You have seen a lot of our big projects, from the bulwark conversion to mast rebuild but what you don't really see is the little stuff that goes on, usually at the same time. We want to make sure our videos are valuable and also want to get projects done without the hassle of filming it all... but we are creators at heart and always end up filming at least part of the little projects so we have acquired a collection of little videos to share with you. Instead of making three short videos, we thought we would share four projects in one palatable 15 minute video! Check out what you will see:
0:00 - 5:57 Cabin Sole Refinish
5:58 - 10:24 Nonskid
10:25 - 12:18 Sewing Cushions and Stack Pack
12:19 - 14:00 Stateroom Shelf
14:01 - 15:00 Next on Sailing Avocet

I really like the behind the scenes of working on the smaller stuff. I worked on many Wooden Boars for years. Chris Craft Cabin Cruiser, 1938 Privately built Wilhoit 1938 old boat. Built first by a cabinet maker for his resort in Missouri. All mahogany.

How do you find the roll-tip method of awlgrip on large flat areas? That is one project on our to do list in the coming year to sand back and repaint/non-skid the decks and we’re debating on roll-tip vs spraying on areas such as cockpit and pilothouse to get a good finish. I’m also curious to hear how your cabin sole holds up with the awlwood finish over time.

Great video. Did you use the Awlwood Satin varnish after the primer? I am going to be redoing the floors in my 45 year old Alden 44 next spring and am still trying to pick a finish. There is too much to choose from....

the tracks that the hatch slided on can be removed once the turtle shell is off, then the hatch can be lifted off, tracks too.
