[Rhodes22-list] Galley counter top question

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Chuy: 
The "bulkhead" is actually just a divider that goes from the base to the
cabin top. The base was attached with brass angle brackets and the top is
attached to strips of teal (about 1" x 1") that is in turn attached to the
cabin top with screws. The inside edge roughly follows the shape of the hull
but is not attached. I made the divider out of 1/2" plywood with a teak
strip on the edge that faces outwards. Both sides were then covered with
white Formica and then the edge was routed with a small rollover bit set so
that the Formica is cut back to expose some teak and the teak edge is
rounded. I did this routing on both sides so I needed to set up the router
bit depth to ensure that the roller had a flat edge to guide it on both
sides. If you round off too much on one side the second side will not have a
flat edge for the guide and the cutback will not be balanced. The 1/2" ply
becomes very rigid when sandwiched between the Formica laminate. The other
advantage of the Formica over paint is that it gives a perfectly smooth and
durable finish.
I have attached a rather poor picture  of a shelf part I made using this
method in case my explanation is confusing,

Graham does you new bulkhead go from the floor to the very top of the boat.
Great idea by the way.  How did you support the bulkhead?

Thanks,
Chuy
