DocBlake Posted May 29, 2018 Author #32 Posted May 29, 2018 Thanks, Kurt! I cut the keelson to it's final shape. This was harder than I thought it would be because of the curve in the piece. I probably could have done a better job, but the critical part is how the keelson fits in the notched of the station template, and how it relates to the chines so that the bottom planking is flat. I can live with the keelson as it is! tlevine, BenF89, mtaylor and 4 others 7 Dave Click on images in posts to view them in full resolution! Click on the builds below and link to the log.
