Lots going on here at the boathouse. It's time to put the taper in the top of the mast. Turns out there's a little bit more to that than just doing a straight taper. We'll be talking about a certain kind of taper as well as figuring out how to accommodate the slip of the router in ...

Fairing the Mizzen Mast – Episode 157 – Acorn to Arabella: Journey of a Wooden Boat
There is a lot of work going into restoring Victoria's old mast to be our mizzen mast. We already set up a sort of lathe and jig to cut kerfs into the mast so that we can then bring it down to a six inch diameter. To do that, I used a combination of a power planer and a hand plane to get down...
