| Oooo! Shiny! |
Our rail-mounted BBQ table (it's really a fish cleaning table, but Fish Do Not Fear Me...) was really showing its age. The plastic had suffered extreme UV degredation - the surface had turned porous and chalky. And with use, grease and other food stuff soaked into the porosity and then bacteria went to town, meaning that it was porous, chalky and spattered with black spots and streaks. Truly ugly. And unsanitary.
So, not too long ago when I went to a garage sale at San Juan Yachts (yup, the place that made the San Juan sailboats... now they are only making RIBs), I bought a scrap of Starboard for cheap. Then I cut it up with my trusty little table saw, copying the shapes of the pieces in the old table. I even used the same screws to put it together.
Not bad for $15 and a couple of hours work in the shop!
