Re: Mast Gauge ?
THere is a drawing of this gadget in one of the Payson instant boat
books. No time to explain it now. I suspect it's on Michalak's site
also.

Getting ready to build the masts for the Folding Schooner we are
building. I remember seeing a homemade marking gauge used to lay out
eight sides on the four sided blank. Anybody know how to make one of
these? I plan on cutting down 4x4 s to three inches square and then
putting in the taper and rounding over to 3" diameter by eight siding
and then 16 etc with an electric power plane. Any advice welcomed.

building. I remember seeing a homemade marking gauge used to lay out
eight sides on the four sided blank. Anybody know how to make one of
these? I plan on cutting down 4x4 s to three inches square and then
putting in the taper and rounding over to 3" diameter by eight siding
and then 16 etc with an electric power plane. Any advice welcomed.
