Project Log: Friday, November 30, 2012
From cherry stock, I milled a length of molding in the
desired profile for the two forward corners of the cabin
trunk in the forward cabin. The trim featured a
profile outwardly similar to the nearby trim at the
after corners, but much thinner in order to span the
obtuse angle of the forward corners.
After various test-fitting steps to fine-tune the angle
cuts at the top and bottom of the trim, I installed it
with glue. |
 |
To cover the edge of the overhead panels, I prepared
lengths of 1/4" thick cherry milled to complement the
design of the corner trims. Using scraps, I
determined the angled cuts required at each end, and
over a few test fits got the new trim to fit in place as
desired, after which I glued it in place. |
 |
The curved forward end of the cabin trunk would require
a similar length of trim, but the compound curvature
would probably require me to shape it from a wider
board, as the trim needed to accommodate not only the
curved shape of the cabin trunk, but also the camber of
the deck. In any event, I left this task for next
time. |
