Mast step and Mast base



I got a bunch of great help last night from Robert Harper, President of the Swift Solo class. Robert has been doing some wood turning and was able to free up some time to shape my mast step and bases for the project. He showed some serious skill on the lathe and made quick work of these bases. The first picture is the stock Acetal/Delrin and the second picture is finished pieces. We made two of each just to have a backup set, just in case. Now all that's left is to drill a larger hole for the bolt in the mast base pieces, thread the bolt in and then cut it to length and round it off, that should be done today.
