The finished galley counter with the fridge installed is a compact workspace, at top. To begin, Ric installed the forward and aft bulkheads and fitted shelves along the hull, at left. The cabinet front is just tacked in place. After cutting the plywood countertop to size and cutting out openings for the sink and fridge, center, he dropped the Engel MB40 in place to work out the supports. He then built supports around the opening to keep the lid in place and provide a good seal, at right. The aft lid support creates a lip for the lid to slide under.
