Calypso by mandolinut - Billing Boats - 1:45

Removed all of the peripherals off of Calypso today in preparation to working on the upper and lower safety rails.

Nothing is finished yet, but all is getting closer to being finished.

Installed the lower safety rails today.  Began by dry fitting running the wire through the stanchions to line the stanchions up. Once dry fit, I began gluing the stanchion bases in place. 

Then added a small dab of thin super glue to all of the joints. Next, the safety rails over the pilot house and upper deck.

I came back this afternoon and started the wheelhouse safety rails and the upper deck safety rails. The rails above the wheelhouse are set in natural wood decking so I placed the stanchions in predrilled holes and painted the bases careful not to get paint in the holes. This will help when it comes time to paint the rails.
