Project Log: Sunday, March 18, 2012
The weather, with record warmth scheduled, was far too
nice to spend the day inside, but I managed to complete
a few tasks before moving on to unrelated outdoor
chores.
To begin, I removed the now-dry curved trim from the
edge of the binnacle mount. The piece retained its
shape nicely, and I decided to cut and soak a new piece
to replace it, since wedging it in place to dry as I had
before meant I didn't need the fasteners I'd begun to
install originally. |
 |
I recut a trim blank to replace the damaged, too-short
one from yesterday, and completed the milling operations
to allow the trim to slide over the top of the
longitudinal bulkheads in the pilothouse. |
 |
Meanwhile, I trimmed the bungs covering the fiddle trim
fasteners (leaving the two in place next to the curved
trim for wedging). |
 |
Finally, after a couple hours' soak time, I bent and
wedged the slim cherry trim in place over the binnacle
mount. I used a piece of tape to help pull the
centermost section tightly into place. |
