After much deliberating I’m going to try to make my worktops look like quality shiny granite which I’ve never done and never seen done on a boat before #epoxy #granite #resin
Mate I’m stoked to see the sink finally. Looks great. Looking forward to the install. Thanks for the fireworks. Leave the edge of the sink showing, it looks amazing.
James. The sink has to be drop-in mounted. If you set it flush or under-mount, water will get into the seam around the sink. Wood & water do not mix. Dropping in the countertop opening allows also for you to use a gasket alongside a silicone sealant. This has the dual benefits of a thermal break between the steel and the wood and also vibration. The galley is really coming together nicely keep up the good work!
@@weerwolfproductions I’m aware. The water will flow down between the sink rim and the countertop and just sit there. Not just water but soap suds and grease and anything else that comes in contact with the rim of the sink. That will lead to a buildup of serious muck around the rim of the sink. The best way to do it is to hang it from the countertop from above with proper plumbers putty and gasket if available.
Never thought I would get soo excited about someone else’s worktops and sink, but there you go 😂 It looks amazing James! What a fantastic job you are doing. You’ve got this 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🥰
Its going to be a stunning galley, James. I'm really interested in seeing how your epoxy works out! The curves really add to your look. All the best from Missouri.
Its 23:15pm and I was just aboout to close down. Up pops a Young James RU-vid post and,,,,,,,,,,,,,Oh Dear that means I need to pop to the kitchen and pour another "VERY LARGE" one. Such is Life 😂😂😂
The first cut is the deepest, James. I like the way this is going. I've seen some very impressive worktops here on RU-vid, but it's tricky to get right, apparently. Good luck. 👍
Looks good James. Only thing I can see is that with a square bottom sink, you might find it doesn't fully empty depending on how the boat is laying in the water. You may end up with some sink water staying in the sink instead of going down the plug hole? I'm sure it will look amazing though, sloe certainly does 👌🍺
I'd resin seal the underneath of the ply just to be sure when you are talking worktops, water and boats. I know resin not cheap but peace of mind and all that. One coat should do - it will soak into the ply - it could even be polyester and not epoxy.
The galley is starting to look really nice, even before you've put the resin on the counter tops. Not sure if you've had the thought patern, but, you could route out were the lip of the sink fits to still have the full lip showing but have it flush with the work top. Just an idea like 😉
THAT is looking bloody smart, James, careful you don't get to doing this as a job! Travelling boat outfitter/designer! I would think if you put the sink under the worktop you're going to have a dirt trap under the resulting lip? Glad you went with that, I think you made the right choice for the reason aforementioned.
looking excellent ! im watching and enjoying your process of working out what you want and how to do it.( hoping to be on a fixer upper myself later in the year )
So much easier to make those straight cuts with a track saw, isn't it? Do you have any flush trim bits for your router? That way you don't have to worry about cutting two layers perfectly to match, just use one as a template.
If I heard correctly (likely not), that you'll have lighting under the worktop edges so light washes down the cabinet faces, but are you also planning to place lighting under the gunnels and/or toe kicks? ;-) I'm still a bit curious how you'll access the dishwasher soap dispenser tray? Oh, you just indicated, you'll have a splash board behind the sink so I'm guessing you'll also have one on the other worktop so there will be no lighting under the gunnels, assuming you don't come up with an ingenious alternative (you've done so before)?
