Use push-pins to pin the die-cut windshield parts in position on the plan.

Using the windshield drawing as a guide, cut the upright parts of the windshield frame from one 3/32" x 5/16" x 24" basswood strip. Use push-pins to hold these parts in position on the plan. Then apply CA to all of the joints.

Roger's Notes: I used a Miter Cut Precision Wood Cutting Tool from Fourmost to cut the strips.

Use a sanding block to round off the upper edges of the hatch, as shown. Then, place the hatch aside. It will not be needed again until the boat is painted.
