Day 50 and 51: Hatch Lids and Hand Rails







My Dad Tom showed up with some Gems. -The ash handrails and more importantly... the wine rack!

To all future clients... port side hatch is where its at :)

I feel a river trip coming on...

Speaking of river trips -yes, we're ready.  We have oars!

Where's the beef? -right here.

10'6" with the handle end left octagonal raw.
This boat is gonna look too good, we've got to leave something to make it look homemade!

Tom was working hard while I was doing all that sanding.

Idea to reality.

The hardware has arrived... I can't wait until its time to go heavy metal!

Tom creates space for the hatch lid hinges.

Router + Jig = perfect fit.

Its all in the details.

Recess for the hinge.

It got epoxy then a second coat of epoxy+wood powder for wood protection.

All the holes for the hinge bolts were also drilled.

Cut out for the hatch lid latches.

The hatches and their latch cutouts.
All the exposed ply got 2 layers of epoxy/ epoxy+wood powder.

Hanger bolts installed on the hand rails. We also drilled the holes for install into the thwarts.

I drew out the constellation "Bootes" on the transom to start bringing in the Arcturus energy.
