| Take four pieces of green oak, scratch your head for yonks trying to work out angles, overlaps and dovetails... |
 |
| Rough and ready. |
 |
| Two joints cut. |
 |
| The joints have been glued and a cutout routed to make room for the gas locker lid. |
 |
| The dovetail has been cut in the top block, this will take the top plank. |
 |
| The centre panel is made from oak floorboards which have had a groove cut down the centres to make them look half as wide as they are. |
 |
| The surround has been UV resistant powder dyed and then caoted with UV resistant stain mixed into chinese lacquer. |
 |
| The centre panel after a few coats of chinese lacquer. |
 |
| Before and after, the new cratch board fitted with the old rotten one on the pontoon. ;o) |
