Skin on Frame Shearwater Build, Day 6, 6hrs.
Building the keel assembly, Part 1
With all the laminations finally done, I was able to clear off the layout table and start building the inner/outer keel. This part is taking me a lot longer than it really needs to, but I haven’t done this before so I really don’t want to screw it up.
My track saw worked great to cut the scarf joints and Tom’s dual battery circular saw cut the keel curve like a hot knife through butter. I’m hoping to get the whole inner and outer key assembly scarfed beveled and glued by the end of tomorrow.
