    Thank you Mark that makes great sense to me now. My problem now is  that I have to move out of the shop into the snow with  hull  number two in order to make space for me to build the crossarm beams.

    Hi Mark looks like you're going to be a launching soon. I am puzzling over the tabernacle full-size patterns in sheet#4 --I am wondering if most of this mysterious construction  kind of telescopes into the mast---two side layers of 12 mm hardwood with the grain going up-and-down and one layer of16mm  layer I don't understand what they are talking about here can you help me
