I traveled west to work on the boat mid-week. Friend Jim Sarna went with me to polish the hull sides. Jim does a remarkable job polishing the boat. I'd like to take credit for the way the boat looks, but it's all him. I just follow along and apply the paste wax. The result is a deep shine finish that looks like a new hull.
I also got my first up close look at the bottom after the paint has been stripped. It looks good. There's six coats of epoxy and paint that will be applied over the winter months.
Work on the cabinet continued to progress a bit. After getting all the pieces constructed, it was time for final trimming, sanding and finishing.
I used a flush trim bit to trim the top edging back to the laminate surface. I use an auxiliary surface clamped to the top to give me a support for the router operation.
Then rout an 1/8" round over to break the edge.
With all the parts trimmed and sanded, it's time for staining and some urethane.
A couple more coats of urethane, and it will be time for final assembly of the drawers and top.
