[Public-List] Cockpit Coaming

[Bill Woodford via Public-List]

On US 11, it appears the coamings were also installed without bedding.  It
seems preferable to me; when cleaning, I can use the  hose and water (and
debris) runs freely.  I like your washer idea to create a small space.

Re: a joiner :
FYI - Harford County has a very nice woodshop with the full compliment of
equipment( including a joiner) .  It is located in Bel Air, see link
below.  For $ 100 a year, you have complete use of the shop.
