Starboard Side Prep
Further preparations to the port side occurred today. We:
- Sized and attached the roof rib to the side
- Filled in the aft reflex section
- Attached the galley partition cleat to the side
There are four "center" ribs, one attached to each side and two in the open area between. Today we fitted and attached the starboard side rib to the side itself.
These ribs will profile both the interior lining and exterior cladding. As the distance between the outside of the sides is 63+", and the side thickness is 1-3/4" each, the plywood running side-to-side will be approximately 59-5/8". This allows for a clean trim of each interior sheet.
Following is a detail of the rib:
We also attached a cleat for the galley partition:
Finally, Sean filled in the section at the rear below the platform with a scrap cut off from one of the ribs:
With these additions, the preparation of the port side are essentially complete.
Magnificent job, real craftsmanship.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gary - Coming from you, that is quite a complement. I have to give proper recognition to my partner in this project, Sean Fox, who has added not only his skill but many, many thoughts and ideas that have bettered the project.
