I’m cutting lots of little panels to fit between the overhead frames in the aft stateroom so the Whisper Walls headliner track will have something to attach to around the perimeter.
Time to use this 3/4″ okume plywood scrap
There’s always that question about whether or not to keep a plywood scrap. This particular one has been in my way for three years, but I’m glad I kept it.
That should be just enough
Some panels are square on both ends and easy to fit
Others are more complicated
The little rabbet I had to cut there was necessary to clear a screw head sticking out from the overhead frame.
Aluminum framing gets in the way, too
You can just see a corner of the aluminum frame that attaches the wooden overhead frame to the hull.
This one required a deep rabbet
Looking good!
Three down, seven to go
The corner is a bit challenging
There’s not much to attach to here.
There’s just enough of a lip on the board to the left
On the right side…it’s complex
That ought to do it
Not bad
Nice, tight joint
Halfway done
