On the forward frames, the joining angle again was halved to make for consistent height. On the starboard side I messed up by somehow cutting it too short. I joined the two pieces back together  with glue and dowels. It almost looks perfect. Not noticeable is the important thing.

A good carpenter isn't one who doesn't make mistakes, it's one who can hide his ( or her ) mistakes! I remember that from years ago when I was just a kid. My parents had a friend, we called uncle Tony, who was a carpenter. I always had great respect for a good carpenter, but that places more owness on those of us who are not, hehe.

The photo to the right shows a nice edge in the entryway to the head. The whole 3/4" frame has been sunk in to fit over the cockpit support frame and to overlap the panel and plywood.

The drawing left shows the frame from above. The inner edges where the cupboard sliding doors will be were left sharp as they will likely have a track or door frame of some sort. It was a very tight fit which is good! Some screws into the angle and glue hold everything on.

Mirrors are ok as long as they are glued solidly on the back to plywood. If it ever broke it would be a bugger to remove, but at least the glass stays put!

The finished frame looks really nice we think -and it's not even coated yet! The corner which is along the entry companionway has been rounded as well. I bumped into it and a 3/4" round is easy on the body.

The router table is useful but somewhat of a pain to adjust down to change bits. It's a slow process and a little frustrating. Too bad the shafts on bits aren't a bit longer. After a while the sawdust and cuttings just pile up deep! I must resist the temptation to make Yule-logs!!
