Took some time out from varnishing to make a wind indicator/vane that fits into the mast crane.
It's made from brass tubing of various sizes. The weight at the front is simply three progressively larger bits of tubing soldered together.
This is my first attempt and I'm not convinced of the strength of it, especially where it's bent. But was easy enough to make and if it snaps off I'll make a better one!
It's also a rough-draft! Yes, it looks pretty sloppy, but future ones will be better. And in a future one, I see no need to solder a second bar on using tube sections. Instead, I'll just solder the two bars themselves.
Peace!
