Greetings chaps 
As you know, I've been working my last professional job part time as I also have a part time job due to circumstances and a new career change in the making - explained in this thread; viewtopic.php?f=30&t=3411
This long'ish post is all the woodwork almost complete in the workshop and almost ready for installation, which I shall update once installed within the next week or so.
The last photo in a previous thread (some weeks ago!) was all the structural work pretty much finished excluding the door as thus;
Now on with the door.
This door was quite tricky and the best way to make it was in stages; marking, cutting, assembling, offering it into its opening and so on... It consists of splays in various directions, bends, bows, scribes etc - only the rear panel has parallel sides and even these are splayed.
Here it is laying on its back on a stool bench.
Standing on its head.
The plinth just about showing a small section of the overall curvature of the plinth.
And of the hull's base plank - not sure of the correct terminology in boat building terms.
Here is the door in situ viewed from inside the bar.
And from the public's view of the bar.
With the door now ready to hang, here are a couple of photos showing the 4" brass butts now housed and firmly fitted to this heavy door.
The side wall showing the hinge housings cut out by hand. I've also housed the hinge's knuckles into the wall as well.
Door now successfully hung with a few tweaks to do a bit later - now done.
Opening in stages...
With the door now swinging, the next stage was making/fitting the clinker planks. I've used 12.5mm birch plywood and as the maximum lengths from the sheet of ply was not going exceed 2.4M, I could only make from bow to the bar door instead of one continuous plank from bow-to-stern. Although no probs... but it would have been easier as one continuous plank per tier.
In order to achieve the horizontal sweep of the planks, I cut each plank at a width/depth of approximately 250mm allowing for a 112mm plank including the rebate. Here is the first plank clamped to the frames ready for marking.
This is my marking gauge which I used as a guide throughout the planking.
And now I have a pencil line to cut to using the jigsaw.
With the first plank's lower edge cut, I offered it on to the frames to check for any adjustments.
With the lower edge good, I then marked parallel for the upper edge and fitted this plank to the frames. Before the final fit, I fine sanded each plank by hand to a 400g.
At this stage, I made a template for the inner line of the bow and marked the first plank before starting plank #2.
Now on with plank #2...
Same as #1, clamped it on to the frames and marked the lower edge ready for cutting.
This photo is actually working on #3 plank - not sure what happened to plank #2 photo, but same principle anyway.
The lower edges from here on are rebated over the top edges of the planks below, so #2 is now rebated ready for a trial fit.
The mock up...
After #2 was fitted, I started to make progress with the others...
This photo shows the door closed with some tweaking required to the lower edges of the planks.
Although each plank is firmly fastened with screws at the top edge which are hidden by the rebates, I still needed to fasten the lower edges and for this, I used copper roofing nails pilot holed. These have worked out so well with fixing and appearance, and before the work is varnished, I shall fine sand each nail head again.
The base rail still needs some finer work with shaping, which I shall do in situ when I make & fit the bow section.
The stern is now separated and rudder is made. The hatch is finished and I just have to finish off the bow which should be tomorrow. All going well, I can upload the final photos of the woodwork complete tomorrow or Tuesday evening. Installation is scheduled for Wednesday & Thursday.
Cheers,
