Hi, well the 3 hole violin block  thing will do , I got this done except the tieing of  the rigging  lines all are run but not tied. I found the end of my rope had to make a few adjustments  but this is what's left wow

I really am having fun on my first build, I thought rigging would be done soon but it is tuff, any way lovin it I even ordered LANina and the Pinta from Amati so I can have all three by the same maker. They will be here soon their coming over the ocean now lol. Well that's all  I must be doing something right I am going to run out of rope lol,Rigging at the end of my rope lol.

    Well that's all I got today.  Thanks everyone.

This is how it looks now, got to do the three hole violin blocks, which I have broken both one with the drill and one with the pin, Trying to make the holes bigger then realized, use a smaller rope lol, got them fixed now will put it together hopefully.

More rigging lol

Rat lines done , not making the little ladder for the top to climb  in they can slip in under lol

Now I started rigging,wow is there ever a lot of ropes and knots lol I have to  look at others builds to figure where they all go but making good progress I think, following the plan like I have seen here before.

 I would like to just thank everyone here at MSW  for put up with my typoes and odd questions  lol,  My ship is coming along nicely and with a bit of luck will finish  soon.   To many people that I have to thank. Emmet  and Lapinas I practically  lived on those two build they are so good. Then  I found   Katsumoto log he helped with rat lines  I did good for my first time  also that's were I got the sail ideal from.  Thanks so much .   Then there is MLMossop build that I got the ideal for the life boat, and so on anon thanks everyone  

Very much. The people here have help me pull this off, can't  thank you enough   🙏  THANKS lol

Well this is how I made the sails, I have done some other work too but will post later. This is just the sails. Hope I explain it right.  First, stained the sails in coffee, tried tea but I did not think it was enough color change. Soaked in coffee one minute then let dry over night.

 

The little strip is the original  color.

Then she sewed the rope on, I put wire in on the sides of the sails only to make it look like in the wind hope it works lol

  Because it my first ship will stick with supplied  sail next time will try something different, but these look good.

If I could write a better log I would but not that good on computer, pictures don't line up with the story but the picture tell a thousand stories lol. Great logs on MSW make it easier  to see how it done .

   this is all I have done so far, made the dead eyes for the other side too it coming along well I am happy with it, Life boat was fun, rigging is hard to do with big hands but I am loving it thanks so much all for you inspiration.

thanks everyone

Made them lose then tighten then attached to the ship now ready for rat lines

Was looking around MSW today welcoming new members. then looked at the dates they were from 5 years ago lol stick to what you know Bob lol, any way here are a few up dates  I really have to thank MSW for all the help at first I thought you cant do this but people here have so much knowledge  and skill that if I run into problems I can find a way to fix it here.

  Never thought this would be this fun, making a ship from a set of plans, planking ,rigging, sail making. I know I will be a builder of ships the rest of my life lol.

  So first, this is how I did my shroud lines and dead eyes  i spaced the dead eyes for easy threading then double checked even triple checked to see if it the right distance for dead eyes
