MAST BITS

Here our mast bits are joined to length, and we'll shortly be tapering the narrower pieces as described in the plans. This is a very easy process. Setout the taper in accordance with the drawings, and using your weapon of choice, cut down to the line! I don't mind a bit of work with a hand plane, but some may choose to saw much of the waste off before planing down to line, or even trimming with a belt sander.
