It turned spotted. I hate painting that purty wood. Next time I'm gonna think it through. I coulda used pocket screws. Oh well, paint it is.
Lookit them flames in the wood I'm gonna have to paint over
Couple pointers on the Plastic hinge.
Use 1/8 bar Al. the 1/16 will DIMPLE!! Ask me how I know.
With the Plastic hinge the 3/8 in cut out for the hatch (for using the hurricane hinge) is too much. Think you could get by with 1/4 in cutout. I'm gonna have to epoxy a strip in place on the cutout or get really wide weather stripping. I think a 1/8" strip topped with 1/16" al angle would just do the trick.
Yeah, that 1/8" ply broke on the right bottom of the hatch. Gonna have to cut it all off or "Filet" the broken part with glass.
