Slowly getting back into it as my back heals. Just doing easy jobs. Did the last fiberglassing of the back outside wall of cabin and the last on the rudder. I also glued down the mahogany trim piece on the sliding hatch cover.
Went and got the 4 pieces of rough 1" x 4" x 16 ft for the mast. Got this from Ridge Cedar in Keswick Ridge. He only charged me 34.00 even though he milled them out of a 2 x 6 x 16 piece and two pieces of them had cracks that made them no good for a mast so he replaced them with two more. Great service.

I hope that by putting a wedge under the keel while glueing will solve this....Will let you know!! What a marvelous noseblock I have planed!!
