[C320-list] Dining Table Modification

[Graeme Clark]

If you just want to take a few inches off each end, a competent joiner or carpenter should be able to do this for you. The side ‘rails’ (fiddles?) unscrew (after you remove the wooden plugs) and can be saved and re-used to cover the newly cut ends if they are cut to a similar profile. I guess they may be glued and screwed in which case some more skilful woodwork would be needed, but it strikes me it should be possible without the need to remake the entire table?

> Skippers,  has anyone modified the configuration of the dining table to provide a easier access to the stbd seats.  I would like to trim a few inches off the ends but don't want to end up with some ugly plywood edges to conceal.  All ideas or suggestions appreciated.  Thanks!
