There will be two benches in the shop, one on each side of the hull. These have a tough gray paint inside that should hold up pretty well to a lot of abuse.
Building the face and side. Cleats were made first and installed along the floor and against the forward bulk head.

The three large hydraulic hoses running under the bench will eventually be re-routed using the access next to the bulkhead.
After the initial fitting, the whole thing was taken apart and painted before the final instillation.
The area in the foredeck that needed a welding repair is finished. The welder did a wonderful job and it was such a load off our shoulders to have this repaired! Now we will be able to finish insulating the overhead in the work shop.
Welding repair completed inside and out!

The forward stateroom is slowly coming along. The large
dresser area that is along the starboard side is now cleaned and ready
for storage use. Several of the drawers are now holding spare bulbs,
light fixtures, batteries, etc...
This cleaned up really well
Now used for storage
