14 Fitting the canopy pillars, stairs and rails
14With the 3x3mm sapele batten, make the two 50mm canopy pillars
57 and the four 40mm canopy pillars 58. Fix the taller pillars to the
hull with nails 17 and glue the shorter pillars on the stern deck. With the
2x3mm sapele batten, make the canopy beams 59, 60, 61 and, on their
ends, just where they support the pillars 57 and 58, make a 1mm-
diameter hole 58 to insert the nails 17. Sand down the mizzenmast hole
63, as shown in the photo. With the 1.5x1.5mm sapele batten, make the
three ladders from the sides 64 and the four steps 65. Once the steps are
glued, make their lashings from cotton thread 62. With the 1.5x3mm
sapele batten, make the 66mm stern rail table 66 and the two 30mm bow
rail tables 67. With the 3x3mm sapele batten, make the 6mm columns 68.
Keep the third ladder and two 30mm stern rail tables for the next set of
instructions.
