BUILDING STEP 11 | ||
Main sheer moldings &
windows.
The main sheer moldings are made from 4 oak wood battens each, scarfed together. |
||
The line for the moldings is given in the plans, but first I had to cut the hols for the windows. Maybe I will cover the window edges with thin hardwood battens. The glas will be screwed from inside in a bed of sealant | ||
For the window in bulkhead "A" I have made a frame from teak wood, sitting inside the plywood. (I've found 3 teak planks, 30cm x 6cm x 2m on the bulky waste in the street last year, a stroke of luck!) | ||
The window construction will be as simple as possible. I hope it will do the job stisfactory. |
