Step 14Levitation
Now we can make a mount to which the helm will be fixed.
I used some left over pine timber . A length of 900mm was suitable for my height to handle the helm comfortably when complete. So, 900x90x50mm. One end rounded . I used an electric jig saw and rough shaped the end. Finish off with that rasp to a nice rounded top end. Them Use a router to make a reasonable edge. Drill a hole through the end to accomodate the axil for the helm. I used a 80x9mm bolt and nut. Washers as well.Use the same varnish as before. Suspend the timber from something so you can varnish in one go. (levitation ?)
