ln Lhe galley, l was Lasked wlLh laylng ouL lamlnaLe floorlng. l had
Lo creaLe a dlagonal, sLaggered paLLern flL LlghL Lo Lhe Loe klcks of

ln Lhe salon of Lhe M83, l modlfled CnC cuL
wlndow surrounds Lo allgn and cover up Lhe wlndow
frlLs. 1hls requlred uslng rouLer LemplaLes Lo geL Lhe

1he maln area l worked ln on Lhe WesLporL 130 was Lhe
plloLhouse. l lnsLalled a couple of Lhe compuLer monlLors by
fabrlcaLlng cusLom alumlnum brackeLs, ln addlLlon Lo
lnsLalllng much of Lhe communlcaLlons and operaLlng
equlpmenL seen ln Lhe plcLures.

l lnsLalled all Lhe equlpmenL seen ln Lhe plcLure of Lhe radlo
console aL Lhe Lop lefL. l also developed [lgs for lnsLalllng Lhe
drawer pulls and door handles, whlch were used for cablneLry

1he planklng of Lhls sLalrcase was Lhe same as sLrlp planklng a
wooden boaL. 1hroughouL Lhe process, bevels had Lo be
deLermlned for each row of planklng, and boLh sLralghL and
rolllng bevels were cuL lnLo each sLrlp so LhaL Lhe pleces would
conform Lo Lhe curve. ln addlLlon, advanced clamplng
meLhods were used Lo assemble Lhe pleces.
!
Cnce Lhe lnner and ouLer pleces of Lhe sLalrcase were glued
up, l was Lhen asslgned Lhe Lask of surfaclng (falrlng) Lhe

aL whlch Lhey enLer Lhe rabbeL, beveled Lhe laps, and
cuL galns lnLo Lhe ends of Lhe planklng for a smooLh
LranslLlon from one plank Lo Lhe nexL. 1he planks were
sLeam benL and lnsLalled wlLh cllnch nalls.

l also paLLerned (splled) and lnsLalled Lwo frame
pleces on Lhe porL slde of Lhe hull. 1here was a
rolllng bevel cuL for Lhe ouLslde edge Lo repllcaLe Lhe
bevels of Lhe planklng. 1he lnner edges were scrlbed
and beveled for a LlghL flL agalnsL Lhe planklng.

1he rall on Lhe fronL of Lhe berLh ls made from Sapele. A

Cn Lhe klngsLon l paLLerned and lnsLalled a shuLLer plank, so l
was able Lo Lake bevels off of boLh Lhe planks above and below
Lhe one l was worklng on. 1he plank l worked on for lellclLy Ann
had a free edge, so based upon an already esLabllshed planklng
layouL, l had Lo esLlmaLe Lhe bevels LhaL needed Lo be cuL on Lhe
free edge slde of Lhe plank.

lor lnsLallaLlon, Lhe plank was sLeam benL and copper rlveLs
were used Lo aLLach lL Lo Lhe oak frames.

uue Lo Lhe amounL of curve on Lhls parL of Lhe hull, Lhe
plank l paLLerned for and lnsLalled had Lo be cuL ouL of Lwo
secLlons of planklng sLock, slnce Lhe sLock wasn'L wlde
enough Lo accommodaLe Lhe curve. 1o ad[usL for Lhls, Lhe
