| The
challenge for the above cabinet was that the boat was on
the west coast and the cabinet maker was in the Midwest.
It was not practical to travel to the boat for
measurements. The client was able to send
dimensions with a sketch showing the contour of the
inside of the hull. With those dimensions a
full scale plan was created to work from. The
design concept, finish dimensions, and material
choice was verified via E-mail. The cabinet construction is Lyptus
milled to a 5/8" thickness. The cabinet was shipped
with templates that represented the drawer fronts
and dry sink lid. After the client installed the
templates, measurements were verified from a reference
line on duplicate templates kept by Tulsa Cabinet Guy.
Bench hinges support the mahogany and teak dry sink lid.
The drawers travel on 100 pound stainless steel roller
bearing drawer glides. The toggle latches were created
by and installed by the client using scrap teak sent
along with the finished drawer fronts. For a clean look
a recess was carved into the drawer front to serve as a
drawer pull.
