Removed the flimsy latches and instead installed new corner brackets that I made last weekend. Put in new thumbscrews. The table feels absolutely solid now.
Also tested folding it down. This could make for a great double-bed.
Saloon table – done

Epoxied saloon table base
Saloon table dry fit
Tested position for the saloon table leg. Not epoxied in yet, just a dry-fit. The teak base needs a bit of adjustment to work with the curvature of the hull before I can glue it in.
Table leg base
Mounted telescoping table leg on new wooden base and routed it to shape so it’s a perfect circle. Next step is to adjust the teak so that saloon table is straight.
Started building table leg base
The table in the saloon needs a base to screw the leg into (can’t put screws into the hull, duh!). Used some leftover teak cutouts from the handrail making to build the starting shape for the 12″ base. Fusion360 helped dial in the sizes, 6 parts give us 60 degree angles for the chuck saw. The inside surfaces are all over the place but they will not be visible anyway so no reason to square that.
