I was pretty busy the last couple of days so I didn't get to post about the nylon gaff slider I made. The gaff slider has been chewing up the mast and as I is made of white oak epoxied together it had split. The new one is now done. I made it out of a block of nylon scrap I got from a local plastics supplier. Nylon is hard to work with regular wood power tools as it tends to melt and gum up the works. Pictured above is the old and the replacement slider.
