Work space in the galley of a small or medium-size cruiser is always in short supply. But one place where you can make more functional use of the space is the stainless-steel lid on a galley stove. When the stove is not in use, it usually is a handy spot except that it is a slippery surface with rounded edges. And, it is not recommended that you place glasses or other objects on the lid if its surface is wet or if the boat is moving. A quick project, however, can make the steel galley stove top a very usable space, particularly when entertaining. Basically, the countertop is a 3/4 inch teak or mahogany board with holes drilled for holding tumblers. This glass-holder is mounted with screws to the rear portion of the tilting stove lid. The front portion of the countertop consists of edging screwed onto the steel lid to keep hors d’oeuvres and other snacks safely corralled.
