Here I have glued the joint. The hole in the middle must be plugged with a suitable piece of wood. This locks the joint on the full scale ship. Here it is more visual.

How can it be visual if you do not see it? It's a wonderful detail but you will only see it on a picture after glueing the false keel and the rising wood to the keel.
Visual in the sense that it has no practical function. Some of these joints will actually be visible.

The working jig is well prepared - and is looking very good
A good preparation will reduce later on the problems
Maybe it would be good to press the keel not against the screws - maybe you add there some small sheets of wood between keel and the screw - not to damage the keel by small vibrations and movement during the next months

I was not visiting your build-log, Ornholt. But what I see is very interesting. And the scratch build of a clipper is always interesting.
Sit on my chair to follow!

It's already arranged. It was not included in the first photo as they were not finished in the 3-d printer.
I use rubber cement. Elmers brand here in the US. I have seen Europeans using Fixogum. No distortion of the paper and it rubs right off the wood with no leftover residue. Hope this helps.
As Paul already mentioned
FIXOGUM from Marabu is the best glue - can be easily afterwards rub off the timber

Hello Ornhold,
I just now came across your great construction report. Fantastic to see Young America here on SOS. I only know Ed's build so far and I agree his books and drawings are very good. You're off to a good start, your jig looks perfect and so does the pear wood you're using. As far as the glue for sticking paper is concerned, Paul and Uwe can only agree, I also use the Fixo GUM and it is really excellent. I'll definitely keep at it.

Thanks for the reply. I'm going to try Fixo Gum. See that it is available to order on Amazon.
Its messier than glue stick and has quite an alarming smell - but it performs. I'm sure you will be happy.

Paul, I don't know what kind of (poisonous
) stuff you get in the States, it's almost odorless and almost transparent here.
