I knew a guy who worked on the buses... guess what he lined his cruiser out with?  It looked good if somewhat garish. The great thing about any kind of cloth like that is that while the Evo-Stick is still wet you can push it into nooks and crannies and it will stretch and shrink as required. 

 

You may remember that i was going to go with the usual camper carpet lining like this stuff, may go back it yet, i like the idea of a thicker material of foam backed to hide imperfections though now.

Our interior where not bare white grp is cream foam backed vinyl. 

Our seats are a blue fabric but that will shortly be replaced with brown leather as we fancy a change. It doesn't work out that expensive as there isn't a huge area to recover.

Hi Rach

I thought you recently recovered the seats, or was that just the deck seating, i forgot now.

I like leather but not in the boat, more after a material, feels warmer and cosier.

We had the exterior seating reupholstered this year. That was white vinyl it is now a charcoal coloured Silvertex material. The Silvertex is a great material, very easy to keep clean, stain resistant, waterproof, etc.

We will certainly have it again.

They do an interior range of Silvertex but we have not had a chance to look at it yet.

Good stuff that. 

 

If it looks good i may do the full cabin in it. Along the inner and outer edges i will be fitting corner and quad hardwood trim, that should help hold it in place as it is more for walls etc. The trim is also for visual effect.

  • 2 weeks later...

As i am sat chilling waiting for the T to be done by my wonderful wife T. I may aswell show what I have been doing, not all boat this time infact very little as i have been so busy getting a shopping list together for things needed. 

I had to change the the pulley on the table saw i got a few weeks back as it was going a tad fats, sounding like a 747 taking off. The blade was going at 7250rpm. I just removed the idler pulley and went straight from the motor which is 2450rpm to the spindle pulley, thus giving around 3250rpm, much better.

Anyhow once that was done i needed a mitre gauge for the table saw so i can get a few jobs done on the boat like the cabin step etc.

As the table saw is an owd one it is all imperial and i could only find metric ones or a few from the over the big pond in the states.

Like i do i made one.

I just got a length of 100x100x6mm ally and a length of 5/8 x 1/4 aluminium flat bar for the runner. A cheap protractor for the angles and a few SS nuts and bolts i already have. So in all only cost about £15.


First fitted the protractor to the ally angle.

Then trim back

I cut a short length of the slider bar so then i can fit a pointer on top made from the SS rule that was attached to the protractor.

The inner edge i ground down by .5mm so then it will act as a clamp, i still need to make a T bar instead of using a spanner to tighten it up.

And hey presto a new mitre gauge, i just needed to square it all up and fix down the protractor then pointer.

I tested it on a 45deg cut to see how square it would be for a frame.

Now that was done i got on with a few little but necessary bit on the boat. First of a few trims for the shelving in the galley. Started to make the cabinet for a cool box and storage. and measure up for lining material John ( member jfm ) has offered. A lot more than i expected to tell the truth, more Sqm than i expected.

This is as far as i got on the cupboard

Now as we know i am a bit looney and why brake a tradition, i was going to buy a set of finger pulls for the cupboards/doors but hell why not make some while i had a spare hour. which makes a change to have spare time. 

Back to the Iroko and table saw with bench drill. I had to rip down the 12mm thick Iroko i had to 8mm as 12mm is a bit thick for the finger pulls, just didnt look right.

So i just saved myself a tenner i reckon  :)

I have yet to glue them on, it was getting cold down to freezing so no point in rushing the glue.



I hope to have better updates in the next week or so as i have a few bits n bobs coming, tiles, heads sink, frame work for the heads and finish the cool box/cupboard.


Can i be the first to wish you all the very best for Christmas and New year :):)
