Galley Cabinet for the Boat

very smart work..I don’t own a boat, but I’m sure if I did and decided to poke some sorta hole in it,, it would be some special place where the Atlantic ocean will rush right in. nice cabinet…

Good job Bob looks cool.

I am curious about how much you paid for the teak ??

-- rob

Socal… I had enough “scrap” teak in my workshop so that my only expense were the rivets and the rivet tool from McMaster-Carr, which is a fantastic company to due business with.

Thanks Bob . I am getting into the teak business and presently writing a plan up—

Excellent work!

Bob, what kind of sailboat is that on? I have a Baba 40 here on Pudjet Sound.

-- Life is to short to own an ugly boat.

Looks factory to me. I second Pete’s question (BTW, Bob Perry’s Baba 40’s rock!). We have friends with boats in Shilshole. Can’t go wrong with West Systems…

-- You can't control the wind, but you can trim your sails

Well done.

Pete Jud… My wife and I sail a Cape Dory 30, hull #335 on the Chesapeake Bay.

Thanks!

I don’t own a boat. But if I did, I don’t think I would eat “Chunky” soup and beans while sailing.
Very nice cabinet however.

Woodeye, It sounds like you have never been on the anchor, at anchor, on a cold, wet afternoon or evening. Nothing will warm you like a good bowl of soup!

Very beautiful cabinet, ATTA BOY AAAAA ++++++

-- Mark, Katy, Texas, Did they give Noah a hardtime about the wood boat in his driveway

Can you please clarify for me…did you build the cabinet carcass and the louvered door with matching frame in your shop?

-- rob

Socal, no secrets here. The door came from West Marine. I could not make it for what their price was. My wife and I designed the cabinet, including the shelf locations. If I had it to do again, I would make a change or two, but who can’t say that about some projects?

Thanks for you inquiry.

Bob, was that door one of those kits? I’ve seen them and wondered about how they went together. Yours looks very nice.

-- Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can walk.

Dave R, I would not call it a kit exactly. The door was assembled. I built the case and added the hinges and the catch. Plus figuring-out the corner re-inforcements and the anchoring method was very important! Thank goodness for West System Epoxy and the threaded rivets I discussed previously.

Thanks,
CB

Ok. I’ve seen a kit that is designed so the parts are all there and you can trim them to make the door whatever size you want.

Bob thanks for answering my inquiry. Have a safe time on your boat-
