Re: Stus-List Whisker pole chock mast mount - update

Thanks Ken! I used black starboard. 1" thick. 12"x12" pieces are available from McMaster-Carr for about $35. Knowing that ultimately my starting size would need to be roughly 5"x5"x2", I decided that a 12"x12"x1" piece was going to be the smallest usable and available size.

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole chock mast mount - update

What was the material you made it out of in the end? Is it black Starboard? I missed that detail somehow. The finished product looks great! Ken H. On 16 March 2018 at 11:38, Josh Muckley via CnC-List wrote: > Thought y'all might want an update on my whisker pole mast

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole chock mast mount - update

Thought y'all might want an update on my whisker pole mast chock mount. I initially was trying to find a carpenter or wood worker with bandsaw or scroll saw and a spindle sander that might have been able to make this piece quickly and easily. I was having a hard time articulating to people

If you don't have a fancy contour guage or tool, use a length of solder. Dennis C. On Feb 9, 2018 7:28 PM, "Joel Aronson via CnC-List" wrote: Or use a contour gauge and trace the shape. Then cut it to shape On Fri, Feb 9, 2018 at 9:18 PM Dennis C. via CnC-List

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole chock mast mount

Neat trick! In my case I actually have access to the bottom of the mast to get the contour. Josh On Sat, Feb 10, 2018, 9:24 AM John Christopher via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > A carpenters trick is to; > > - place the teak against the mast > - gauge the widest gap between the

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole chock mast mount

A carpenters trick is to; - place the teak against the mast - gauge the widest gap between the teak and the mast (outer edge) - wrap tape around a pencil same amount as gap (This will give you the widest point) - hold teak against mast, and trace the pencil (with tape) along the mast starting

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole chock mast mount

I'm on board with your thoughts Dennis and Joel. Some complications are that the depth of the concave curvature to accommodate the mast is 1-5/8ths which is a lot of sanding. Furthermore the maximum available thickness for starboard is 1" so some sort of stacking will be needed. Thanks for the

Re: Stus-List Whisker pole chock mast mount

Tape a piece of 60 grit sandpaper to the mast. Rub a piece of teak, Starboard, UHMW or whatever up and down until it conforms to the mast. 2-3 beer job. Builds biceps. Better to hoist more beers. Dennis C. On Feb 9, 2018 5:20 PM, "Josh Muckley via CnC-List" wrote: >

Ok Guys, I've been test fitting the whisker pole and track extensions to the mast while it is pulled. I need an extra section of track to get the inboard end of the pole high enough so that I can stow the pole on the mast. I'm pretty much all set but I'm down to the chock which will hold the
