ZETA 24' Flybridge rebuild

[YachtMech]

Helm area finished with solid sapele and teak, and galley cabinet doors were assembled but not quite finished today, starting to add latches and hinges. Also decided to varnish the port side sapele plank along the dinette

Nice woodwork,gotta say I've seen better electrical work though.

First off, your work is amazing. It’s giving me far too many ideas We are also in the process of completely rebuilding a 24’ fly bridge zeta, only with the wide hull, and will be podded. Being that it’s currently stripped, we are also taking the opportunity to customize it. Where are you sourcing your solid teak from?Any insight you might have would be much appreciated!

What electrical work, so far I’ve only made helm spaghetti

That's what I was referring to,sick sense of humour.

I've been rewiring my boat for the last month, so it's on my mind.I can't believe how much time and money has gone into it and it's just a 17 Ft. boat.Wiring isn't my thing so there's been lots of "Youtube" viewing and questions asked to sort it out.

Lol wiring is very much my thing lol I’m one of those sickos that enjoys making wiring diagrams

Doors assembled, Cabinets getting trimmed, I used take apart hinges so the doors can be removed just by lifting up, this provides better access when you need to get to things like the inverter, stove fittings, sink fittings. Now lots of sanding and then varnish

todays ramblings, got the overhead electronics pod assembled and mounted, got the helm footplate made and mounted and finished trimming out the galley stowage. Then gave it all another coat of varnish

You do some fine wood work very nice corners and joinery my friend.

 

[YachtMech]

cabinet doors fully assembled and on, more varnish, just a minor day, the rain dampened my plans for the day.

Man have forums gotten that savage that they have now started forming gangs?? if so I can I join the Pro-flybridge gang? what do I have to do??

on a personal note, I see you paint spoons, I dabble in a bit of the lure making and carving myself, even a bit of large caving as well. maybe if we run into eachother one day we can swap some lures. pictures attached since I dont have an instagram for this lol

that greenling is outstanding

I carve them and give them as presents or sell them on etsy in my spare time. they are more for fun than making money, that one is the largest one I've finished so far at 16", but I'm working on a 36" long blue/gree Lingcod right now

Really looks awesome. Would be interested in seeing the ling and where to find on Etsy

you can find it by searching timberandtig on etsy, there are better pictues of it there but they dont do that rock greenling any justice since the gloss clearcoat makes it hard to take pictures. The lingcod wont be finished for a couple months as the boat is taking most of my spare time at the moment.

one small project checked off this evening, I had some leftover live edge curly walnut so I decided to cut it into planks and use it for the new breaker panel box, it will very slick once the new blue sea system panels arrive.

 

[YachtMech]

simple update, I was fairly busy today with other things, so I just got the inverter test fit and a couple access hatches cut out and trimmed, not too purdy but fair enough for an access hatch behind shelving, oh and I got the cabinet dividers in.

 

[YachtMech]

stay tuned for the walnut and white oak table

 

[YachtMech]

minor updates, lots of sanding and another coat of varnish on the floor and adding in small bit like supports, and wiring/controls conduit.
