Sprucing up the Mast!!

I decided to have a break from the hull this evening, so I laid the mast out on a bench and set to with my new belt-sander. What a brilliant tool. It's gone from a tired looking, weathered old flaky mast to a really nice piece of spruce.

Note the convenient use of a set of aircraft chocks to raise it off the bench!

I should get some varnish applied fairly soon.

Working Nights!

As you can see I don't have a lot of light to work with in my shed at night. Roll on the Longer evenings!

I've tried some of my previously made cabin superstructure for size. I think I'll get away with just a few alterations.
