Picking up from the last push on dehumidifier, I strapped down to the new shelf, cut out air vents in the panels and re-installed panels back. Nice and clean.
Final touches for dehumidifier
Doors installed
With varnish dry, it was time to mount the doors. Hinges had a lot of rust on them so I took a detour and spent over an hour hitting them with a buffer until some of the shine was restored.
Re-installed finished panels
Finally put the galley and the new starboard locker back together, now with finished panels. Love that warm color!
Varnishing panels
While my new shop is still under construction, it is still a useful place to do some varnish work. This may be the first boat project in the new shop!
Took apart galley and starboard locker
Time to do proper varnish of the few remaining interior panels, namely galley and starboard shelf/locker. Took them apart and started with rough sanding.
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.
Finished building starboard storage shelf
The span ended up being too wide for 0.5″ plywood so I decided to add a center support piece that would not let the shelves sag. Made it from scrap piece of plywood that ended up matching the needed dimensions and curves pretty well.
After the centerpiece, made and installed the front panel and its trim. Hinges are 4″ off the bottom so that the opened panel will rest on top of cushions (once I make them 🙂
Love the final result. Just need a few latches to keep the door in place.
