Cut to Shape

Christeen's keel is looking more and more like the final product every day, by the end of next week we may have the keel in its final position.

Here are more pictures and videos, just in time for the weekend.

And a video of hand sawing, you can't beat this! In order to get the perfect fit between the boat and the new keel the shipwrights had to hand saw the length of the boat where the keel came in direct contact with the existing frame structure. If you are really excited about hand sawing there is another video here:Christeen Videos along with some others already posted on this blog.
