Flying Fifteen Pacific - 4034

Shifting gears a bit and planning to cut keelson while it is sitting in the molds and battens that form the cold mold profile.  Checking the keelson with laser it is pretty tight with a small 3/8" skew at the stem.  The stem has quite a bit of meat on it so there should be no problem sculpting it out.  Flipped the keel over and rechecked the laser line and double checked with a tool to mark the top and bottom center. 

There are some obvious oops in the lamination, basically too much wood that will be cutoff anyway.  The 3-4-5 station areas are looking good and flow easily from fore and aft.  Lots of routing though, probably get kicked out of the neighborhood.

Did some tune up on the base and bolstered the ends, added straight line and set square marks normal to it at each station.   The transom location is approximate but lots of room to work with.  Raised baseline 11/16 inch so the molds will ride above the line and tape.  Started fitting molds, work goes fast, spacing is easy and accurate so thinking about fabricating the long battens, stringers, whatever they are called that go over the molds and which the strips get laid out on for the hull. 

 Had the keel jig sections reset on keel to mark off all the station lines.  This helped out a bit.  I think now these can be taken apart to wood or scrap.
