In this episode of Travels with Geordie, Peter Knowles continues his restoration project on his classic wooden motor cruiser, MV Geordie, while navigating through challenging weather conditions in Victoria, British Columbia. The day's tasks, include working on the mahogany doorway to the chain locker. The goal is to enlarge the doorway to fit a new plastic barrel that will serve as the chain locker. Peter explains his plans to replace the existing door frame and widen the opening, taking advantage of the opportunity to work with mahogany. He sets to work on removing the old door, which involves unscrewing the hinges and preparing for the new frame.

Once the old door is removed, Peter begins constructing the new mahogany frame. He uses a combination of precise cuts and mitered corners to create a sturdy, well-fitted door frame. He carefully measures and fits the frame pieces together, ensuring the door’s dimensions align with his plans for the space. Throughout this process, Peter provides valuable insight into woodworking techniques, demonstrating how to create joints and rabbets that will ensure the frame fits securely in place. As he continues, he also sets up a production line to quickly produce additional mahogany rings for the port holes, which will complement the door and add to the overall aesthetic of the boat's interior.

After finishing the frame, Peter turns his attention to another task: constructing a new door frame between the forward head and the fil. He carefully selects a new piece of mahogany and starts the process of ripping and dressing the wood to the appropriate size. Using a table saw, he smooths the wood’s rough edges and prepares it for further shaping. He then moves on to creating a dado cut, which will allow the door jam to fit securely in place. Throughout the episode, Peter discusses his preferences for the various woodworking techniques he uses, offering tips and sharing his approach to working with the materials. His enthusiasm for the project and for working with wood is evident in every step, from preparing the wood to assembling the final pieces.

As the episode progresses, Peter assembles the door frame and completes a few additional tasks, such as rounding off edges and fitting the frame components together. He takes care to ensure that all parts are properly aligned, even offering a bit of humor and self-reflection as he adjusts measurements along the way. The episode concludes with Peter encouraging viewers to subscribe to the channel, reminding them that supporting the show through platforms like Patreon can help fund future projects.
