The builder aligns the steel keel of the Rusty Junk by using a combination of mechanical pressure, heat, and strategic cutting. After initial attempts to pull the keel into alignment using winches and propane heat proved ineffective, the builder cuts the metal along the alignment line to allow for inward bending.1:45 The keel structure incorporates internal tabs for symmetry, which are secured with double-pass welds to ensure both structural strength and a waterproof seal.6:35 Ballast installation involves filling the keel cavity with approximately 500 pounds of scrap metal, including car springs, supplemented by 600 pounds of concrete.5:45 The builder estimates the final boat displacement at 7,000 to 8,000 pounds, with a target of 3,000 pounds of total ballast.4:39 To secure additional external weight, the builder welds heavy-duty bolts to the keel base, ensuring each attachment point connects to internal support structures within the hull.5:13 Strategic welding and precise pressure application are necessary to align heavy steel plate components.
