Glued Keelson to Keel Assembly

Today I glued the keelson to the keel assembly. I did a combination of drywall screws and clamps to hold it in place. I will remove the drywall screws once everything is cured. I think everything turned out good. Today was the first time I used a pastry bag. It worked pretty good. I need to thicken the epoxy a little more next time and I might use a small piece of wood to hold the epoxy  from coming back the other way when I squeeze it.  But for the first time using the pastry bag, it was actually pretty easy. I purchased them on Amazon, but I see now that CLCBoats is also starting to sell them.

Keelson and Keel all glued up.

In the above pictures you can see the keelson glued to the keel. I used a rag on the front of the keelson to hold it down, but it was not enough weight, so I used a welding glove, which was a little heavier. 

Moving Keel Around

Before today, I needed a way to move the keel assembly around and also to protect it. For right many weeks, I have had it sitting on 2 furniture dollies. You can also see the cardboard cap I taped up to protect the nose block from me moving it around and possibly running into something. I also purchased 2 more dollies today and plan on using them to put the cradle on.
