21 Hull #136...Restoration...Started

[Islandtrader]

After getting the fairing done and shooting the top cap (again). It is starting to look like something that belongs.

Port



Starboard



Cap



There is only so much sanding priming and fairing a guy can do...before he blanks out.

So my fun project was to fabricate a glove(junk) box . When I first bought the boat the PO just cut the dash and basically tortured the thing. Look close it is not even centered.

Old



So knowing that I would
re-do this some day I filled it and glassed it with new wood.




Then made fair and primer




Now a couple of years later I decided how I was going to do the new box.

Pick a size and center




Make a template to enclose the space



Then make a real template



Cut out cardboard and see how it looks




Make cleats to hold the floor and sides in



Use scrap azec used from other projects and check fit



Now I have a glove box that matches my bunk covers that I made a while ago in Starboard... Glove box door is in starboard also.








Now that the fun is over and my white oak is in I have to start the final on the windshield.
