Project Log: Tuesday, December 9, 2014
Though I'd completed the trim on the pilothouse overhead
long ago, and the overhead panels had been in the main
cabin for just as long, the main cabin and forward cabin
still needed the trim to cover seams in the overhead
panels and screw locations. I started with the main
cabin and passageway.

 |
Over the course of the day, I cut and fitted the various
trim pieces in these two areas, starting with the
centerline seam and then working my way through the
transverse pieces on each side as needed. I
installed the trim with screws and finish washers into
the plywood overhead and the framing members beyond. |

Because of the way the trim met the centerline strip,
and the bulkheads fore and aft, I'd not pre-milled the
rounded edge detail on the planks, as certain areas
needed to remain square so I marked the joints for
reference, and made other marks as needed to indicate
these and other areas. Soon I'd remove the trim,
label each piece, and mill the edges before sanding and
finishing, but for the moment I left things in place.
I ran out of time before I could trim out the base of
the companionway opening, which required some trim to
cover the edge of the overhead, the ends of the other
trim pieces, and the screw locations around the opening
itself. I'd get to this, as well as the overhead
hatch trims, in the near future. |
