NenadM got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in Cutty Sark by NenadM
Alternative dead eyes, max 4mm dia ...
My madness don't allow me to by parts, so, great problem are dead eyes 3-4 dia. Making them from wood with three holes ... not to throw appart, not possible for me.
And idea comes. Tested today succesfully.
Three brass pipes 1mm inside dia, soldered in triangle. When it get cold, cut pieces thick 1mm, clean holes. You can paunt them in desired colour. Rest - rigging them is classical path.
This is just a test, and ropes are not adequate, knots too

There is one question that made my mind fluffy ... dead eyes 3-4mm dia ... from different reasons I don`t want to order and to by them ... at another side, to make them from wood - impossible mission for me. So - what to do?
And idea comes after couple months braking my head
On photos I present only idea and testing of idea, with non-adequate ropes and knots
I found brass pipes with inside dia 1mm and 2mm ... and thinking ... oneo to other, I have got 3-4mm outer dia ...
Soldering three of them in triangle form
Cut this structure on desired width and clean holes, and I got this!
Playing arround with first "rope" I found in home, just to try
Ok, it can be painted ....
And just testig does it work
And I think this will be final soolution for me

Was the impossibility of making them out of wood that you had referred to based upon drilling correctly spaced holes? You could also use the metal deadeyes you made as templates to pass a pin-vice through in order to create perfectly spaced holes in a blank of wood the thickness you desire, then carefully sand the wood blank to shape around the outside. I've been using boxwood strips to make things lately, and it's been great to work with. It can be held between your fingernails while you sand it, and it's hard enough that your fingernails don't "dent" it while you are sanding (I look through a cheap magnifying unit while working). If there are dents, they will be shallow and can be sanded out pretty quicky.

Not a bad idea at all ... but you also need a groove for the shroud on the outside, which you probably can file.
If you actually needed round dead-eyes (as per 17th century onwards), you could solder three smaller pipes into a larger one.
On the other hand, if you don't like wood for them, you could also cut disks from a brass- or styrene- or acrylic rod and then drill the three holes in a simple drilling jig.

I hope so Rob, it is a good start. I would not remake the mast based on this as this part will be below deck any way.
I would temporarily set the mast in place and mark the height for the deck level, mast foot, this ring and the spider ring.
The ring NenadM has made is a good template for the Spider ring so this can be drilled out for the pin mounts.
The mast can then be reassembled and nobody will be any the wiser of the initial slip up.

Hi, Simon
I am not sure for now, should I make mast again. So, untill I decide, I practice and try to find a way "how to ..."
