Fantastic video on building a real mast for a sailing ship. Vegas new mizzen mast.

Interesting, but I don't think it would have the strength of a built-up mast.

Luck is just another word for good preparation.

One of my favorite You Tubers The Art of Boat Building recently did a video on making a mast. He used many of the same techniques we taught in our Admiralty Models workshop on masting and sparring for making a tapered mast. Check out his video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaWIIiv9zRg&ab_channel=TheArtofBoatBuilding. His next video was on building a half hull model and his lofting and building of the model should interest many of the modelers here. Bob is a true artist and craftsman:
