Thanks for the kind words everyone. Charles I'm probably lazier than you. My dremels are downstairs in my shop. Too lazy to go get one!

Finished doing a preliminary cleaning of the inside of the frames today, then moved on to assembling the keel.

First a dry run. I then did another on the build jig but forgot to take a picture.

And here it is all glued together. Time permitting tomorrow and I'll mount the keel assembly on the build jig.

One day I will try to build something like that
Thing is I am a KIT builder that like to have the harder part done for me
So for now I will sit nicely in my chair and admire your skill.

That is looking great, looks like a nice fit on all your keel pieces. Must feel good to be making saw dust again

Thanks everyone.

Yes it is nice to get back to modeling. It has been too long. Be nicer if I could get down into my shop where all my tools are. Might have to set up an area up here on the main floor and move up some of my tool boxes. But for now my living room coffee table is my work bench.

The keel assembly has been connected to the build jig. I did this using frames 1, 11, 17 and 25 making sure everything was sqared up. I then continued and installed half the full frames.
