I finally got those under-deck ceiling panels varnished, insulated, and installed. It turned out pretty good!

I'm still trying to get estimates for repairs for the storm damage, but in the meantime I built a cabinet box for the salon. Chris Craft didn't bother building cabinet boxes for cabinets that opened to the hull. They just painted everything white. We want to see pretty wood inside, so I get to advance my cabinet making skills a bit. It's turning out pretty good.

I got the cabinet panels varnished and then glued up the box. It turned out pretty nice, if I do say so myself.

I decided I want to get rid of a bunch of useful-sized 1/8" mahogany plywood scraps. So I started cutting and fitting pieces inside the original Chris Craft cabinetry in the salon. Unfortunately, none of the OEM angles are 90°...but it's a boat, so I guess that's to be expected. It sure does add to the amount of time spent fitting panels. It's looking pretty good though.

You referring to the masterful arranging of the tape?

Rookie.
That's not tape. It's cardboard cabinet door latch hardware. :-)

I'm still trying to get estimates for repairs from the Nor'easter damage. But I'm on a roll with the cabinet interiors. I got all of the 1/8" mahogany veneer pieces cut and fitted to the galley cabinet, too.
