Under Hatch and Under Counter

Yesterday we mounted the speaker enclosures on the underside of the hatch.  The enclosures were constructed to match the under-hatch aesthetic.

I also applied another coat of pigmented polyurethane to the water cabinet and the counter.

Today I fit the cooler fill panel and doors to the lower galley cabinet area.  Final adjustments to the doors, drawers and panel will be made when all finishes are applied and final mounting is undertaken.

The panel on the right is a door that opens 90 degrees under the stove drawer for access to the propane tanks and other storage.

Both stove drawer and right door open.

Right door closed, stove drawer open.
 

The left cabinet (water cabinet) has a door that opens 170 degrees.  This door has a panel that matches the drawer/door on the right, with an oak panel and rosewood inlay strips.  This cabinet will contain the water tank, the sink and faucet, and more.

Finally, the cooler drawer has a removable panel that can be stowed when parked for convenience.

The panel will be removable, and will store in a position as shown below.  The cooler cabinet will also contain the on-demand water pump and screen.

The new door panels fail to match the drawer fronts in color in the photos because they have not yet been finished.  That is the next step for these components.

Additionally today, Sean worked to secure wiring chases, and another coat of white polyurethane was added to the countertop.

The next steps are to add another coat to the counter top, put an initial coat of lacquer on the counter rail, and put finish on the doors/panels to match the existing fronts.  Once that finish work is complete, the closure hardware for these openings can be mounted.
