It Doesn't Look Like a Boat Yet

The noseblock was fun.  It's been years since I've used a plane but it came out pretty well.  I threw the woodshavings on there for artistic effect. How quaint.

 I don't own a bandsaw so I had to find a cabinetmaker who helped me out.  This curved cut was a bit more challenging than I expected but the belt sander helped the curve.

The keel was a bit of a challenge.  What's in this picture is still drying as I type so I can't yet tell you if it fell apart later or it it's warped.  (See the pocketship blog entrys from this week).

 The epoxy container is sitting on the mid block over the butt joint between the fore and aft keel sides.
