Thanks guys, it is killing me this but I love it
It will be well worht the faffing I reckon.
Oh and I have a new boat`y thing / Project coming soon
Cant wait for that but I am not going to get distracted by it. Theres going to be a different thread for that
Today`s jobs was to finish the locker frames first. I have been meaning to do this for months now. And still not finished as now instead of using 18mm marine ply I am going to make a sheet of 6mm GRP and use that, good job there is on rush.
Now then the galley,
As I said in the last update I wanted to move the oven back a little, well by about 12 inch. Make s alot of difference as now the seating is a lot better and the berth near 6`6" long.
Time to re`sett the battens. Just a matter to move the end battens back, this gives more of a curve to the worktop now , not a bad thing hey Richard
First the top batten
I used some long battens to check the curve of all the horizontals were the same.
Then a case of moving the oven base over.
The base needed a trim back a little but I cut a bit more for more ventilation for the oven.
Underneath will be storage.
Once the oven was in situ i used some 6mm ply to make a template for whn i decide on the work top, It is still planned to use Sapele.
The sink was next to mark out for the fitting. Easy bit as just a matter to decide where ( not that there is much choice ) then drawing around the sink rim and 12mm less for the rim to sit on.
Good work bench the new rear deck. I need to stop cutting into it though duh
Drill first for the Jigsaw blade to fit.
Steady as you go, better to cut less of if you are not to good with a Jigsaw. Can always trim more off but not add more on
And there we go, sink in situ now
feeling better about this more and more now.
I finished early as my knee and hands were killing me, i managed to get the galley storage lined out.
The unit is lined with 4mm ply and the rear panel is removable in case I need to the water tank access hatch.
On the left side of the oven I am going to add a folding worktop in case more work space is needed. A lift up and slide down type.
The main cupboard is ok where it is as I was going to angle it back a little for a more wider walk through. I may well decide different by tomorrow so we will see.
The right hand side of the worktop up to the bulkhead will be for cutlery and plate storage. That could be tomorrows job.
