More bits coming together at the stern

These bits that have been shaped in the next door shed have been brought together to check for fit. All the fine shaping is done by very sharp hand planes. In addition the keel and false keel, you can see here the deadwood and a large knee,.... honest! They will eventually be bolted together along with the stern post which goes on the end. After similar work at the foreword end, moulds will be set up and planking can begin.
