After eventually getting all the keel parts, I built my keel jig tonight. Now I might start getting some work done!

Actually mate, you can't allow the keel to drop into the slots on your decking board, cos the frames go right to the bottom of the keel. Huh

Exactly, he'll need to cut some lines across for the ribbing.

Is a jig needed, or just recommended?
