Building the 23' V-Bottom Skiff - Episode 8 - Installing the keelson

We're getting pretty close to putting on our bottom, but before we can do that we need to install our keelson. This is the long timber that runs from the stem to the transom and accepts the bottom planking from the chines. In this episode we're going to show you how we create the slot in the transom with a chisel to accept the keep and also how we create a glue scarf between the stem and keelson at the bow.
