Hi All, here we go with another little update...
Decided to make the pulpit rail with copper coated mild steel just because that's what I have in stock.
First task was to get rid of the coating using wire-wool. A template of the foredeck was then made and I used this to mark out a piece of ply.
Panel pins were then tapped into place to get the curvature of the main (top) rail and the steel was bent around these and a block of wood used to maintain the height, held in place with a staple.
Because the steel is rather springy I used a weight to hold the steel down against the block -at this point we had a visit from the resident safety inspector...
