Making sawdust... Mast project day 2-3

One thing I don't like about doing single projects (like the mast) is that unlike building a boat you wind up wasting a lot of time waiting for stuff... Now, with a big multifaceted project while waiting on one project you can pick up another and so on. It's a lot easier to be more productive with several projects running than just doing one. Well, if you are somewhat organized it works...


Day two was mainly spent ripping strips for the mast and cutting out molds, not as productive as I'd like but workable within our two week build schedule.

Day three was (being Sunday) a late start (I blame the waffles) but we were able to cut most of the scarfs...


Today we woke to wind and a deluge of sorts. Rain is good for making the island green (there has been something of a drought this year) but not so good when you are building a mast in a parking lot without any rain cover. Not too problematic as stuff like this is simply par for the course... So it goes!
