I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the next episode of 'Making the Keelsons'. I was momentarily perplexed by what seemed to be a machined cut at the near end. Turns out it is the shadow cast by a clamp. See..... the Shadow knows!

Thanks again, this is very helpful and reassuring to know that my planned approach is ok (not executed yet, but planned ok). I am sweating about boring the shaft hole though. I think the jig your guys made up is cool but beyond me. I am worried because when I worked in my dad's machine shop during the summer ($00.80 an hour!) the foreman and the machinists always said the setup was the most important thing, otherwise you make scrap! I have ideas but it will take time to build up the nerve to start boring. I will practice on pine like iwally.

Love the name and its meaning for the boat. My only suggestion is to move the home port down below the graphic so the letters don't get lost in the graphic.
