You noticed those! Wow, they are nice. Once you try them, you're hooked. A bit pricey, but worth it in the end for time saved.
Starting the jig assembly. I added a little reinforcement to the jig. Over-engineered as usual!
I have no doubts, Mike! Thanks again!

Hello Dave, Great job you are doing as always. Where did you get those Perma-Grit files!!!? They look extra nice and handy.

Thanks Lawrence. The Perma Grit files are available through MicroMark. You can get them on Amazon, also. The are tungsten carbide and cut very quickly. I love them!

Hello Dave, I thank you very much for your information, I will have to look into a set of these.
Regards Lawrence
You can't go wrong Lawrence. They will last forever!!

Hello Mike, Thanks, you and Dave have convinced me.

I finished the building jig. The last photo shows the keel blank with the scarf cut into the forward end held in place by the wooden "clamps". Once the keel is placed in the jig, I'll hold it down to the base by drilling some holes on either side of the keel at a couple of locations and fixing it in place with a couple of nylon cable ties.

Hello Dave, Just checked out a set of those Perma-Grit files at Micro-Mark, they are 23.95 USD with free shipping. However with duty and the exchange rate it would cost me 55.71 Canadian to have a set shipped her, some rip off our Canadian Gov., This is a nice set but this cost is not at all that good. Thanks for your information.

That's too bad, Lawrence. They are great files.
I began work on assembling the keel. The most important part is getting the stem glued to the keel, and setting the sternpost and the deadwood. I fiddled with the sternpost angle for about an hour before I was satisfied. The first photo shows the relationship between the keel blank, the stern post and the stern deadwood.
Before I do any gluing, I need to decide what to do with the deadwood. Bothe Bob Hunt's plans and Hahn's plans call for this to be one single piece. Given the size and shape I'm sure in real life it was made up of component parts. Any thoughts on a design? I enclosed a photo of the part outline as well as what the deadwood looks like with the stern half frames in place.

Could you use the last image in this link: https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/...-ship-built-from-plans.4602/page-2#post-94579
as inspiration.
Keeping the size of the ship and the scale of the timbers in mind, you may be able to work it out: at least you can get an idea of a possible logical layout of the parts: a knee in the corner + vertical extension + somewhat horizontally built up deadwood (with a couple timbers, everything tied with scarf-joints like connections.
Probably not historically correct for your ship but feasible if you want to built this area with several timbers.

Very handy tools, I love them
I taped a copy of the plans to a piece of melamine shelving, then put down some double sided tape. After blackening the edges of the scarf joint, I taped the stem to the plans. I put some glue in the scarf, the glued the stem to the scarf, holding it with an office clip and weighing the keel assembly down with weights. Next is the sternpost and the fore and aft deadwood.
