Since I do not have many spare 4x4's as the plans siggest I just made the deadwood from 3 1x scraps. It was glued together and glued on using the adheasive caulk. It was also screwed together and screwed on. Also is the notch that the bottom goes into I drilled it with a drill bit, and in other news a broke the blade to the reciprocating saw today.
Steve basically has been doing most of my lofting, and he has been doing a good job too, he is having trouble fitting the aft pieces and the fore piece of the deck on the same plywood.
As you may see I made a jig or stand or whatnot to hold the keel up, and it is held up.
Another view of the keel. Latter tonight I also attached the side jointers and sanded a little with the belt sander. Depleted resources today: 1 canister caulk/adheasive, 1 sanding belt, 1 reciprocating saw blade, a few 1" screws, and thats about it.
