alichty044 Posted November 4, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 4, 2018 Hello Everybody! I was encouraged to start a build log. I stated that once I received the replacement part from Model Expo that I would do just that. I received my package on Friday and so I am now going to begin my log. Let me apologize in advance for all of the "basic" questions that I will have along the way. As I have previously stated, I am very eager to learn from all of the incredibly talented people on this forum. The first picture is of my workspace (it's a good thing that I am single lol) The remaining photos are of the bearding line and rabbet The keel and false keel are not yet glued in the following picture but soon will be Please, if anybody sees something that i have done (or am doing) incorrectly, tell me - I promise that I won't be offended Aaron Tom E and Fright 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alichty044 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted November 5, 2018 Well.... My entry into this hobby has not been kind to me lol. First, I break the bow portion of the false keel off. Then I accidentally stabbed myself in the finger with my XACTO blade. Now this... When I came home from work, I was excited to begin working; however, this excitement was short lived. When I picked up the freshly glued keel/false keel assembly, I noticed that it was seriously twisted. As I was working on each portion individually, I never noticed anything that would give me any indication that this was even a remote concern. So it's time for my first question - I am using Titebond III. What do I use to debond the glue? I believe I have read that you use acetone. Can I use nail polish remover or do I need a more concentrated solution? If I need a more concentrated solution, where can I purchase it? Allow me to post some pictures so that you can see what I am talking about. This first picture just is looking along the keel This next picture shows the degree of the twist at the stern This next photo shows the extent of the twist at the stem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You haven't really "arrived" in this hobby until you stab/slice/impale/gouge yourself with some sharp instrument.

Dr PS - Paul Schulze Posted June 25, 2019 Share #8 Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Hello Aaron, I just noticed you have not posted in a good while. I hope you continue to make progress on your boat. As a suggestion, I would contact Model-Expo again and request a new sheet which contains the keel and false keel.
