Project Log: Wednesday, December 31, 2014
First off, I installed four (two per door) door catches
on the locker doors, screwing them into the doors and
the newly-installed backing blocks as needed.

 |
To finish off the corners in the forward hatch coaming,
where the curved hatch extrusion and the square coaming
met, I prepared some angled pieces of solid wood of
appropriate size to fit in the corner and available
space. To finish off the bottom edges of these
little pieces, I cut them at a 45° angle on the bottom
edge, allowing them to die out into the corner before
reaching the bottom of the coaming. I secured the
corners with glue and brads. |
 |
I removed all the new trim from the forward cabin
overhead, labeling each piece as I did so, the brought
them down to the shop for final edge milling
(roundover), sanding clean and smooth, and finishing
with a coat of tung oil. I'd apply additional
coats of the oil over the next few days as time allowed. |
 |
Once I'd removed the trim from around the hatch coaming,
I applied a coat of primer to the wood, including the
lower edge even though this would be covered with the
trim again soon. |
