Skylight fixture....
Progress on the skylight fixture is coming along very slowly. The brass railing has not been cleaned up yet, and I haven't added the stanchion footings.
After I finish gluing the brass bars in place, I'll try to find a way to assemble all those little parts.

And whilst in the mood, decided it's about time to break out the carving utensils.... been looking forward to this for a very long time.

As I began working on the three sets of davits, I am running across a few details I left undid.... with intentions to eventually come back to them.
One example being this strip of shaped molding just above the upper gun ports.
I remember deciding that I didn't wish to take the time of scraping the profile into the strips at that point..... then completely forgot about it until now.
No time like the present, huh?

Inboard Stern Bulwarks....
Along with installing the skylight fixture, I just finished wrapping up the various fixtures found on the bulwarks of the stern as well as a few deck trimmings.
One note regarding the skylight....
I found the overall circumference of the brass rail surrounding the skylight is slightly undersized, which prohibits the placement of the brass sheet on which the skylight base should be mounted. Haven't decided yet whether to simply leave as is, or remove the entire rail assembly and e-make larger. Not real crazy about that option to say the least.
Otherwise, I am ready to begin working on the three davits.

Thank you Vic.
Jon.... Only time will tell about the “eating away” thing. Now is not a good time for me to address it.
Love your visits guys.
