Here you can see the plywood - red arrow - and the groove I cut in the bottom of the shelf to house the hinge.
When the vertical piece of plywood is pushed to the right, it folds up against the bottom of the shelf, and the whole shelf folds down.

If you want to do something, you will find a way.
If you don't, you will find an excuse.

When fully folded, it looks like this.

There is just enough room to fully open the doors on the right.

I wanted to get this posted last night, but after struggling with a cell phone company for 3.5 hours trying to change our plan and order a new phone, I was beat. It just didn't happen.
Anywho... If you have followed this thread, you know what this is. If not, well, it's a copper pipe that was coated with a few coats of Por 15. That was about 2 1/2 years ago, and still no oxidation. So, that means there is no moisture getting though to the copper.
Just an update, in case you wanted one, or not.

I am not sure how well this will show up, but I am getting ready to use some epoxy on the sink. I figured I would use a test piece to see how this looks with epoxy over fiberglass cloth.
Here is the first coat.

In case you are wondering, this is what I am using.

I am not familiar with the Total Boat products so I cannot make any judgment about their product.
I recommend West Products. I used them for years and never had any problems.

Here is the paper that came with the 2 containers. The only reason I bought some of this is, I had seen on youtube a girl who built a wooden strip canoe, and she used this over the fiberglass cloth. She said after a few coats of epoxy, you could not see the fibers, and the wood grain would show very nicely.
After looking at the video, I decided to give it a try. I bought this a while ago, so it's been sitting waiting to be used. So far so good.

Here is what I have been up to the last few days. Working on getting some epoxy on the sink.
Here is some of the sides done, but not over the top at this point yet.

I also put a piece on the bottom, after doing the bottom to sides edges.
I will say, it sure is a lot easier when things are flat, square, and rectangle, rather than rounded. Lol. No, I wouldn't change it. Even though rounded edges are more difficult to work with, it still has a nice look to it.

Then I added a piece around the top edge, all the way around, and down inside about an inch or so.
Doing the inside, (sides), will be a little easier, so that should be next portion of this to do.
Here I have some of the big lumps sanded off to get ready for the next coat.

I like how deep you made that sink. Good for just about anything. Looking forward to when it's finished.
