Ira and others .... Dont ever feel bad about going back redoing things on your build... your definitely not alone :oops:

... Well I now have completed the spars for the new and revised Galley Hatch. Now they look more professionally done.. I still need to sand and varnish them ... but its too cold to work outside so the Remodeled Hatch will be built in the house.... and with the wifes approval... :twisted:

PS Do folks here still love photos.

ho boy. Maybe I should do my cross members like that.

Looks like a lot of extra cutting.

You will get it and it will be fantastic.

Very nice work. You sure you're not building an airplane? That ought to make a very firm frame with the notch work. :thumbsup:

I prefer the worn out, dirty carpets in my living room over nice persian rugs. I find that ambiance causes any remaining inhibitions to go, and my creativity soars!!!

:thinking:

Im hoping that it will work this time as it is supposed to...I dont have permission to build on the rug though.. and not to build in the living room. :lol:

It does look like a part of a wing though dont it...

Top and Bottom part of the Hatch will be oak instead of ply...Im laminating the last rib where the hinge will go with 2 oak strips going across.. should be strong enough...
