Here’s a couple of pix of my winter project near finished took it to boat a few wk ago to make sure it fit. I copied the design off another boater that stopped by the marina for fuel on his way to his home port I believe his name is Garland not sure if he’s a member of this site he maybe but under a different handle if so thanks for the idea. I still have the extra storage space covers to install but that can be done on a foul weather day didn’t want to buy a S S piano hinge lots of $$$. The slide out board seen in pix are foot rest. The bottom opening will make for storage space that is dearly needed on our s The Missus just loves it now see can see out the windows & see where we R going instead of looking out the stern door & seeing where we’ve been. She sort of has the same opinion as Jeff, on F/B especially if it’s a little choppy )-;
The two drawbacks it’ll make a harder to open the hatch area over the strb eng. & as my bilge monkey said he wants to be there with a camera when I’m taking one of my midday siesta’s & take the near 2' drop to the Saloon’s sole maybe Jeff can engineer me some sort of seat belt

Norm,
Nice craftsmanship, looks good.
I knew you had money.............in that first pic, I was eyeballin that big screen tv, is that the one you watch the 0-16 team on. Don't forget to watch the Steelers today.

Takes a lot of Liquer to build a Locker like that!! good job Doc!! When I rebuilt the Sorrydog, I actually had a u-haul type trailer there for all the beer cans from the help and ADVISORS I had stop by daily to check on the Job,my buddy sold the alum. Sundays I just gave up trying to work and drank with all the visitors wanting to see the FOOL AND HIS FOLLY!!! Half the fun was re-building the boat!!!Sorrydog

Jeff,

That is a draw back, even though it’s a two parter to make it somewhat easier to move around the once or twice a season that my bilge monkey has to get down there he even agreed we gotta keep the ole girl happy Now watch this season that eng. will be my PITA
She came up with a good idea but a little to late about putting a trundle bed in that space but I had already cut out & veneered the riser by the she came up with her idea.

Fred,

Thanks for the kudos, But nowhere’s near what the cabinet the your Dad built for U now there’s
a craftsman
I been trying to talk the wife into sanding the original settee but that doesn’t look like it’s going to
happen, maybe next season I’ll bring it home & veneer the upper half to match the lower part
hope there’s enough edging on the drawer front to square off cause it a bit testy trying to do
the radiuses with veneer or I may just build new fronts for them.

Glad you asked. It is one of my pet peeves about some online forums. Ours is (sorta) pretty good now. Hijacking (I love this new internet speak) is where someone abruptly changes the subject. Throws us off topic. It is quite understandable and happens kinda naturally, following the way we speak at a friendly bull session. One minute we are talking props and the next about the size of the mermaid's flippers.

For example, one posts a comment or question on, say, what gauge electrical wiring to use when hooking up a whatever. After a few posts, someone says I used a certain wire for my fridge. The next guy writes asking how to repair the fridge. Then someone else says they do it with fishing line...then we are into how to catch a fish...and we soon are a long way from wire gauge. Kinda like the old game of "telephone".

This thread started out talking about cabinetry, then danced into posting pix, then hijacking. The problem hijacking creates is when you come along trying to find info and it is scattered all over hell's half acre. For this band of faithful followers - we have a great party line dialog going here - lots of fun - but for onlookers, they can get thrown off course pretty easily when they are looking for help.

On the other hand.... there's nothing "wrong" with table talk. That is what Marinette friends are for!
