1971 Newport 30 Sailboat
Took all the teak trim I made plus some original trim I saved to figure out whether I have all the edges covered. Definitely need to make a few more corners but overall I have 90% in place. Just need to make a few more pieces, finish, and install it all.
Started making a new shelf for v-birth with a few guides to keep it in place. Running out of 3/4″ ply so had to join a few remaining odd pieces together.
Thinking it will have a cushion with magnetic attachments so it can be used both as a middle cushion and as a tray to put a drink on.
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 🙂
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
