Gluing the main mast

Today with the generous help of Glenn, we glued the main mast together. Things are a little tight in the workshop. I used gorilla glue and it seems to set up pretty fast.
Tomorrow I will plane it round and it will look a little more like a mast. Due to the imperfections of the wood I am using and the saw job that I did , it will require a little epoxy patching. Perfectionists out there would be appalled by the whole operation. I am pretty sure this mast is going to be plenty strong for the job.

There are still four more spars to build before it gets frigid around here.
