Hi Don, the notches in the keel are fine if the frames fit in the slots the planking will cover the joints so they will not be viewed. The notches will look better with practice. Your method of making the bearding rabbit looks like a lot of work it would be easier to score the line with a box cutter and finish it with a v-chisel.

Good progress, Don. Stay with it.

I got my EJWOX spindle sander a few days ago. I plan to make base with a larger table to mount it in. I’ll post when I’m done. Thanks, Don, for the tip on the sander. It looks like it will be a very useful little tool.
 
THANKS DON AND DOC, YEA I AM EMBARSED ABOUT THAT MY ACCESSORY BOX HAS 3 LOCKING NUTS 2 ARE TO SMALL THE 3RD ONE WORKS IT FELL ON THE FLOOR THANK THE LORD I WAS ABLE TO FIND IT WORKS QUITE WELL, DOC WHAT MODIFICATIONS OR ADDITIONS DO YOU PLAN TO DO, ANY IDEAS. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND YOURS DON
 
I should mention I do not have the same machine, mine is the Rigid dual drum/belt sander and the nut on top of the drum is left handed. Talking from experience I know how it is when that nut won't go on properly! o_O I'm not sure if the one you guys have is the same, just something to watch for.
 
OK HAVEING A BRAIN ATTACK THOUGHT I WOUL SHOW WHAT I PROPOSE TO DO I START WITH THE OUTTER KEEL TO SEE IF I AM HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. GOD BLESS STAY SAFE YOU AND YOURS DON20210308_181705.jpg
