KeithAug Posted Thursday at 06:41 PM Author #973 Posted Thursday at 06:41 PM (edited) Thank you Pat. I am moving along with the owners cabin. There is a nice little dressing table between the lockers on the forward bulkhead. I started with the top / draws milled form a solid piece of mahogany. The legs have a bit of brass work. The base is likewise milled from solid. the handles are brass pin heads. I needed door handles. I had some 0.1" brass balls but these need to be drilled to take a shaft. I put piece of brass in the lathe and centre drilled it to form a cone. The balls were glued into the cone and then drilled with a .040" drill. I then got on with the rest of the panels. The bed has various draws. And there are cupboards on the starboard wall. The bed has a quilt but I am simplifying it. I keep reminding myself that most to this will be hidden below deck with only a very small skylight for viewing. I made a mould and cast the quilt in plaster. I now have most of the bits I need so assembly staring tomorrow.

wefalck Posted Thursday at 07:05 PM #974 Posted Thursday at 07:05 PM Nice cabinet-maker's work 👍🏻 I gather you milled the mould from some plastic cutting-board? Gives me some ideas, as in a future project I would need some deep-buttoned cushions ... BANYAN, druxey, KeithAug and 1 other 4 wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux

Eberhard Yes - an old kitchen cutting board, nice and flexible to ease extraction. Fabric mesh embedded in the paster to prevent breakage while extracting. The board was cut with a ball nose end mill.

yvesvidal Posted 23 hours ago #979 Posted 23 hours ago We haven't seen the hull in a while, but I believe it requires another coat of clear 🙂 Just kidding of course. I would not touch it at that stage. Yves KeithAug and Keith Black 1 1
