Sails - grid mock-up


otterine

I did a foam core board mock-up the last time I worked on the mill.  This gave me the measurements I needed for each sail.  Before I do all the work of cutting tiny pieces of wood to make a true sail frame, I wanted to mock them up further.  I used cardboard scraps to make a grid approximation for the sails.

I wasn't especially careful in cutting so it went reasonably fast.  I taped the new grid sails to the bamboo skewers and inserted those into the hub.  I put the sails on the foam core mock-up front to see if these still look good for size.  Yep, I think that'll do.  :D

I'm glad you decided to pick this project to pick up next. I've been waiting to see what happens next. :) 

Plus, Gustav needs a home! :D
