Thread-topic: Spreaders
Bill,

You have out done yourself. That looks incredibly detailed, but fantastic. I
have a less sophisticated version on my garage floor now. You and Greg have
answered my question. The angle of attack should account for the bend in the
mast. Seven degrees is a nice magic number. I think I¹ll aim for that.

Do you plan to mechanically attach this part to the mast or bond it? I hate
drilling holes into this mast but I also hate bonding it too. Mike J. here
in Vancouver brought up some good points regarding this. It is possible to
break the mast or a spreader. Kind of and advantage to keep them modular. I
leave this open to the whole group.
