Cup Holder for the Nav Station

I have finally put a cup holder at the navigation station.  Having a hot cup of coffee or soup while at the nav station in rough conditions has carried a big risk of accidental tipover into the computer keyboard or other navigation equipment.  I've looked at plastic fold-out holders in boat shops but to me they seemed small and flimsy.   

This week I took advantage of Reggie's electric tools and made a cup holder out of spare three-ply.  I couldn't get his electric saw to track properly so I used his jig saw to cut the pieces as well as the slot for the handle.  I put it together using small pins and West System epoxy as glue.  There was no belt sander so I used an angle grinder with a sand paper pad to trim off the rough edges.  I then finished off the sanding by hand and laid 2 coats of varnish. 

OK, it's a bit rough but it should be strong enough to get me back to Australia.  There I'll make a proper one out of jarrah using my table and radial arm saws, router, belt sander, etc.

Total outlay for the cup holder: 5 pesos for the clavitos (tiny nails).
