Mary K - Yup a Lil Dance was in order.. :lol: :lol: Them lil drawers my wife brought home, from Sveeeedish Hell... :D in otherwards Ikea. Nice Birch Ply is the material so she wanted to try them out..They do need varnishing though. And maybe some Mahogany stain on the sides.. :thinking: :thinking:

Im working on the cooler slide drawer right now...

But slow turtle progress.. :) :)

Here are a couple of more photos...The top shelf or counter still needs the front to be rounded as the main counter is.. and varnished...

Thank You Auntie M..Wife has some good ideas.. ;) :thumbsup:
Maybe some stain on them yet will make them blend in better too..

PS The slides were for installing vertically as mentioned.. Im working at it at the moment..

Im having a bad time to see where the slide out stove table will go now though.. kind of would like to see it fit somewheres but where?? :(

Does someone have an idea what I could do.. It sure would be a shame to leave it out...here is a pic..

Image

Do you think we should cut the doors down a lil and then install the slide out stove table????????? :thinking: :thinking:

Oh that is not the stove we have..

Hi Scott, thanks for stoppin by.. :lol: :lol: I did the hatch for the 2nd time... :oops: :oops: :roll: :crazy: I thought the 1st one was good but ...Boy did I prove myself wrong...

Im glad I built the 2nd time and thought things out more.. also what I did was laminate 2 - 1.5 millimeter Birch Ply together .. installing the 1st and then adding the 2nd.. so it was more work than I really wanted but.. it went around the curves real nicely..

Some sanding yet to do and then the Marine Varnish as this year we wont do much else to it... besides the skin of course ...

Starting to look like a tear now though..Finally.. ;)
