Picture # 1

Attached are four shots from our work session on our 1934 Columbia River One Design 02/27/07, showing Lew White making the plank rabbet in the new keel section.

Notice his nifty little rabbet plane in picture # 2. Both the keel section and the gripe (lower stem section) are shown clamped into place in Picture # 4 the keel section is joined to the old keel with a scarf joint. 

Next step will be bolting it all together with galvanized carriage bolts and then fitting the planks. 

Gripe is white oak, keel section is fir.
