With the railing done I set about affixing some of the interior components to the wheelhouse floor: the helm, control levers, depth tube, knobby doohickey on the port wall just behind the control levers on the lower deck. Got them epoxied in place, set them aside to cure -- and promptly knocked the entire assembly off the bench.
The stair well cup was broken off along with the helm and control levers. Fortunately, each individual piece was virtually unharmed save for some scraped paint. The rails connecting the center stairwell pole to the circular railing were lost. And the helm railing was bent slightly. It was gently worked back into position.
So I set the parts aside after assessing the damage to redo the work again at a later date. For some reason I had a headache.
