Less than 24 hours after placing thousands (seriously thousands) of rigging blocks for sale on my site.... Yupp, you guessed it. Nearly sold out. Will be making more but seriously this was a lot of blocks. Keep checking back to see when they are restocked. It will take a while to get fully stocked at this level of demand. But I will do my best.

I have one LOL But I want cull out any bad or chipped blocks so it will be slow going. Chuck

I have them all. I just have to update the site and get them all packaged up. This includes a new larger size of 9/32” single double and triple blocks. Some sizes are in short supply for this initial batch but I have more on the way. Probably today and tomorrow I will have the packages up. I have lots of labels to stuff i to small bags for the packaging. That takes a while. chuck

Very nice progress. chuck
-
Getting close now.... Check my site regularly as I start to package these up later in the week. They have a bit of sawdust on them but I get them in bulk....so some dusting off before packaging them up is in order. A huge thank you goes out to Jack for his hard work these last six or seven months helping to make these a reality. He is a super knowledgeable guy when it comes to cnc.

Hudson River Sloop I am working on plans for a model of the HRS Amelia.... I have several projects going at the moment. Models from the Mystic Museum of various HR sloops for research and design purposes. The last photo is Portias Victorine.

Fishing is good right off the pier. Bluefish, blowfish, and the occasional sand shark. Playing cards but no sailing sadly. Lots of reading and research.

I am still at the beach!!! But the store is now reopened. All orders will be shipped on Monday. and from this deck with such a lovely view…been working on one of the new designs. There is only so much UNO you can play with the family in one week!! So a little design work on that Hudson River Sloop project seemed interesting while checking the crab traps every so often. A little Jimmy Buffet and some libations.

It looks good...its a little high but you should be OK. If you wanted to sand it down just a bit that would work...maybe 1/64" or 1/32" The other thing you could do is raise the transom height by just 1/64" as well. That would work too. But you should be good either way. Chuck

Yes indeed there will be.

I am so close to having blocks...the best available in stock on my website once again. I hope you will agree that the wait was well worth it. It shouldnt be long... I am going on vacation in a week or so but hopefully once I get back I can slowly start listing them as available. A much needed break down to the beach with my extended family. About 16 of us crammed into a house on the beach. Thanks for your patience in waiting for these...a small batch of each size initially but then more will follow pretty quickly I hope. Some sample photos.

Nicely done.

Gotta stay where the kids and family are… So the beach or near Long Beach Island New Jersey. But on the Bay side…Cant afford the ocean side for folks who know the area. Its very pretty and stress free…unless a hurricane hits, LOL. Just one of the areas we are looking…but essentially wherever the admiral decides…as long as I have a workshop I am happy. They liked this one but they change their minds a lot each time we look. I just go wherever they tell me drive..LOL
-
Thats where we will eventually be. The Admiral has me down there on weekends looking at potential new houses. With a little luck we will find a place where I can drop a few lines in the water in the early morning….and haul up some fresh crabs for lunch. its the Beach or bay in my future.

A mess….trying to restore as much as possible. We have the coffered ceiling too but sadly that may have to go. It has been pretty sucky this week but I see the light at the end of the tunnel. All just to sell it in the spring!!! No more old houses for me. Too old for this stuff. Plaster walls are a real mess. Again sorry for the delays restocking stuff.

Hey guys … Just a heads up. I am currently in the last phase of major renovations at my home and shop. One of the last things to be done is to update and replace all of the electric in my almost 150 year mess of a house. I must remove the knob and tube wiring. So without any electric for a few days I have to shut down the online store and shop. I wont be able to process orders. They say two and maybe 3 days max. ,LOL. Sorry for the inconvenience. Its a shame because I am now in the process of removing basically intact vintage wallpaper in my dining room. New wood floors going in today as well. So the shop hasnt been too busy. I cant easily work in there to replace stuff thats out of stock. The place is an absolute mess at the moment. See you guys when I come out the other end of this mess.
