Another apology to readers waiting for updates. 3 weeks since my last update is a bit slack. December is always busy and usually not particularly productive. Anyway, I am still building just not posting. Also being the start of summer, its time to report on the Pureseal test. I think it is fair to say […]
The Dividing panel that separates the galley and the bathroom is made and the next step, glassing it in will create the finished bathroom space. Once in I will then have the limits of the cabinet space to work with for the main galley cabinets. We have decided we are not comfortable with a gas […]
I was given an idea by a friend that makes campervans on an alternative method of making a curved corner panel for the galley cabinets, especially the floor to ceiling pantry unit. The longer a curved panel is the harder it is to curve it and maintain a fair curve. So instead of kerfing a […]
The galley is an area I have thought about for a long time. It was always understood by me that the galley and main bathroom would be one of the last sections of furniture construction and we (Jo and I) went through a number of options about how and where we would have the galley […]
I had made a start on the final section of the unfinished navigation cabinet located in front of the helm inside the saloon, it will also house the entertainment and all electronics on board. One decision we have not made yet is if we will use the plotter screen as our tv/dvd screen. At 15″ […]

Following on from the myriad of small jobs started yesterday I pretty much finished the aft bedroom, well not the actual bed area, that still has a couple of cupboard fronts to be glassed in and a shelf, but I have some work inside the front of those 2 before wanting to glass the front […]
Lots of little jobs done on Saturday in order for lots of little jobs to be finished in Sunday. Such things as back filling eges, glassing smaller parts together before the piece goes into place (because glassing these small parts in place might be too difficult to get to) or painting some parts with white […]
After 4 days of do a bit, let it set, do a bit more, let it set, I have finally glued and glassed the pieces into the boat to finish the aft bedroom inboard cupboard, well almost, I have glassed the last top panel in, (not in the pics but it is done) and next […]
One of the frustrating things about making your own furniture and making it up as you go along is that there are so many steps involved that require a wait for parts to set, most of the time it is edge being backfilled that create the wait. And because I am pretty much making it […]
