Fiddles


My current project is to add some fiddles to our cockpit table. The main reason is that by putting fiddles at the hinge joint, the leaves will have better support when the table is open. There is one set of fiddles on the outside of the leaves (which are seen here), and another set on the under side of the main part of the table. When the leaves are opened, the fiddles will rest against each other to give a larger supporting surface to the open leaves. And as a bonus, our stuff won't fall off the table when we heel. Thanks to Raul for letting me use his woodshop to make the fiddles and get them epoxied on.
