I'm building cedar-slat bunk flats for gear storage and to use as a sleeping surface. I need some ledgers along the hull sides to support them, and here they are being installed, with lots of little sticks and pads to get them level and flat as the glue sets.
All set. With the easy access I have now, I'm also working on getting the slats cut to the hull side.
The other biggie is the compression post, which will look something like the pic above.
I've made the cap shroud lever and the wedge-shaped sleeve that it will pivot in, and now the post itself is getting laminated. I'm using some braided sleeve, a bunch of uni, and some biax around the cutouts for the pivot wedge. I didn't bother to vacuum this part- just milked the outer layer of sleeve pretty aggressively, applied some strips of peel ply, then wrapped in cling film packaging wrap. I don't need this part to be super light, and white eps foam won't resist more then a little vacuum pressure anyway.
Edit to add pics of the finished bunks, and the layup of the flange for the bottom of the compression post.
