How to tie a block to a spar so it sits parallet to the spar

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.

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

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.
