Internal doors 3

This weeks post is a bit on the short side the main aim has been to progress the internal doorways after fitting the ply infill pieces last week. I have been cutting out and fitting the laminate to cover the infill pieces a straightforward job to cut the laminate to size and mark the curve of the top of the doorway then cut it out with the jig saw. The forward doorway laminate required some holes to clear the bolts for the baby stay chain plate I didn't want to clamp the laminate under the chain plate bolts as the tabbing which secures the bulkhead is a little uneven and I felt that it might crack the laminate if pulled up tight I will probably finish off with a varnished hardwood cover piece over these bolts.

Once I had finished the laminate pieces I glassed in the ply infill pieces on both sides to both doorways they were already secured with thickened epoxy and screws so this was just a bit of belt and braces. I shall leave the epoxy to cure for about a week before sticking the laminate down with contact adhesive.

Also this week I have varnished the shelves for various lockers and put them in place the interiors of these lockers still needs to be finished off either with paint or some of the carpet that I used for the headlining also the doors need making and fitting

Also this week I have sourced a small round stainless steel inset sink which I intend to use as the heads wash basin this was obtained from Screwfix the aim this weekend is to get the hole in the worktop cut out for it.
