Dear fellow Amel owners,
After a first 35k nm RTW, I'm ready to cast off again on my beloved ScentStone.
For the coming weeks, I'll be able to work with my friend Sylvain who is a great and skilled carpenter on some possible little improvements or custom equipments and I'm tempted to open this thread for those of you who want to share which wooden or carpentry piece makes their Amel special and beautiful, comfy or just smart and they could be proud to show here.
I know that some of you made really smart improvements.
Please, be certain to attach some detailed images and ready to make simple drawings for interested members. Of course, if you experienced some disappointment while making some of these feel free to share as well in order to avoid mistakes ;-)
As a "starter" I'm happy to share how we have setup our Sailrite sewing machine a few years ago.

Nice
idea. We use that area for our printer/scanner. The Sailrite
machine fits nicely into the bottom of the clothes closet in the
aft cabin.
For
as long as we've owned the Puffster, I still have trouble drilling
holes for stuff like that.
With best regards,
Mark

My hand shakes and I break out into a sweat at the thought of drilling a hole in Joy.

The interior of Harmonie looks, and works, essentially as it did when she left the factory. The only significant carpentry project I can think of is essentially invisible: A total rebuild of one of the chest freezers. Our SailRite machine has always lived happily across from the forward head. Bill Kinney SM160, HarmonieIles does Saintes, Guadeloupe http://www.cruisingconsulting.com

I have just completed the Freezer rebuild. Huge improvements in the way the seal works. Put in a lower seal ledge. 5mm foam sandwich all around the fiberglass box, this makes it a solid, strong box. I did the forward one. Remove the drain indentation. There was only 30mm of insulation under the drain indentation. No screw that punctures the fiberglass box,anymore Reinsulated with vacuum panels are closed cell foam. New plate and compressor. Bigger job than expected. Michael Nebo sm251

Tilo & Jeannette Peters
I have to admit that I’ve been captured by the DeWalt tools, and especially the TStak tool boxes that they come in. However, I got tired of having them take up a good portion of the forward cabin. The TStak boxes are made to clip together securely, but DeWalt doesn’t make a clip system that functions to secure the boxes to a fixed base. Luckily, I found a design online and modified it a bit to work for my purposes.
Thus I built shelves to accommodate some of my toolboxes (I still have two that don’t fit in here, but they can live in the bottom of the closet space along with our Sailrite machine.
Cheers,

ERIC LICHTY & ROBYN ATKINSON
On LIBBY SM #196, there is also room for at least 4 Dewalt stack boxes in the fwd stbd closet on the original amel tabbed shelves behind original sturdy sea rails, no modification required. Good sailing, Eric and Robyn
