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.
If it's not broken, you're not trying hard enough.
