Interesting Stanchion bases?

[PCUK]

I put this on the Mobo forum but obviously no-one else thought they were interesting!
These are the bases that the 'smokin' epoxy' backing plates are for.

Like most American sport cruisers the side decks are almost non existent so to maximum foot room I decided to move the stanchions from the deck to the gunwale. They need to be strong so to add to the stiffness I decided to 'bling' them by matching the shape of the windows. The rails will be made separately and slid over the base stubs and then pinned. Just another example of the 'make it up as you go along' philosophy of the small builder/renovator.:nonchalance:

that is one of the best titles I have seen on this forum

it is so specific

and I love being among my fellow men who find stanchion bases of interest

I think they look great. Once they are complete, observers are going to think they were original - the highest compliment you can get. Good stuff!

And that photo has given me an idea on how to mount a PC monitor pole between the upright on my chart table and the inside of the coach roof.
