Part 1b - Manufacturing the sail hardware (continued)


This pic is included as a reference for the parts being manufactured.
Part 6 was made from two (2) pieces of Celtec that were shaped on a disc/belt sander. After that, a hole was drilled in one piece to accommodate a length of brass tubing, and then all of the pieces were glued together with CA glue.
Part 7 was made from a piece of brass rod. The flag was obtained from the Internet and printed on a sheet of address labels. Before installation, the flag will be laminated to make it waterproof.
Part 8 was made from two (2) lengths of brass tubing and a piece of neoprene hose. These were glued together with CA glue.
Part 9 Not yet complete.
Part 10 Not yet complete.
