There is still plenty of room, Russ.
Welcome !I'm currently in the process of removing the char from the pieces for the cutwater and then will glue them together.
A picture will follow.
Here are some pics of the cutwater construction.
So far, so good. Still a LONG way to go. It is going together very well. The next step is pretty easy too but the one after that I'm withholding judgement at this stage.

Today I'll be working on the rabbet on the cutwater and probably start the keel build.
Hi Jeff. Found the new Group Build and your build-log. Set my chair and follow it with great interest.

Preping for the rabbet at the stem and also starting the glue-up of the keel.
You can never have too many clamps (unless you are drowning
)
If you look closely at the two pieces that are next to attach to the cutwater, you can see the line for the location of the rabbet.

Oops. Forgot to add the last pic.
Good morning. So far all looks mighty fine. That rabbet line is so cool. It will still be a difficult job to get the rabbet sized and cut/scrapped in but what a pleasure. Enjoy. Cheers Grant
well, i have the deadwood assembled and waiting for the glue to dry to taper it again since I added parts G1-1.
that will be tomorrow. i would post a pic but right now it just looks like a bunch of clamps.
I'll post a pick tomorrow when I can show it without clamps and then tomorrow it will also be attached to the cutwater.

In preparing for the deadwood at the stern, I removed the parts to start cleaning them up for assembly. The parts again fit wonderfully, however, some of the parts in the E3 plate are marked wrong. The instructions say to use 2 of number 13, 2 of 15, 2 of 17 and 2 of 18.
what I found were one marked as 13 but the other marked as 6. One marked as 15, but the other identified as 19. One marked 17 and one unmarked. then I found 2 marked as 18. The parts are pretty easy to identify if you don't get confused by the numbers and search through all the rest of the parts looking for the ones marked with the right numbers

I was a little confused with the term cutwater as I always thought this was just a small piece sometimes on the forward edge of the knee of the head. I did some digging and found that cutwater and knee of the head can be interchangeable terms depending on the source of the definitions. A drawing from Steel, if I remember correctly, is what got me confused. Live and learn
No matter, this looks to be a very fine kit.Allan
