Well only a few days but months of second guessing myself and overthrowing. This is a full keel. Normally the part I'm attaching would be all one piece with the bottom. But I couldn't find any oak logs or beams so I had to make it in two parts
The hard part for me was how to make it match all the curves of a hand cut piece. It took a bit but I got it. This angle is what the side boards or strakes will be based off of. And honestly, I totally eyeballed the angle. Peoples keel angles are closely guarded secrets. Even my friends in the viking ship museum wouldn't tell me that bit of info so I took a picture of a keel and did my best to reverse the math. I figured 45 degrees would be too fat of a boat and 20 would be too skinny. It would be faster but also less stable. I went with 30 degrees now to attach this in a manor that will make every know it all on YouTube shit thier diapers lol
