Tabernacle fit to mast
Posted: Mon Jul 24, 2023 6:15 pm
I think the last assembly project I have on this build is the tabernacle. I got the side pieces cut and drilled and filled a long time ago. I think I found the rear part of the assembly but when I put the pieces together around the mast it’s a very close fit. By the time I add epoxy and varnish I’m sure it will rub.
I could make a new, slightly wider rear piece but I’m interested to know the experience of other builders. Should there be any space between the tabernacle and mast? I just hate to get it all assembled and then can’t install the mast.
Oh, and each piece measures 3 - 1/16”, so, yeah it will be tight. Perhaps I didn’t clamp the mast well enough as it’s supposed to be 3”.
