In this week's episode of Onboard Lifestyle we knock out one more item off our "to-do" list on our custom 435 catamaran sv basik. We are getting so close to ...

welcome back to s we basic today I'm on

my lifestyle we will be getting supplies

to finish the door in the master head

can you guess where we're gonna get him

the marine store I'd like this store but

my dad loves this store

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

I am in the master head still working on

the store but we're about done door is

completely built and primered now it's

the fun part we need to get some paint

on this door we're gonna go with inter

luxe Brightside polyurethane in a grey

to match the rest of the doors on the

boat but before I do that I want to put

in my handset my handset goes right here

it's a Pirkle handset we also have to

put a doorstop on the jam I want to put

a dork edge down here to lock it in the

open position next thing I'll be doing

is moving this light switch outside the

door since now that when the door opens

it covers the light switch

these two light switches I'll just reuse

this switch now we'll handle under

counter lighting and this other switch

will be behind this pink door which is

our new shower so I'll have lighting in

the shower

I've got everything laid out here's my

electrical needs here's my door catch

here's the paint and the handset so

let's get to work before we get this

painted I want to get the hardware all

attached and mortise in so I'm gonna

start with the handset a standard

household door handset is 36 inches off

the ground these doors are scaled down a

little bit and throughout the boat I've

maintained a 33 inch rise on my handsets

this is just primer so I'm just gonna

sketch out right on the door

my offset for the first bar is inch and

3/16 and I need to find the center mark

of the door this one's a 9/16 s4 this is

a 3/4 inch floor going into that night

Accord is always fun there you go

Len can approve anyway

[Music]

next thing I'd like to do is pick all

this loose night of course pieces out of

here get them out

so the handset spins nicely in there

here we go get in there

under to a little ones left there we go

okay the next step is dry fit all the

pieces so I can mortise in the strike

plate looks clean make sure you get the

lock on the right side

I've marked out the plates for the

handsets now I will drill pilot holes

for the hardware to attach it okay the

next thing I need to do is Mount the

strike plate the best way to do that is

just close the door and kind of put it

right where needs to be reveal wise

everything looks good the center mark

just make it a little sketch right there

on your jamb

there's a lot of ways to get this

mortise tin some people just overlay it

right on there but I'm actually gonna

mortise it in so here's my Center mark

and I've made a center mark on this

here's how I like to mark up my screw

holes I'm actually gonna attach it on

the surface now with the screws that way

I can make a nice accurate cut with my

razor around this okay at this point

this is where you test it before you

more juice it in make sure all your

calculations are right and I'm looking

for the same reveal over here that's

over here it looks like I have nailed it

and after that don't forget to leave the

handset in with you did you get it up

and back out okay what's more that's the

sin okay this is a tough mortise right

here this is all finished paint over

glass I like do this at this stage

because if I do get a little chip out I

can still have time to repair this and

put a little paint on it but we'll see

how well we do I attach the strike plate

first so I could run a razor around the

perimeter of it

[Music]

a lot more accurate than doing a pencil

mark I will do a pencil mark though on

the inside here because I need to

mortise this out a little bit deeper

once I go around the perimeter two or

three times I'll remove this and start

chiseling okay I scored all the way

around this strike plate take this off

take a look at it at this point I want

to mortise in this because if I start

chiseling away and I'll lose my mark so

I'll do that next

[Music]

now just slowly chisel away this for a

nice sharp chisel it comes in handy just

take your time do not rush this give a

little test

that's pretty good

okay the strike is in the handsets in

see how this action works

clicks nicely but there's nothing that

can stop the door from going too far

forward so that's next I'll put the

doorstop in okay for the stop I just

ripped a piece of starboard lumber half

by half and then drill a hole every six

inches that's gonna fit right up against

the jamb and create a nice stop I

brought out the edges just get a nice

little eight inch round over so as

you're walking by and brushing against

it it doesn't snag it close okay I'll

just attach this door stops in this

puppy's not going anywhere who wants to

test this thing

it's what whatever okay try to I know it

works now trying to lock it I want to

see if the lock works lock it

the locked no yeah it is

okay now I'm lock it and whatever it's

good awesome our last door get in there

almost done couple more things not yet I

got the door catch to put on next I

don't need a catch

you need a catch I am your catch okay I

got a little project done

it's in raining all night early just

soaked but the Sun came out so where are

we going

and you're gonna carry him

[Applause]

[Music]

now that the door is in the hinge is set

handsets in strikes in and the door

stops in I mean the door is fully

functional but it's nice to be able to

lock in the open position I've done this

with every door on the boat so far what

I do is put a door catch on this one's a

little trickier I don't really have it

coming up against a wall and I need to

stand it off of this counter I I can't I

don't want to tilt it way over here

because I you have to be able to get

back to reach the door catch so I want

to keep this parallel with the counter

as close as I can so you have a nice way

to release the door catch that's why I

got an extended door catch but it's

still not quite far enough so what I'll

have to do is cut a little 3/4 spacer on

a starboard lumber a little standoff get

a little more distance on this here's

the other issue if I mount this on the

wall here it's a tripping hazard as

you're brushing your teeth so I'm

thinking of doing Tryon no I'm gonna do

it I'm gonna put the catch side on here

and actually mount it backwards there's

no way anybody stands next to it door

that close so it'll be out of the way

that's the plan I'll mock it up right

now see how functional it is see if I

like it I could always swap it back

what I did is cut out two blocks attach

them with a screw because not going to

shape them to match up all these faces

now I'll put a nice little round over on

this

[Music]

now that my standoff is done what I did

is going to melt this right here it's an

inch-and-a-half standoff brought it

around to the first flat I could get to

it said this radius and that gives me

plenty of fight on the door so make this

strong I broke it apart then applied two

fasteners already

now the next two fasteners are for the

hardware which are offsetting these and

going the opposite corners so I'll have

four fasteners tying it into the cabinet

I want this to be nice and strong

now just line this up marked it out and

I'm going to drill these all the way

through this into this as well with

extra-long fasteners then I'll give me a

total of five fasteners through this one

little block it's already feeling solid

I knew not to do that now it's just a

matter of driving these fasteners okay

let's see how this works now nice

now that all the hardware's on I'm gonna

break this door down strip it all the

hardware right back off and get the same

pain it

okay it's nice day no rain they're

calling for no rain for about eight or

ten days just a little bit of fog in the

morning should burn off here in about an

hour and they be sunny so I'm gonna get

this thing painted up first thing I do

is just run a piece of 220 over this

really lightly and just knock down any

burrs that might have been in the primer

it feels good but I'm still just gonna

lightly stuff this

okay the primer I used was interlocks

prime coat and now I'm going with a

deluxe bright side polyurethane Blue

Rock I do the whole thing with just a

weenie roller I don't back brush it or

anything I'll show you my little tech

make it here in a minute

sun's out enough I think it's time to go

it's important to really give the paint

a good shake before so I put it in my

automated shaker it works pretty good

just give any paint can to Emma for

about two minutes and it's thoroughly

mixed one thing I like to do before I

get started is these rollers some shed

some don't I found one that does real

well but I'd like to knock off any loose

fibers before I get started

seems to help just a little bit but

every little bit what you're trying to

get a smooth finish another thing I like

to do is always start out of eye level

so I'm gonna start at the bottom of this

door slab because if I'm gonna shed any

fibers gonna be right in the beginning

down here it's not right in your eye

level you don't to be looking at it

every time you open the door so by the

time I get up here the roll will be

rolling out nice and clean

trying to get just a nice even coat once

it start stacking up I back roll and

it'll knock down all the little bubbles

nothing's gonna take long at all

of this whole door takes me ten minutes

to paint then I'll come back in about

five minutes and knock it all down it's

warmer out I dock it down probably about

two minutes after

okay this is where I just just the

weight of the roller I just run it over

and keep working it till all the bubbles

are down I like doing this this way

don't get brushstrokes in your paint

it'll lay down nicely

okay it's starting to get there

I'm not doing this in a paint booth so

I'm gonna get a little bit of dust and

debris in it I won't be perfect but

it'll be pretty close

I am just putting ounces of pressure

that's it just letting this thing do its

job here

and that's how I tip with a roller

ok look at this starting to lay down

it'll just keep going to lay down a

little bit more here in the next hour

before I start stacking up I'm just

gonna let it be here's a little trick I

do every time I open a can of paint I

keep it in the fridge keeps it from

skimming over and you can keep it for

years this way does real well of course

it got a fight lid for the refrigerator

space but you got to do what I got to do

ok with the door drawing it's a good

chance for me to knock out the last

couple things to do here one of them

being remove this strike plate and Prime

and paint back in here the other thing

is take the electrical off of this

switch here I'm going to leave these two

switches the one switch right now

handles the overhead lighting all I'm

gonna do is remove the wires from here

these will be just to empty switches I

have a future use for these this one

will be lighting for this mysterious

pink door over here this will actually

be a shower right now this goes 15 feet

to the forward of the the bow of the

boat and I'm using it for storage and

epoxy room tools in there I just put a

piece of foam in there so we're not

heating and cooling that area the other

switch will be under counter lighting

just like the other head so today's

project will be mounting this new switch

to the outside here

so let's do some electrical okay first

thing I do is get this one out and

figure out where I could since this

walls only inch and a half thick these

little boxes have to mount in here go

mount this the other way so I have to

either mount it up above it on the other

side or on the side and I think this is

a little Oaks are going up the stairs so

I'm going about this right here so to do

that I'll take this out and plunge my

multi-tool through the wall and that'll

give me my starting point to lay out the

rest

okay next thing we'll do

let's just lay this out

[Music]

[Music]

the rest of this is gonna go real quick

first thing I do secure the box to the

wall here's my switch plate cover this

goes on next grab the wire these are

switch place I made I just took a little

piece of plastic drilled a 3/4 hole and

popped in switches

just fits in here loose now the plate

lineup your switches where you want them

and it holds it all in place and it's

that easy there we go okay it's all in

let's give it a test

oh yeah it's the upper one there we go

and it works next thing to do let's get

this thing back together I won't be

installing these lights Oh probably for

a couple months so what I'm gonna do to

remind me that the switches are in

activated it's not put the switches in

here are the switches that are going in

here

here's the plate I've laid it out

already I'll need to drill the holes and

just pop those in and I'll do that when

I wire it but for now there we go keep

it clean

[Music]

so most try feels good

doors ready to being reinstalled paint

is nice and dry it took four days to

paint one coat on each side flipping it

every day let's button this thing up

looks like we get to take another post

it off the wall

this one I love taking these off because

they bring us so much closer to cruising
