Installed pull handle and re-used hole saw cutouts as stoppers on the underside. With cutting board in place, the galley is complete. Just need to varnish the panels and get teak trim installed 🙂
Installed cutting board. Galley – done!
Finalizing cutting board
Made a piece for the front of the cutting board, rounded edges, and glued it in.
Then made a juice groove by sticking a centerpiece on the board using double-sided tape and then routing around it. Hindsight: might have been better to use CNC for this and do a cleaner groove with shape closer to square.
Galley dry fit complete, stove mounted
Took some time to fit all the CNCd pieces together. Man, this boat has no straight angles anywhere and all the measurements end up requiring some adjustment when parts are installed. Nevertheless, it call came together today. Not 100% done but only minor fit adjustments left to finalize it.
Glued together cutting board pieces
This is teak from bathroom vanity table cutouts that I kept around for 5 years. Made 3 solid pieces out of it and glued it together for the galley cutting board.

New sliding doors for galley shelf
Ordered new doors at TAP Plastics. These look really good. Can’t wait to see it with the LED backlight wired in.
Installed trash can sliders
Got the trashcan sliders in place. These will need a bit more adjustment to make the front face perfectly aligned to the opening.
Started work on galley panels
Things are starting to take shape in the galley.
Galley storage refreshed
Finally got to the galley storage shelf. Replaced side panel, painted interior light gray, and sanded/stained/varnished teak frame. Also added rubber liner to keep things from sliding around inside.
Next up for it: install LED strip inside, replace old sliding doors with new semi-transparent panels, and mount it securely.
