Bleached the center panels of the doors to get the red hues out, then stained teak frames. Varnished all sides. This is the last piece of panel work for the entire boat. Great milestone!
Got the doors bleached, stained, and varnished
Trimmed head door and dry fit lock
After I rebuilt all the panels, I haven’t yet tried to put the door back. Surely, it did not fit. Had to trim both sides of the door and make a small lip to hide the hinge. I was also lucky to find the original door handle and lock, which I installed into the new slimmer door. Will need to hide old hole with some small teak bangs.
Finished sanding doors
Finally finished removing all the ugly plastic veneer from the teak doors. Found beautiful wood grain underneath. Dry fit the folding door and all its latches. Will need to patch old holes with teak bangs and then they will be ready to bleach, stain, and varnish.
Fixing a leak
Several of the fasteners started leaking on the inside after I pressure washed the deck a bit too close to the handrail base. Had to raise it, clean things up, and re-bed it.
Final pieces of teak trim installed
Corner trim installed
Quick coat of varnish on teak corners
Rounded corners stain
Sanded and prepped teak trim corners. Stained.
Dry fit rounded corners
Took quite a bit of time to get the rounded corners fitted perfectly but it looked pretty good in the end.
Made rounded corners on CNC
Used the cutout piece from bathroom vanity as stock to CNC a few rounded corners for teak trim. Some had to be done as 2 halves and glued together.
