Hmmm. I super need to make a gin pole for h260. How does person in the metal pole make the curve with a hacksaw, by hand after drawing a half circle???? That seems crazy hard to get right. - Davenport
My old boss man had me try scotch, I thought I got hit by a truck! Lol
Thanks for tips on making gin pole. How does one keep the bi metal hole saw in the right spot at the end of the pole? Hmmm. Does one cut the circular holes first and then cut the pole off at that point?? Thank you. - D
Flippin' scoundrels, scallywags and pirates....
That said they are keeping sea going traditions that have been in place since man took to the sea.
And asking AI, what were the common punishments for stealing from shipmates the answer was;
During the Golden Age of Piracy, stealing from shipmates was a serious offense, often dealt with according to the pirate code or articles agreed upon by the crew.
Sorry for your loss.

- Marooning: This was considered one of the cruelest punishments and was effectively a death sentence. The offending pirate would be abandoned on a remote island, often with minimal supplies like a bottle of water, a small gun, and a bottle of powder. The hot sun, lack of food and water, and isolation often led to a slow, agonizing death. Some marooned individuals preferred to use their pistol to end their torment early.
- Mutilation and being put ashore: For lesser thefts between pirates, the punishment might involve having one's ears and nose slit, and then being put ashore in a place where the pirate was likely to encounter hardship.
- Flogging: While flogging was a general form of punishment, a specific version, the "Thieves Cat" which used a whip with knotted thongs for added pain, could be used for theft.

How about keelhauling?
When a sailor was keelhauled, he would be stripped and tied so that he could not swim. Usually, a weight was attached to his legs to pull him away from the ship. The sailor was attached to a rope that ran underwater from one side of the ship to the other, and he was rapidly pulled through the water. Assuming the sailor did not usually drown, he would severely injured by the extremely sharp barnacles on the underside of the ship, known as the keel. This practice would leave severe scars on the flesh of the sailor, serving as a constant reminder of the event.

The bi-metal hole saw has a 1/4 inch drill bit in the center. That drills a pilot hole so the saw does not move around.
