Having varnished the port cabinside, we have moved onto the dresser. Unfortunately much of the existing varnish was tired and cracking so we have had to strip it back to bare wood. Cue lots of dust, sweat and swearing. Remember, we're still living in this cabin.
Psyching up to put first coat of varnish on - mmmm, solvent. Should have vivid dreams tonight!
 |
| Trim missing on the corner, and things generally a bit of a mess, due to previous removal of the companionway stairs when the starboard berth was converted to a double but the woodwork was never quite finished off. |
 |
| Gluing in a piece to fill a hole in the dresser top. Something went through here, probably to do with the old companionway up through the hatch. |
 |
| Corner trim gluing in place and stripping of old varnish under way. |
 |
| Ready for final sand. The varnish below the dresser top is relatively new and in good condition, so we will just fine sand, touch up, and apply a couple of fresh coats. |
 |
| Test fitting new teak trim for mizzen mast, yet to be fully shaped. |
 |
| While in woodwork mode I've started making up other pieices that have been missing. This is in the nav table, I think a drawer was supposed to go in here but all the cables up to the nav station were run through the cavity instead. I intend to install some USB charger points in here, since we always seem to have at least half a dozen devices on charge. |
