  1. Reversing some masking tape on a block of wood makes a handy place to stick the rigging blocks while the glue dries.
  2. A block of wood with an alligator clip holds a small square of wax paper making a handy glue pot, just drill a small indentation in the wood.
  3. Came up with an easy way to rig the deadeyes that were close to the hull making it impossible to get a needle threader between the deadeye and the hull. Just tie a 3 or 4 inch loop with a knot at the end then use the needle threader to pull the loop outward, then use the loop to pull in the line that has to go through. Here are a couple of pics of it.
  4. Footropes are completed and yardarms are attached - made a jig to hang the yardarms from with alligator clips this works to help level them and keeps them in position while the glue dries.
  5. Making slow progress working on the rigging when time permits, Ratlines are finally done & don't want to see another clove hitch for a while. Had some railing posts and brass left over from the Danmark and used them on the mast platforms. Netting was from a flower arrangement donated by the first mate.
  6. White card stock placed behind the shrouds makes tying the clove hitches for the ratlines easier to see. Hope to get going on the remaining ratlines soon.
