Locker doors

I don't seem to have achieved an awful lot this week but it seems to go like that now and again I have made and fitted all the outstanding locker doors for the heads and the wine locker. To finish off these doors I had to recycle some laminate from the rotten locker front panel from the fore cabin this meant removing the Evostick from the back of the material fortunately I still have some of the Detak chewing gum remover that Hadlow Marine Windows supplied for cleaning the old sealant from the fore hatch glazing this is quite effective if a little slow I probably wouldn't use it for large areas though.

Heads locker

The varnishing of the timber trim pieces for the galley didn't get done over last weekend other things got in the way however I got the first coat of varnish on during the week the aim is to finish them off over the weekend so that it can all be fitted next week. Also I got the crockery restraining device painted so that this area can be finished off next week.

I have been giving some thought to doors for the under sink lockers in the galley and the heads and also the steering gear compartment in the aft cabin as my woodworking skills are not up to making them I was hoping to be a able to find some solid timber ready made doors at a reasonable price however most of what I could find fail at the reasonable price hurdle but also non standard sizes are a problem I can get louvre doors at a reasonable price but again sizes are a problem I shall keep looking.
