Raised my mast!!!!!

Post by EZFEED »

I used a 2X4 that I rigged for a gin pole with several steel eyes and a section of pipe that i hammered in at the bottom to fit in the foot of the mast! Used a set of double pulleys and it was a breeze!!!! :D

Got a question....

Spreader bar ends and the little wheels that are found above them. How important are they?

Should I just get some leather or vinyl and make my own?

I think I'll make some wheels out of plywood and dip them in resin then make some boots out of vinyl.
