Good afternoon, I made some progress on my kit today, First I added the rabbet Next, i cut out the 4th and 5th bulkhead so I can get a better visualization of the the rabbet on the stem, and stemsom. I was able to get some good contract with a sample 1/32 piece from my last project. Next I spent some more time deepening the rabbet, and getting the angle right. I also use an eraser to remove some of the pencil marks Hopefully you can see the transition to 90 here in the stem Finally I started the gluing process I did break the stem post as I had to move it and it was setting up faster than expected. I noticed my crafting room was 78 I also found that the stem was lifting, so I used a couple or 3x2x1 blocks to hold it down. Cheers jim

I picked up both the slicer and sander kit. Both tools are fantastic, and work as designed

@Gregory I had to sand mine down a bit on both the keelsom and fore keelsom to get it to fit, and line up mostly to the lines.

I see that the lines do not fully match on the keelsom. I had the same issue this looks really good.

Good evening, After a challenging week, I was able to get some modeling done tonight. First I labeled the parts so that I could remember what is what Next I then cut out the keel, keelsom, stern post, fore keelsom, stem, stemson, deadwood and the l-piece from the kit. I then used some double sided tape to help dry fit the pieces Next I focused on getting the stemson and stem lined up correctly with a nice joint. I then removed the char from the pieces, to work on the fit. I ended up making a couple sanding sticks after trying to use an old blade to scrap off the char. The results are as follows: Finally the fit for the stemson to the stem now looks like: I continued per the manual with the following items to get a nice fit. I realigned my keelsom to the its matching bulkhead location, and then worked on the fore keelsom to get it to fit. and match its bulkheads. The final result is Finally today, I marked out the rabbets. I will let it sit overnight before I make some sawdust and cut them out. jim
