Mast head block, jeers and mast head jeer block lashing. Again in beige so it's easier to see at this scale.

Stained black and double stropped, with a beige rigging cord, I prefer this method as it is easier to see what I'm doing before I stain it black.

I've decided we Endeavor builders have been slack! well, it is football final season. I finally sources some new double blocks from Poland at Clasic Model (which is were I believe that JB model got his before he disappeared from the World Wide webb). really nice product and good customer service. Time for the jeer Blocks.

I made bulkhead frames of the sheer line plans from the AOTS, then planked them over after waxing the edges so they would not stick. It made it far easier to do clinker planks that way. Once I have finished the masts and standing rigging I'll do the yards with the final boat being slung out with the mast and yard tackle. Then finally the anchors to hide the sins of the uneven foremast deadeyes ;-). Then maybe I'll get around to making a stand. The antique glass shop cabinet the admiral bought me (see previous posts) will be its resting place besides my dust covered Heller Victory which started this madness off.

I was planning to show my Endeavour a few years ago but needless to say I'm taking forever to finish (10 years now). I did join them once and have been to a few shows. Jano's parquetry was spectacular. I seem to be on night shift every year it's on so I keep missing it.

HM Bark Endeavour by UdoK - Caldercraft
RGL replied to UdoK's topic in - Kit build logs for subjects built from 1751 - 1800
Welcome to the Endeavour club! -
Lower mast stays completed. All of the stays were made on the Model Shipways ropewalk, and I wormed each of them with smaller thread. I made individual mice for each on my little jig. Futtock staves and catharpins added. I think it is time for the pain of ratlines.

Thanks gents, my plan is to have my Endeavor displayed lowering a ships boat and also drawing in one of the anchors using the fish hook Davit running off one of the mast tackles. As far as I can figure it, it will utilise two tackle running off the yards from the main mast and foremast. I think that it will have to use the 2 tackle off the mainmast stay. It just seems that if I use the foremast tackle it would get tangled in the shrouds. I admit I am basing this on Marquardt's book. He has no pendants only blocks off the lower masts. Thus my confusion. Greg

Too much? My wife bought this last night on an online auction for $130. I've been in a quandry for ages about building a glass cabinet, but this kind of solved it!

There are two references I found in Seamanship in th age of sail and one by marquardt. My quandry is that the Endeavour has lower mast tackle, so I am assuming that the two tackle on the main mast stay is used in conjunction with the tackle on the yards.

Can someone give me some guidance on how the Endeavour lowers it's ship's boats? I have numerous references using the yard tackle, but does it also sling off the stays or mast tackle? I'm sure someone here has been on the replica and seen it in action.
