Fred, yeah, I did draw up a rough working picture to keep me focused, I'll scan it Mon. and shoot you an e-mail or just post it. I'm using 1/2" Baltic birch for the sides and supports and mahogany to set in rod holders and drawers or trays. Joints are simple butt joints with some inset rabbet joints where the mahogany is used. I'm using epoxy and stainless screws to assemble it -- the epoxy will provide the strength. I'll soften the corners with a round-over bit. I may glass and tape them, but more than likely I'll brush or spray everything with epoxy. Then I'll sand and paint the Baltic birch white and get a clear gloss polyurethane for the mahogany probably coat the paint, too. I'm also going to try to make a cantilevered pull out seat that slides out over the cooler from under the port seat. We'll see if that works...
