Here is the progress on the drain plugs. I went ahead and epoxied them in now, instead of messing with them later. I used the tool to shape them (forgot the name... it's late), and also used that to hold them in place as I epoxied them into the boat. The drain tube is within a 16th of an inch or so of the floor. I started with a block that made the thickness of the hull and the block the exact same thickness of the brass tube, and then I added a 3/4 piece of mahogany shaped to hold the brass handle. I made it slanted just for fun, after discussing it with my son. He thought it would look cool. I like how they turned out. Next up I will finish other side, it is almost done. Then I will proceed hopefully with some more painting of the lockers.

I really like the way that turned out too!

Thanks guys! I am getting ready to post some more pics of both plates. They came together very well I believe.

Here is the progress of the plates. You can see the finger slot for opening the handle. Works like a champ.

I keep running out of woodworking stuff to do and finding myself needing to mess with epoxy. I prefer the woodworking over the epoxy. :?

Those plates look familiar 8) You will like them. Nothing to catch a toe or anything else.

Very cool, I really like those. I'm experienced wood worker at all but, like you, enjoy fooling with the wood more than the epoxy.

Yep Cape Man gets full credit. I saved his pic on my thread months ago to not forget his genius skills.

There's a 1" PVC coupling that goes through the hull, all epoxied in.
Looking really good. I may be dumb but what's the idea behind the box and scupper thing? I'm still trying to decide on a way to do my scuppers through my hull and am interested in that design. I assume it's probably just so you can plug it and have somewhere for the plug when it's plugged in?

Thanks guys! Credit to Cape Man. The only tweak I made was setting it at a slight angle for fun.
