Today I'm doing more Finishes and Finishing, this time on the inside of the camper. Some real pretty stuff starts to show off.
Here is the smaller of the two galley window screen frames. Notice the mounting holes are four, one in the middle of every side.
We had talked about mimicking the same brass upholstery washer with black construction screw, as we've used elsewhere in the camper (an original feature in some spots, by the way, using silver screws and washers). Where we've done that, we have put the screws about 5-6" apart for the visual, and I was intending to do the same on these screen frames.
But I felt that treatment was too bulky for the narrow band we are working with on these frames. Therefore, I changed to using up many of the rest of my brass hinge screws, but with increased number of holes and screws, again for the visual, in spite of more work to do when removing screens for cleaning.
Here's the larger of the two galley screen frames, this one with new screw holes drilled.
So I took these over to the wire wheel on the bench grinder and carefully gave each head surface a buff.
I had to count screws, and choose frame hole placement and numbers based on how many screws I had.
And that gives us this.
And the look from outside.
Then I moved to the big one at the dinette.
And finally up top in the bunk.
Here's the left side, which will be at the foot of the bed.
And the right side, or at the head of the bed.
Notice too, how well the repaired woodwork turned out. This side especially had some significant water damage.
In fact, the double rows of screws are structural, for extra ribs in this region.
