Short pause in shipyard.
Job trip with little travel to see incredible Black River Monastery at south of Serbia, situated in deep wood on mountain gorge with steep cliffs ...
Monastery church is situated in cave, miniature hermitages and monk cells are around and partially drilled in stone, narrow passages as labyrinth, wooden terraces above the precipice .... all walled with stone ...
Enjoy as I did!

Cap Band,, step by step
Remarks
Strip of Cu foil on start is spiral, with ends INSIDE
Dont forget to apply thiny foil of soldering on surface of strip.
1. Cut a strip of copper foil of the required width, long enough to wrap twice around the mast. Sand well
2. Bend the tape around both masts in a spiral, so that the ends of the tape are on the inside
3. remove from the mold, adjust to the correct dimensions and tighten so that it does not unroll, then solder the assemblies. Apply a thin layer of solder paste to the surface of the ring to strengthen it
4. Solder the foil over as a cover
5. Remove excess material
6. Drill the holes for the hooks

Also some ladies from time to time ...
And my office, of course. In April i can retire with 65 years old and full 40 years of working, but I`ll continue to work as attorney.
As you can see ... usual staff for me - "monkey see - monkey do" 😜
In all that stuff, I was stuck in finding appropriate material for masts for a long time
See you soon here, dear friend.

Thank you Simon for yourt support and nice advises. My brain started to work somewhere in background to find solution. Right now I am somewhere between trying with smaller deadeyes and simulation of dead eyes. We'll se what will happen.
Al the best.
