August 23, 2007 This morning, I finished up the major work on the cabin sole with the final section in the forward cabin. The process was the same as the other areas, except that here I applied a transverse piece of the teak across the raised opening to the forward cabin, and butted the other strips against it to make a clean edge. |

Afterwards, I worked on the cabinet doors for a while. I cut and fit the slats in all the remaining doors; I had just enough of the pre-cut and pre-finished material to do all the slats, with minimal waste. I lucked out. When the glue dried on the final doors, I installed hinges and knobs on the doors. For some reason, I didn't have enough sets of hinges, though I'd ordered them specifically for this job. I only had 10 pair, but needed 13. Oh well. I ordered more, and then installed as many of the doors as I could. Later, I'll install some door catches that I have, but for now the doors stay closed on their own. Trim makes all the difference. Between the new locker doors and several pieces of varnished trim that I cut and installed at the same time, the cabin began to transform and look more complete. The next steps on the cabin sole should really bring things together. |
