The sponsor and I are attempting to build a new tender. It's a Romney 2.2.
Top Picture: Shaping the top curve of the keel. I used the Spokeshave for this. You can see the planks already cut out on the floor, and the stem on the table on the right.
In the next picture, I'm using a piece of scrap as a guide to plane the angle at the aft end of the keel.
The next two pictures show the sponsor making sure all is square (ish) and straight.

The final pictures show it all glued and clamped up. We'll get on to the fitting of the planks when the epoxy dries. It's very cold here at the moment and doesn't seem to want to cure at all.
