  1. Mark,

     

    Canvas sails were made of, well, canvas! :)  Canvas is a very heavy cloth now made from cotton, but more traditionally made from hemp.  It wasn't treated in any way for protection against the weather.

  2. That looks an excellent saw frame you made there, Michael.

     

    By the way, I think every Auto Electrician in Sydney owns a Myford 7.  I walked into one workshop to do a survey and saw a cheap Chinese lathe on the bench.  I commented to the owner that he must be the only Auto Elec. in Sydeny without a Myford 7 and he said, "I took the Myford home to my workshop there - I'm not going to let these idiots ruin it." :)
