Now where was I? Oh yeah I needed to make the lower mast.

Started out by finding I didn't have the wood. Needing a 5/16" thick AYC or boxwood which I didn't have left me two choices

1) ripping boxwood plank

n

wasting a large piece of wood for such a small part

or

glue two pieces of 5/16" together after ripping and cementing together making a 5/8" for the mast

.

Using the Byrnes sander making a piece 5/16" square

 r

Ready for the square portion of mast

Next using the 7/10/7 method to make an octagon ready for the lathe.

using plane cutting to the marks and into the lathe into the finished mast
