Mast

I have been looking at the mast slung high above me in the factory & was a bit worried that prior to purchasing it had been stored outside & was suffering from a bit of corrosion.
So i decided to check it out. To my surprise it cleaned up very well with some water & a good working over with a green scouring pad.
I cut off a portion to use as a mould for the composite spreaders that i am going to make. So I am happy in that I do not have to buy another mast.
I have not started on the spreaders yet, but , will document progress as I go.



There are still some small imperfections that will need to be cleaned up. At least I know that it will clean up well enough for anodising. I have found an anodiser in Melbourne that can handle 11mtrs.
