A Skiff Wind blows over the water-An account of my winter project to build my first wooden boat, a 13' plywood QT Skiff designed by Jim Michalak. Now that that boat has been launched and is in use, this blog will now also document all of my other boat building and general "MESSING ABOUT IN BOATS"

Nav table cabinet
Well today I got the basic cabinet installed, well, put in place or dry fit. I am pretty happy with the result, but for the problem of the stain on the wood not matching the rest. I may end up having to start over with these two pieces, but if I do at least I can use these as templates.
I wasn't planning on putting doors on this cabinet, but I may yet. The doors would affect the clearance of the lifting desk lid to some degree. It is something I don't need to worry about right now.
It is very satisfying to see at least a little progress every few days. We haven't even hit winter yet (9 days til the solstice!) and even so I feel as though so much has gotten done. The interior of the boat feels as if new and has really change the character of the boat down below. It also has made the boat feel more mine, or more of a reflection of me.
