RGL got a reaction from Captain Slog in HMB Endeavour by RGL -FINISHED - Artesania Latina
I've finally got all the sundry blocks ready to go for the main and fore yards. I noticed when i added the lifts that gravity plays no part in these small ships, so i have used the slab line to act as gravity and will brace the lifts and jeers.

The Gaff's running rigging. whilst it will be bare poled, l've decided to add as much running rigging as possible.

Attaching the yards to the masts. I thought I'd start front to back then thought that the braces would just not work unless I went the other way around. It makes for ease of access at least. The two main yards lash up quite well but it is tricky getting the parrels attached. the mizzen mast uses rope slings which become fiddly when lashing then through an eyehole.

From sticks to very complex sticks. The yards are now complete, with over 107 stropped blocks by back is a little sore.

The last one! The cross jack yard. The little ring on the block is for the clew line.

The Gaff. I did the entire thing from scratch as you can see the AL Yoke would have never worked. 5 to go.

As I move on with the yards, the blocks are getting smaller, and essentially I'm not very good at stropping blocks. I had a bit of an idea how to do it better. I got a bit of offcut dowel that would suit the radius that I needed. I cut a notch in it. I then hand served about a foot of .25mm cord and wrapped it around, held with a small pair of self closing tweezers, tied it off 3 times (the block is 3.5mm so fiddly). Using a bit of brass wire to hold the block I affixed the served ring with some CA, then tied off the block with cord and a small touch of CA. It worked!

The Parkin book is a dual volume with the endeavours log and a book of poster side prints. No where near as detailed as the AOTS.
