Had a couple of hours to spare tonight so went down the the shed to do some thinking and prep work and ended up making most of the second lamination for the keel.
I forgot to mention I glued the first lamination to the frames during the week. That went ok. I can see judging the amount of glue required the laminate the keel pieces together Abington difficult to determine.
Then struck a small challenge, I need to drill a couple of 25mm holes about 10mm deep to recess the stem to keel bolts. I have a fist full of auger bits and a couple of braces, but the bits haven't seen service in about 25 years and were very blunt.
You Tube to the rescue, found a couple of tutorials on how to sharpen the bits, and found it remarkably easy and successful.
So I have ended the evening with my second lamination pretty close to ready, just need to plan out how to drill the stem bolt holes square, that's going to be tricky.
