Don't worry Max you followed the instruction sheet it does show them going forward.Have a look at other finished Endeavour builds to see how they have done it.ron. -
Those chainplates gave me headaches but finally got them o.k.

Great job on the sails and good luck for the shrouds,i must say I like doing shrouds when you get a good result.Merry xmas and happy new year.I'm in Kenya on holiday for a month so my Endeavour workers are on leave until next year.

Hi Greg,By the last one the novelty had worn off.Just the topmast rats etc to go after more deadeyes arrive.
-
Lower ratlines done.Stays or upper shrouds next, who knows.I don't want to attach the bowsprit yet it got in the way a lot on my last one.

Thanks Frank and J Lombard and for all the likes.A while ago a lot of peoples photos didn't appear or got wiped out.I managed to add them now using the edit feature,i'll go back and add the other missing ones sometime.Page 6 is the second planking,just give the second planking a very light sanding as they are very thin.Post a build log and you can get great advice on you build.I spend more time looking at others Endeavours than working on mine.ron.

I settled on 7mm spacing for the ratlines,i have enjoyed doing them so far.Onto the port side now.

Great job Dave,i don't think my fingers could do that.
-
Thanks for your advice Pat,Max and Steve.I haven't looked ahead to the sails yet.Thats a good way to do the catharpins,i'll see how mine go when I fix the futtock shrouds on.
-
printfreegraphpaper.com is the one I found,thanks a lot Pat.I'll use the quarter inch size that gives me 6mm spacing which is perfect.
-
Thanks a lot Pat.Mine is 1:54 so i'm thinking 6 or 7mm now.
-
Next job is the futtock shrounds then,ratlines.Has anyone got suggestions for ratline spacing,i was thinking 10mm between them might be o.k.Going with Pat's option 3 diagram for the layout.thanks.ron.

Sounds like the same builders as here,the neighbour has had the drive re-done 3 times,their roof creaks now.

Hi Slog, hope you are in your house now.They must have brought every piece of wood via Darwin to Perth..
-
Thanks Dave,you will do fine you've done a fantastic job already,take your time and only think about one thread at a time.

Hi Steve,just about to do my main mast shrouds.Are there 6 shroud lines and 2 back stays or 7 shroud lines,thanks Ron.
