Pin Rails are part of the ship's rigging, which I won't be getting to for quite a while.
But, they needed to be fabricated and installed as part of the deck gear.
The kit contained tiny cast metal belayng pins, but I had to build the rails.
Ever try drilling 88 holes in 1.5 x 4mm walnut strip stock?
You need either a very steady hand, or a drill press for your Dremel tool.
My metric straight edge serves as a guide and guage.
The drilled strip material is then cut into the proper lengths.
Side braces are shaped and cut from 2 x 4mm walnut.
Did I mention that the belaying pins were tiny?
A drop of CA glue for each pin.
Before you know it, there's eight pin rails ready to go.
Here they are glued to the bullworks.
The deck is progressing nicely.
