Final Mini-Mast

Final Mini-Mast

Mini mast planning - I call this my Mini-Mast 3.0

This is not for sale but for my own use. Special thanks and appreciation to Heidi Bears/Heidi Capatos and Egelantier Sokken. 

November 2020 My Mini-Mast was sent to Dave Lord / Chambord CSM for Powder Coating!

November 2020 My Mini-Mast was sent to Dave Lord / Chambord CSM for Powder Coating!

This began with visual inspiration by seeing Heidi’s and Egelantier’s Mini-Mast versions. Leap frogging with a base outline in paper format, I modified the paper components a few times prior to hand cutting their design out of sheet metal with my dremel. I modified my version so that nothing needed to be soldered and so that my royal cones can be used to hold yarn.

This Mini-Mast can work with three different color and still accommodate a fourth if using the main original machine mast.

WHY THIS IS COOL : All color work is manually done on the CSM - this allows for ease of yarn maintenance while working on the machine.

AN UPDATE: June 12, 2021 I changed the vertical mast from the 11” from the platform to the top to a new piece now measuring 16.5’ above the platform to better accommodate the Supergarne Aktiv yarn cone and still allow correct tension arm use.
