Measure twice cut once

skip dry!!!
Or in my case measure six times cut and keep your fingers crossed! Have you seen the price of teak!
We've had a a good weather window, so have begun to install the new 'old' hatch. The old Atkins and Hoyle hatch and leaky surround have gone and we are now in the midst of building the new surround. This is pushing my woodworking skills again but so far so good.

Cutting the corner piece

Tomorrow I'll finish off prepping the hatch base and get that sanded and ready to bed down and bolt through the deck.

The main photo is a shot of the hatch set in place. The unvarnished piece is the base I've been working on.

In the mean time Nichola has been busy making new fender socks, of a new and patented design! More to follow on this.
