Its slow going right now because my wife is now home after surgery. And its HOT here - my shop is not air conditioned. I'm now making the masts and yards and I fashion them on a lathe using a collet system. Works well. I use a rasp and sandpapers to taper. Some pictures for you (Including weather forecast....)
