Finished Shaping The Mast

Finished shaping the mast after work today. All that was left to do was make the bottom 300 mm round so that it would fit the mast step.

Similar to the rest of the mast I marked out the additional faces and proceeded with a small hand plan to get it closer to round.

As you can see it worked out pretty good. I finished up with 80 grit sand paper in the boxed sander -it definitely does a great job!

My plan is to move either to the boom or the top mast next. I'll worry about doing the finish sanding on the mast once I have the mast sleeve built and the sail track epoxied on.
