Front Door & Hinges

I got the door hinges, deadbolt and doorknob mounted in the front. I had no mortise hinges, but after seeing a build by Greg Wheeler, I decided to opt for marine strap hinges.

I order the brass hinges from Seadog Line. It works as smooth as Greg's. The hinges are 4" x 1 1/16" and use #8 screws.

I got pictures of the hinges in place but did not take any shots of the doorknob or the lock. I used a standard combination what others have used. I'll get some pictures up of all that soon.

The door lock and knob are from screen door hardware. I also installed the mermaid handles.

Plinthes finished and installed!

 On the "wet coast" haven't seen much wet... So got a little progress done, as much as I can anyways.

Most of the main centre roof supports are in, they are carved with west coast themes.

On Port, the humpback whale, starfish, and eagle/Seahawk catching a salmon.

On starboard, the great heron, spirit bear, and harbour seal.

They are double sided hand-carvings except for the aft.. as it is up against the bulkhead on starboard, and what will be a storage cupboard on Port.

I didn't do the carvings myself, but relied on my significant other, Karen McMahon who is a fine-arts graduate.

My role was limited to cutting shapes and finishing tasks.
