Galley pole - check! (Patreon)

Hi guys!

It's been a super fun week aboard Athena! I'm still not good at it, but I'm starting to like working with metal. So much in fact that I've started thinking about what to make out of stainless next. This week I made the pole for the galley. I think maybe next week (if the stainless gets here on time), I might be able to build the support for the cabin sole (over the keel). Since finishing the video, I've found out that I can use a plastic tank (rather than building an aluminum one) that's going to protrude a little up into the kitchen island. I'll see if I can upload a pic of my mockup :) Anywho that plastic tank needs to sit securely in a frame of stainless steel that'll also support part of the cabin sole and secure the kitchen island. With the diesel tank in place, I'd be able to cover the area over the keel finally. That would be amazing! 

So next week, I'll be focusing on the diesel tank and the generator. I also hope to get the last of the old portlights glassed over. All except one is leaking, and I think it's smart to replace the old ones with new portlight that are easy to get all over the world in case we manage to damage one. 

I hope you're all staying safe and are doing as well as is possible during these most unusual times. As always thank you so much for your support :) 

NB. please note that that the video here on patreon does not have the baked-in ad for Audible :)
