Very nice Jerry. I like the pockets for the plates and silverware. If I can make a suggestion, how about a little scroll-saw cut vent in the under the sink cabinet door? Maybe a cutout of an anchor or a compass rose. I love little details like that.

Well Ben, I might just have to give that a shot. I have a scroll saw that has been sitting idle for some time. I may need to clean it up and give your idea a go. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well, same as always, Jerry, outstanding job! You have such a good eye for this stuff. Very discriminating in the very best way. Have I missed something here? Have you done a rebuild on a boat before? Maybe as a profession???

I had wanted to put a solid surface counter top in but was told it is too heavy. Granted, you have about one-fifth the counter top in your photo above but still... How much weight do you have in that one piece there? I'd like to reconsider solid surface in the galley!

Hey Tony

Thanks for the complements and no I have never done a boat rebuild before. A lot of this is new to me.

You have picked up on the one drawback to the corian counter top. It is heavy. This piece is 1/4" thick and it tips the scale at 5 Lbs. Most Corian countertops use 1/2" thick material but that is a lot more added weight for no added benefit on a boat.
