    Looks good Jack. The tape on the bulkhead edges is a good idea, this should help with the removal and also a lot less glue clean up

    Hello all just a small update, Thanks to all for stopping in, for your likes and great comments.
     I finally got the courage up to cut all the holes in the deck and I must say all went good, and I also finished up my ships wheel.
     Not much to be said the pictures say it all. the cuts were made with a 1 mm end mill bit then finished with a file.
     The very first picture shows the outline for the aft hatch which I spent considerable time measuring, marking and double checking..............even though it was perfectly square and centred I had to erase all of it as this is the bow     . Things got better after this, glad I didn't start to cut. The deck has one coat of poly now on it and will get two or three more
    Enjoy

    Hey E.J. Thanks for stopping in. I was surprised how good it all went and was very happy there were no extra holes that needed to be cut.

    Thanks Ian, the suppers were fun. One has to be careful as the little tabs in between the suppers are very fragile.

    Hello all just a small update, Thanks to all for stopping in, for your likes and great comments.
     I finally got the courage up to cut all the holes in the deck and I must say all went good, and I also finished up my ships wheel.
     Not much to be said the pictures say it all. the cuts were made with a 1 mm end mill bit then finished with a file.
     The very first picture shows the outline for the aft hatch which I spent considerable time measuring, marking and double checking..............even though it was perfectly square and centred I had to erase all of it as this is the bow     . Things got better after this, glad I didn't start to cut. The deck has one coat of poly now on it and will get two or three more
    Enjoy
