    More and more blocks.  And also some more rope coils. This time it's the fore mast.  A similar pic is of the main mast Belaying pin racks. Not the most exciting part of the build but it all adds up.

    My little snaplock container seals my rigging glue and does a great job. Every now and then I replace with fresh batch of 50:50 white glue and water.

    Violin blocks on the lower main and lower fore yards. The rest are normal blocks large and small. 
    Still have to attack blocks on the ends of the mid and top yards.

    .  When I have done this, I put drops of white glue on the shrouds, and then,  lay a small piece of line across the drops of glue on the shrouds
    to form the ratline, wiggle it a bit from side to side to pick up the glue, and it will stay in place until the glue dries if not disturbed.
     
    I can make a pic, if this is not clear.

    I use a wood glue called tightbond. It has all of the properties of wood glue but it sticks real fast. Faster than your normal carpenters Wood glue. It helps alot.

    Hey Anton. Hopefully the decision making is going well. And the carved lions heads coming along great. Things have certainly slowed down on my Friesland. But still plodding along.
