The box is almost complete. I was using spare or scrap wood from my garage and ran out of some of the corner trim which was annoying. And yes, the one handle is slightly angled! Nough said really. I am not a craftsman.
There is some final sanding to do and some interior decorators caulking to put in - a trick I learned from a buddy who is a decorator by profession. It helps seal all joins and can be painted over. Marvellous stuff!
Then undercoat and top coat and the box will be finished. I'm hoping to do some Kingsbridge estuary cruising in early march when tides will be early morning and evening springs and there will just about be sufficient daylight to set up and pack away. At least that is the theory.
Dimensions wise it is 380 mm long, 330 mm wide and 300 mm high and
that gives a surprising amount of internal space.

On the bench ready for final sanding and then painting
One can NEVER have enough clamps
Now just got to return them to the wall mounted boards in the correct order because I'm OCD about things like that........
"Every tool should have its proper place allocated".
How many times have I had that ringing in my ears? The curse of having a father and a father in law who were both engineers!
