1. Stop buying cheap nasty drill bits. A set of cobalt drill bits for harder metals, stainless etc. will save you many blunt situations and frustrations….

2. Mate you need a cutting disc for your grinder you would have cut all that in no time. 💪🏼

3. Regarding mast step: the shrouds and stays cancel alot of the torque force but im still thinking about 50 percent of the sail's force will act on mast step….parallel to ocean surface. Could be wrong but im still not liking the lags….or the ledgers

4. Thanks for explaining why the base for the mast is so long.
   I am sure you know this trick, when cutting threads, put a nut on first, when you take the nut off it will re cut the threads. Absolutely nothing wrong with using a Die to do the threads, however if you don't have the right size ! You almost always have the right size nut.

5. Can you please purchase an anglegrinder? Cheap as chips😊

6. Don't sweat it. I know nothing about sailing but I do know about building things from wood and resin. You're doing alright.

7. I know better than to doubt your skill an determination to follow through with your plans .. An to sail her round the world!!
   Mark I have faith in your ability to succeed!! Cheers mate✌🏼💗😊🫡

8. When you drill a hole in steel especially stainless turn down the rpms to 6oo rpm and use a small drill bit like one eight and work your way up to the size you need. gradually. Hope that helps ya Mark! makes it a whole lot easier.

9. I like to put a nut on the threaded rod before I cut it. Then unscrew the nut over the cut area to restore the threads. It saves a lot of time.

10. For drilling stainless, Go slow! Lubricate often with a good cutting oil. If you see your oil smoke. Stop and re-lube and let it cool for a few seconds. Use a sharp bit! Don't let the bit get hot. You should get long spiral shavings not chips. You'll find that you will be able to drill a hole much faster by going slow and use good pressure. I mean really slow. Use a proper center punch. Keep up the great work!

11. Use Cobalt drill bits for drilling stainless Steel they will stay sharp longer, your doing a great job Mark

12. Thank you for addressing comments related to the mast beam. You are doing fine work. Seeing your struggles and successes is very satisfying. Thank you for providing content.

13. Why are you messing with a hacksaw…?get the grinder on job…also cobalt drill bits are excellent for stainless…good luck

14. I’d recommend a 18v Makita cordless angle grinder, to speed up cutting.

15. I think you might regret using 304 grade s/s. Even the quality of 316 s/s is pretty poor these days. Old 316 was way better. Any bolt we have that is A2 (304 grade) rusts away in no time in a marine environment. Check every nut and bolt you buy. You don't want to be using anything other than 316 grade where is will be subject to saltwater, that is, outside the boat.

16. I would double the size of all the mast step plank hardware….youre doing great brother. Love watching your journey

17. Hey bud that drill bit is an sds but you need a special drill for it. It will always be wobbly in regular still.
