Fellow beginner here. I am on the very first step (beveling the rabbet on the false keel) and I want to make sure I am doing it correctly. My inclination was to take a file to the edges but as I began I was feeling that this was very imprecise and I fear either the rabbet won't be deep enough or that I file down to too fine a point that the keel doesn't glue on properly.
What tool and method did you use to get that bevel right?
