Yes Gabe definitely look at @Katsumoto log it's fantastic. I only found his log when I was almost finished my Santa Maria. His work and how he explains it was really helpful. He really made me up my game on knot tying. It shows on my Pinta. It's way better but I still got lots to learn. He is a master that's for sure. And he might be able to help you Pick up the pace lol Give'er

Well just a little up date. This is so much fun, having the time of my life these days. Starting to understand my computer better, now just got to learn how to spell and read more carefully. This is all the instructions for the shrouds, ratlines and plates for the deadeyes , Fig 70. I could have used a little more guidance here but have learned how to read Amati instructions so should be a walk in the park . Lol after that step it's the sails.lol. I think this will take me awhile. But I am up for the shrouds and rat lines. I have seen shrouds and ratlines done several different ways. I have my own method, I make the shrouds first then tie them on. After they are in its the ratlines. Best installed when singing the tune 99 ratlines on the wall, 99 ratlines lol. I took a few pictures of were the ship stands now. I kept breaking the bowsprit mast off Three times finally I said what are you trying to tell me here. After studying the plan I discovered it was in the wrong place. I had it resting on the bow when in fact it is supposed to be one inch up from the bow. Glued it in the right spot retried the Bowsprit gammoning, and have not knocked it off since. Like I said starting the rigging and seizing, ratlines. Then I have two Bitts to put on lol. Thanks for all the looks and likes. everyone

Securing Ropes Wrapped Around Masts
Knocklouder replied to acaron41120's topic in Masting, rigging and sails
Hello, I use a drop of super glue, wrap it around and another drop , then tuck in the ends careful to much stains the rope. Then 50-50 mix of white glue and water . It's not the right way but it works for me. You could look on utube for Paul Lester Mayflower build he shows how to tie off the bindings. hope it helps -
Good luck on your journey, Kevin.

Green pair bottom right of the orange pair, or the yellow pair left of the orange ones in the right hand corner as well . It's going to be epic 😎 either way.
