I have also ordered Soren blocks for my ship, not that I need them at the moment. The reason they have two holes per sheave is to simulate the sheave. I lack a picture, but if you look up ships block or something you may be able to see his on a real sail ship. Blocks are just another word for pulley on a ship, and they were used as pulleys. You only use the farther one because the wood in the center is the spinning wheel. If you used the close one, the rope would be trying to pass over hard wood at the bottom of the block. That would be much more difficult to pull than over the wheel in the center

Lots of more homework this week. It is near the end of the year, so it is understandable. I wish it wasn't a higher priority than modeling
! Thanks for all the compliments, I enjoy them!

Sal, you had me scared for a moment! I'm glad you were joking, but please don't do that again
! Let's see the case!
P.s. Congratulations on the award! You should put it in the case next to the model!
