Dan Vadas Posted June 26, 2015 Share #31 Posted June 26, 2015 Hi Al, thanks for referencing Syren as a supplier for thread. I'll soon be in need. I assume they have a web site. They sure do - check on the Index Page of MSW. They are owned by our own Chuck Passaro.

James Pitt Posted July 19, 2015 Share #32 Posted July 19, 2015 dan........there's a reason 70 year old neophytes like me appreciate guys like you.......you've been there, I do still have a tough time using CA on knots, it leaves a white residue, the diluted white glue is better but of course slower so I guess patience is the the bottom line james Canute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted July 19, 2015 Share #33 Posted July 19, 2015 Danny: your blocks look good for 18th century ones: modern ones are much less rounded off. If you have James Lees' book on rigging, you can see that the contemporary model photos show blocks that look like yours.
