Title: Adding Drawers
Post by: S/V Deo Volente on December 07, 2015, 03:26:11 PM
The Pilothouse has a nice chart table, but it came with a flip down front for chart storage. Anything else, like parallel rulers, you put in there could easily get lost in the back. It wasn't too difficult to build a drawer using the flip down front as a drawer front. A T Track was installed as a guide and to keep the drawer from dropping when open.

Seeing the wasted area under the stove, I decided on another drawer. This time I had to make the front, so I carefully cut out the opening so the piece removed could become the drawer front. I found some mahogany to match the original for the edging and using two different hole saws made the finger pull. The drawer has a T track guide and needs to be lifted slightly to pull open.
