25th June 2010

Spent the evening on the boat, sorting out the new window in the bathroom.  I remember the last time I attempted something like this and it didn't end well. So this time I picked up some hardboard from B&Q on the way to the boat.  I used it to create a template from the otherside of the boat, I took the glass out of the window and pressed the hardboard up against the cutout and drew round it, then carefully cut it out.

I then cut the hole slightly smaller than the pencil line and the sanded it to the correct size, quick run round with a router with a round over bit and hey presto.

I had some spare 8" x 1" hardwood so I used it to create the supports for the glass and also the liner for the window, photos of those will follow tomorrow.

All in all I'm pleased with what I have achieved this evening, especially as I wasn't in the right frame of mind.
