: Nice work John and Joe,

: Joe, You wouldn't have any detailed pics of the build you could
: share?

: Also would like to know where you get the release barrier; very
: cool.

: My cedar is getting a little thin. See any problems setting the
: magnets proud of the hatch?

: Thanks, Jim

Jim, with the method I used the magnets a little proud of the surface would not be too much of a problem. What I would do in your case is add some glass to increase the thickness before you cut your hatch so you will not have to leave the magnets proud. The magnets are 1/8" thick so it should not take too much glass.

The next hatch I do (later this week) I will document with photos. check out this link... http://www.redfishkayak.com/livingston.htm
