Thank you Jeff. As is yours. Have you decided how you are going to prepare your false keel joints. I'm just making a 45 degree scarf at each joint for ease. After sanding nobody is going to see it. I build for pleasure and not worried about 100% historical accuracy, as long as l think it looks OK :)

Yes, I am planning on the same.

Keef, Looking awesome!! Somehow, I wasn't following this latest build of yours.

I've corrected that and will enjoy my late to the party, back row seating.

Joints are looking clean and tight. Keep up the good work.

Hi Brad. Thanks very much, I'm sure there's plenty of room, pull up a chair, it's good to have you
 
Stern deadwood glued and keel pieces dry fitted to see how it all fits together. A little sanding of the bow gripe piece curve will have it fitting perfectly inside the jig. When the glue has dried on the stern deadwood l will begin the first sanding to taper it down to 3 mm at the bottom. Everything seems to fit the drawing nicely :)

Great start, I wonder what happens next. I watched your construction of Alert and will follow this one.
