So the wife saw these wooden plant stands on Amazon and I said "I can make that out of my scraps cheaper".
So I did... I made a set... and I went one better and made a second set slightly taller.
They are collapsible for storage and reversible to vary the plant height.
What was it they said: If she doesn't find you handsome, you had better be handy!
Now back to sanding my hull.

...and possibly the final word with regards to the correct pronunciation...

I PM'd you the thickness Guide dwgs.
BTW - last night at the NRMSS meeting Kurt announced the NRG will possibly have a simplified version of the thickness guide for sale off the website store in April so you might want to wait a month and just buy one! It is of the style he uses.

What about using these replacement erasers on the end of a dowel?

Does the thumb screw on the end of the post move at all with the passing of multiple strips over time? Your and Michael's design has some merit to it.
My posting #1277 (8 JAN 22) in my build log shows an image with drawings I made. I'd be happy to send you a PDF copy. Kurt says the NRG are looking at selling a simplified version (mine was a combination of his and John's versions) sometime soon.... he is getting pricing for the bits and pieces. If I were to do mine again I'd likely make it at least 1/4" wider.

Sorry, I assumed most vessels from the late 1700's through the 1800's would be rigged somewhat similarly so all sailors would be familiar with it regardless what ship they transferred to. I am probably wrong.
I did not expect you to have the books I mentioned in your library, hence I asked if any information I had mentioned was of any interest to you. I understand it is not.
I hope someone knowledgeable steps up and you find what you are looking for!
Good luck Commander.

Have you Harold Underhill's "Masting and Rigging the Clipper Ship & Ocean Carrier" ?
Fold out Plate 51 (pages 281 through 290) show all 135 belaying points for all lines.
But I have not noticed any details on fife rail sheaves.
Edward Hobbs' " How to make Clipper Ship Models" has very informative fold out standing and running rigging plates (III & IV)
But once again nothing noticed regarding fife rail sheaves.
Wolfram zu Mondfeld's "Historic Ship Models" pg 310 has a figure showing the lowest heaviest yard halyard running down to a ramshead block where it and the sheave in the fife rail act as a block and tackle system to provide additional mechanical advantage to raise/lower the yard.
Are an of these of interest to you?

It is interesting for the purist to note that none of the ropes are BLACK or WHITE.
Even the 4 strand tarred rope is not BLACK.
