Mast, part 3

Lots of woodwork to be done at this point. Gluing up the next 3 sides took 3 days then an entire day to shape the mast. Now, to finish the job.

The second board is glued and clamped into place.

 

Here it is with the clamps off

 

Board #3 goes into place.

 

Before I installed the 4th board I filled the hollow cavity with aluminum foil making the mast a 12 feet tall radar reflector. Here the gls is on and I'm ready to clamp it together.

Lots of clamps!

This is where you begin to question yourself. taking a skill saw to your new wooden mast.

But, in the end, if you follow the lines you get a trimmed up mast ready to plane dowd to the final shape.

Lots of hand planeing to do.
