I’ve heard these more than once: Your IQ drops 50 points when the glue bottle is open. The mark of a craftsman is how they recover from a mistake. Here’s a little story that involves both of these. As you may recall, I recently glued the garboard planks to the keelson.

Since the boat is planked upside down, these are the first two planks to go on the boat. The planks, in case you forgot, are made of marine-grade plywood. A sheet of plywood is about 8 feet long and the boat is 14 feet long, that means that each plank comes in two pieces that need to get joined. ## [Your neck keeps needing to be cracked](https://fixyourposture.substack.com/p/your-neck-keeps-needing-to-be-cracked) _2026-07-17 · Fix Your Posture · Fix Your Posture_ Your neck gets cracked. ## [Beveling the keel](https://boat.karlnelson.net/posts/82-beveling-the-keel/) _2026-06-21 · Building a Beg-Meil_ Before I can think about fitting the garboard planks, I need to bevel the keel so the planks fit at just the right angle.

The Caledonia Yawl is a larger boat, but the the construction process (glued lapstrake; plywood) is pretty similar. A few minutes into the video, Kerr says “if you… ## [Why Your Jaw Clenching Won’t Stop (Even With a Mouthguard)](https://posturepro.substack.com/p/jaw-clenching-airway) _2026-06-12 · Posturepro · Posturepro_ If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn teeth, the problem may not start in your jaw at all. ## [From the Outside In to the Inside Out: My First Global Accessibility Awareness Day at Khan Academy](https://blindaccessjournal.com/2026/06/from-the-outside-in-to-the-inside-out-my-first-global-accessibility-awareness-day-at-khan-academy/) _2026-06-10 · Darrell Hilliker · Blind Access Journal_ Khan Academy recently published a recap of its Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) celebration, written by Elizabeth Barker, Senior Technical Program Manager for Accessibility.

I looped the strap around the building frame and through the opening in the stem… ## [Perfect Your Breathing With This Simple Tongue Technique!](https://posturepro.substack.com/p/perfect-your-breathing-with-this) _2026-05-31 · Posturepro · Posturepro_ Most people focus on neck and back posture… but completely ignore one of the most powerful muscles in the body: your tongue. ## [Working on the keel, case logs, and other assorted pieces](https://boat.karlnelson.net/posts/80-working-on-the-keel/) _2026-05-25 · Building a Beg-Meil_ It’s been about a month and half since my last update on this site. Progress has not been rapid. Mostly, that’s because I’ve been scared overly prudent.

As you can see in the plans below, the keel (which is about an inch thick piece of Doug Fir) takes quite the downward bend from the middle of the boat to the transom. I clamped the keel to the centerboard case (and to the stem,… ## [Not a Panacea: Why AI Browser Agents Haven’t Solved the Inaccessible Web—and What Comes Next](https://blindaccessjournal.com/2026/03/not-a-panacea-why-ai-browser-agents-havent-solved-the-inaccessible-web-and-what-comes-next/) _2026-03-28 · Darrell Hilliker · Blind Access Journal_ When Google launched Auto Browse for Gemini in Chrome in January 2026, a few of us in the blind and low-vision community felt a familiar surge of hope.

That’s decent advice, but I’m finding myself measuring a lot more than twice before I get out the saw. To start with, in the cliffhanger to the last episode, I’d determined where to cut the centerboard case, but hadn’t yet worked up the nerve to actually cut it. Since then, I’ve made… ## [Fifty Years of Hard-Won Rights Are on the Line: The Fight to Save Section 504](https://blindaccessjournal.com/2026/03/fifty-years-of-hard-won-rights-are-on-the-line-the-fight-to-save-section-504/) _2026-03-21 · Darrell Hilliker · Blind Access Journal_ Published in support of the National Federation of the Blind s March 2026 call to action.
