Thank you for that advice! I have printed it out and included it with the kit.

I had a warped keel with my Jefferson Davis. Here is a link to the thread that I posted when I asked for help.
http://shipmodeling.net/vb_forum/th...rped-Keel-.html
I built my own keel clamp by taking two pieces of shelving and screwing them to a larger board. Make the slot about the same width as your keel piece. This will keep the keel straight until you add an upper structure. The L brackets kept the higher part of the keel plumb.
Here is a link to my build thread. It is the first wooden ship I have ever attempted. Just take your time.

I'm happy to help Bill. Post some pictures when you can. It makes for easier understanding of what you have written.

Greg,

I will post pictures if I can figure out how to do so. I haven't even figured out how to start a thread on this site!

Anyway, I haven't started the HMS Surprise yet. I am working on HMS Pandora, trying to make modifications to the kit as I go. The f'ocs'le is all wrong.
