At least we can win stuff there! I hear the traffics not good? 

Hi their Greg,

Actually the traffic I have experienced is pretty dam good.

I am a TX driver, meaning driving Games Family Members(visiting nation dignitaries, managers), Comm Games officials about.

A loot of work went into Games Lanes on a designated road network which I get to drive on.

We have Comm Games vehicles to drive all shift.

Done 7 shifts with 4 to go. Bit tiring, but meeting interesting people from other countries.

Hi Pat,

Yes I bet the rope and block work is a memorable experience.

 I need to get back into it, keep the momentum up, as weeks will drag into months.

Want to get this baby completed.

Hello 

          Excellent work throughout your build. The full size replica of the Endeavor is being lifted out of the river tees in Stockton uk,if you are interested. It is to be sailed down to Whitby, were it is to be used as a tourist attraction among other things, after a total refurbishment.  They are lifting it with a 750ton crane over the lock gates as it is 3 metres wider than the gates. Thought you may be interested...... if so you can follow the slow progress. Go to  the.  STOCKTON GAZETTE.  UK.     Regards DAVID  I will delete this post once you have read it , unless you tell me not to.

Hi David,

Happy to leave here in my log.

Do you know which organisation built this hull ?

Hello Dave 

                 You asked if I new who built this full size replica of the ship. My friend who was involved in the lifting and moving of the ship sought out this information. It was built by Dennis Aveling at the Aveco yard near South Bank, Middlesbrough. It was towed up the Tees in 1993, this was before the Tees Barrage was completed, and it was fitted out by apprentices as part of their training. It is metal hulled, and it’s original weight was 183 tonnes, and has one less internal deck than the original vessel. Here are some photos of the lifting procedure. Don’t forget to tell me to delete all of this when you require me to. Regards David.

Wow that is some lift of the hull.

Thanks for letting us know the source of the Build.

I don't mind the pictures staying. All adds to the Endeavour 's ongoing History.

Shipyard Update:

You may say "I'm Back"

 

Well it looks like a full month my shipyard has been on an extended break.

With the Commonweath Games, then catching up with some paid work, time got away.

 

Mizzen Crossjack:

I just had to add something to the model.

I had made the 2 Main & Fore Lower Yards and the Mizzen Crossjack a month ago. 

Time to get things onto the model and finish her off.

Above: Mizzen Crossjack in place, the Sling for the Yard Sling Block highlighted.

Tying knots in-situ, is a challenge in itself.

Many more to come is the reality.

Shipyard Update:

The slackers in the yard have been a little busy fitting the Blocks & Ropework on the Main & Fore TopSail Yards.

 

Getting the Blocks ready:
I find it easy to make all the items of similar items at the same time, so when it comes to putting it all together, can do more than 1 and speeds things up. Plus maintain consistency. 

TopsailYards_0001.thumb.jpg.5c32a28ceea40cc73359e2cdeae2fbf3.jpg

Above: Each sized block I groove the sides and ends for the rope to go around.

TopsailYards_0003.thumb.jpg.be861c72286fe8fe9b737c99fbd0f99b.jpg

Above: Progress with the Jeers ready to be attached, some others already on etc.

Matter of progressively working  

TopsailYards_0004.thumb.jpg.e95facfbbc4b6a691449b454758e2da4.jpg

Above: Little jig to hold the yard whilst setting up the Horse Stirrups. Set them with 50/50 PVA/water mix to hold in place.

 

Below is a short set of 3 pictures showing how I make the rope loops, to attach to the yards (or other situations)

TopsailYards_0006.thumb.jpg.64755c7cb5730622e1cd9bb8c35906a2.jpg

Above: I use a peg of similar size to the spar, loop the rope about and hold with enough space to seize with twine.TopsailYards_0007.thumb.jpg.c6f81cabde7232464eb944a73432e4ff.jpg

Above: I have a number of hooks and clips to hold the main rope, also to hold the seize twine.

See if I can describe the process.

I start with the twine held by the blue clamp on the right.

The twine passes to the left through the left hook (blue arrow) and back to the right.

(the twine loop through the hook is used later to pull the final wrap into the seized section)

Just before the red clamp I start wrapping the twine around the 2 lines back towards the "peg", wrapping/seizing the required number (3 or 4).

This can be hard at first, but with pointy nose tweezers you can hold the twine in place and start the wrapping.

The wraps might not go all the way to the peg. That can be fixed later.

You hold the the final wrap/seize (I put pressure with a finger), loosen and unhook the hook from the loop.

Then thread the twine through the "hook loop".

Whilst holding the twine end (yellow arrow), pull the right side/end of the twine, in direction of the "red arrow".

This pulls the loop towards the seized section, and pull the twine on the right side till the loop is gone, and the left twine end goes under the seized section a bit.

 

image.png.cdcb8d0a9ad37c966079fbf3685a0c87.png

Above: Hopefully you end up with something like this.

I usually can slide the seized section alone the main ropes when attaching to the yard or other item.

Glue in place and trim the unwanted ends.

Shipyard Update:

We have moved onto the Topsail Yards Tye and Reef Tackle and Lift Blocks.

I decided to do these now before I get to fit and stay the Top Gallants.

 

Getting the Blocks ready:
The Single Masthead Tye Blocks fit up in the space under the trees.

5b015b2f07b2a_MainTopMast_TyeSingleMastheadBlocks_0001.thumb.jpg.d2e755b7d8359989452e0bd5970a807c.jpg

Red arrows point to where the Single Tye blocks are to go. Not much space up in there.

5b015b2d1568d_MainTopMast_TyeSingleMastheadBlocks_0002.thumb.jpg.6b1ca4f8ccc4b303219419f28970da73.jpg

The Single Tye blocks being made. I've used 6mm singles as the 7mm (scaled size) were just little bit too thick across the cheeks to fit up in the space. 

5b015b2add6b4_MainTopMast_TyeSingleMastheadBlocks_0003.thumb.jpg.02cc80fa0dcaeadb3760fd2722d2ee07.jpg

Other 3 completed. Now I made these with 1 pull thread, so when in place simply pull on the 1 thread to lift up under the shrouds/trees.

 

5b015b28a30d0_MainTopMast_TyeSingleMastheadBlocks_0004.thumb.jpg.5c4b809d178374a2d6bdbe392deaf312.jpg

Single Tye Blocks in place. This is a shot at the Main, Fore similar.

The Burton Pendant is very close and will have to keep an eye that it stays to the side when fitting the Tye Lifts.

 

Next I made the Long Stropped Lift & Reef Tackle Blocks

These need to be made now as the loop end of the strop pairs go under the Tye Lift. 

MainTopMast_LoangStroppedMasthead_LiftBlock_0006.thumb.jpg.d37caa97552ef273394e5b0b45b6aabb.jpg

Each made the same way as in Pic above.

 

MainTopMast_LoangStropped_Blocks_0007.thumb.jpg.d171beb8878266794a7a97389cb59b07.jpg

2 sets of each per Main & Fore completed.

 

MainTopMast_TyeLift_Tackle_0014.thumb.jpg.cf79b882ebbe612a860b82872c51c11f.jpg

The Long Stropped lift blocks (Green Arrow) are looped about the mast head as are the Long Stropped Reef Tackle Blocks(Blue Arrow).

The lighter color over the top being the Tye Lift.

An keen eye may see that the Lift Tackle about the masthead splays outside the 2 main beams of the cross tree. I suspect it should drop more vertical behind the bottom of the TopGallant. But their is no space for this when the TopGallant is fitted. 

 

Next was to fit the Yard Tye Block Lift Tackle

 

MainTopMast_TyeLift_Tackle_0011.thumb.jpg.2f7caed778a2f4e3e52972b9ead8719e.jpg

Trial fit of the Lift Tackle.

MainTopMast_TyeLift_Tackle_0017.thumb.jpg.9eeaeee6b7e343ab9c7f516c2b6b8192.jpg

Parrel fitted around the Mast (Red Arrow). They run up/down very well.

Tye Tackle upper Double Blocks (Purple Arrow)

Next will be to do the Fore Mast then run the Tye Tackle down to the eye on the channels.

MainTopMast_TyeLift_Tackle_0013.thumb.jpg.aa6f45f8040e0b4acdbf227253a2f182.jpg

All above items in place.

 

Getting close after all these Topsail Yards and Tye Blocks/Lifts to fit and shroud to Top Gallants.

Shipyard Update:

The yard has been busy(about time I say), hoisted the Fore Top Mast Yard with Tye blocks and tackle.

It's much the same as the Main in the previous post.

ForeTopMast_TyeLift_Tackle_001.thumb.jpg.b51672dff83bfa9ae0a43c47e03a54b6.jpg

Next step was to start the Main and Fore Top Gallant masts.

Below is the Main Top Gallant mast installed.

Main_TopGallantMast_001.thumb.jpg.3fe4750f07d862d61da51f97746ce1f4.jpg

The shrouds are from 0.3mm rope with the Stay being 0.45mm

The shrouds are seized where they go through the tree outer arms, long enough to reach down to the Futtock below.

That final tying off yet to be done.

 

Main_TopGallantMast_002.thumb.jpg.34e2d0033c056a310b11c4309a261887.jpg

Close up of the Shrouds and Stay about the MTG mast.

 

Main_TopGallantMast_003.thumb.jpg.6f5b4c86d245a26ec84a686b3d7fb384.jpg

The Main Top Gallant Stay runs forward through a rear block lashed to the Fore mast Top Mast head.

Getting mighty crowded around the mast top.

Main_TopGallantMast_004.thumb.jpg.a8de2f90108e7607773a302988c44946.jpg

The stay runs down and is lashed to the Main Mast Stay loop about the Fore Mast.

Somehow I need to get a lashing above the 2 hitches. !!   

 

Next is to attach the Fore Top Gallant - similar but with Stay going to the outer block of the Jib Boom.

Some good progress there Dave.  The use of diminishing sized rope as you go up will certainly help the 'admirer' when looking at her as she will be more true-to-life.

Thanks Pat,

Trying my best to get the proportions right.

Slowly working my way about the Masts, adding the yards etc. in hope of not having to pull something off to add something missed.

Shipyard Update:

The shipyard has been a little busier.  :piratebo5:

We have fitted the Fore Top Gallant Shrouds, but lower ends not tied off yet.

Same for the Main Top Gallant Shroud lower ends.

Just cannot get into it at the moment so...

 

Fore Top Gallant Stay:

I made the Stay off Mast, Top end Loop larger to fit over the Mast Cap

ForeTopGallant_Stay-002.thumb.jpg.d824c33ec94c8d40c8ec67823c7a6038.jpg

Above:  Using 0.45mm rope I made the Loop which goes around the TG Mast, above the Shrouds.

I leave a length of the wrapping thread to close up the gap to the mast. See below.

 

ForeTopGallant_Stay-003.thumb.jpg.c1490d6d848428f7f2bede34060ea484.jpg

 Above:  Stay in place with further wraps of the thread to close the gap to the mast, then 50/50 PVA water over the lot.

Need to get the left thimble tied around the Fore Stay Boom Lashing.

Lots more to do.;)

Shipyard Update:

The shipyard has been at it again. Some progress that is.

 :piratebo5:

We have started the Fore Top Mast Backstay Tackles.

Below: Mast Backstay Tackle from AoTS:

And below the tackle setup for the Starboard ForeMast Backstay Tackle.

These Backstays have been hanging about for several months now, waiting to be finished(tackled !!) off.

5b15cea3614c0_ForeTopMastBackstayTackle_004.thumb.jpg.e8651f3a63c0ed6c1dabba72d5a5ba2d.jpg

Not sure of the knots to the dead-eye below the channel, used half hitch on the front and bowline on the rear.

 

A couple of pictures of making the blocks.

5b15ce991cc8a_ForeTopMastBackstayTackle_002.thumb.jpg.7b21bca54fbfee2c22fb785f22212c76.jpg

Tackle: I used a Double Block for the top, only as the rope starts from the bottom block up and goes that way twice.

5b15ce9c70bda_ForeTopMastBackstayTackle_001.thumb.jpg.1a14ce3da57465d16ee936feedb91155.jpg

Tackle:  The lower block I used a single bock with a loop in the rope around a rod to simulate a "thimble" to attach the tackle rope.

 

3 more to go.

Shipyard Update:

The shipyard has been on a go slow.

 :piratebo5:  Too many distractions for the owner(me).

 

Managed to get the Top Gallant Shrouds and Backstays on Fore and Main Masts.

Pre-rigged the above onto the Top Gallant mast sections. Then fitted onto the respective Top Masts.

 

Below: 1 set of two(2) Top Gallants for Main and Fore Masts.

Next to finish the Fore Top Gallant Shrouds. So much fun tying these in mid air, keeping the mast vertical and shroud tensions the same.

Hi Dave,

I definitely have not paid enough attention to your build log. i just went through the last 10 - 12 pages of your log and realized that you pay as much attention to detail in your log as you do in your build. I saw a lot of details about how you built your masts, spars, and rigging that will be a huge help when (if?) I ever get to that point. I'll keep following the new posts and searching the old for ideas that I can use.

I saw a lot of details about how you built your masts, spars, and rigging that will be a huge help when (if?) I ever get to that point. I'll keep following the new posts and searching the old for ideas that I can use.

 

Rod

Thanks for looking in Rod,

I have learn't so much during my build, with many thanks go to others who have shared ideas and techniques.

To give back I do the same, in hope it is worthwhile for others for their builds.

Shipyard Update:

We have moved onto the Mizzen Gaff and TopGallant Yard.

The Gaff has a number of blocks and slings on it, all providing the hoisting, Vang, bracing to the TopGallant yard, Brails to the sail.

Below is Gaff nearly ready to hoist to the Mizzen.

JeerBlock(4mm) with sling, around and under the Mizzen Cap.

The AoTS had a fixed sling for this. I replaced it with Jeer Blocks like the Replica has. Made sense so the Gaff can be raised more easily.

Bit of tidying up to do, but nearly their. 

Add the Fancy and Brails lines.

All up it's taken me a couple of weeks on/off to get it all together.

Stunning work Dave; even at extreme close-up your work is clean and crisp. The rigging is looking very good.

 

cheers

Shipyard Update:

Mizzen TopSail Yard.

Previously I made reference for the above as the Mizzen TopGallant Yard, which was wrong.

I had also made the yard as a TopGallant, which has been rectified.

Below are pictures of the new fit-out.

Main TopGallant brace Blocks added, tied to the front Shroud(either side)

 

Plenty more for the shipyard to get no with. Chop Chop.
