The upholstery work has begun.
Finally putting that sailrite machine to good use.
First was cutting out the top and boxing(sides).
Then making the piping cover.
I had seen a YouTube video where the gal had seen the cover on the piping at the same time she had seen the top to the piping. Looked easy enough.
It was.
Then see boxing on.
Not horrible hard to do.
It appears I forgot to take a picture of the zipper going in the bottom.
So there it is. First piece is in the v-berth. Turns out the supersoft does not push the cover as tight as one would wish. But it will be very comfy to sleep on. I start on the other v-berth cushion tomorrow. Then on to the settee. Then I have two cabinets and a comfy chair to build and upholster.
A table to build and whatever seat goes on the other side of the table.
Picked up the solid brass knobs for all the drawers and doors.
They are solid brass.
The wood is staying in the v-berth. As I get time, the bulkheads (walls) in the salon will get 1/4 inch foam under a white vinyl. Complete with covered buttons to match. It will insulate and brighten.
It took a while to figure out exactly how I wanted to do it. But now it is work time. I am good at this part. It will not look like anyone elses boat.
I hope to be doing the dodger and Bimini very soon. The sailbags are not in bad shape. Will give them new zippers and straighten them up for now. I just will not have the time to do it all. I am heading to the Chesapeake bay as soon as I am laid off next July.
