HIPEXEC Posted April 11, 2019 Author #948 Posted April 11, 2019 I'm starting to plan to fabricate deadeyes. I discovered the holes in my "new" deadeyes are so small I can't get a decent size line through them without drilling them out. Next, I realized that the new deadeyes have no depth. They are half the thickness of some old deadeyes I have. I'm going to have to purchase different deadeyes since I can't work with theses. Oh well?

GuntherMT Posted April 11, 2019 #949 Posted April 11, 2019 Rich - those deadeyes are a kit. Go to the website and find the instructions to assemble them, there are three pieces to each deadeye and when complete they will look great but they do require a little bit of assembly and finish work. You should not be removing the individual bits from the parts sheet until three sheets are glued together. src 1 Quote Brian Mystery project coming soon!

src Posted April 11, 2019 #950 Posted April 11, 2019 Rich, once you download the instructions Gunther referenced you’ll see how easy they are to assemble. Each sheet of 21 parts makes 7 deadeyes. I found that it is possible to reverse a face and get the relief slots reversed. A dot of wood glue is all you need. I did find I had to clean glue out from the holes before I could run my lanyards. A reamer from micro mark worked wonders without splitting the deadeye. Sam JesseLee and Javlin 2 Quote Current Build Constructo Enterprise
HIPEXEC Posted April 16, 2019 Author #951 Posted April 16, 2019 I just received new deadeyes from Amati and they are very high quality.

HIPEXEC Posted April 23, 2019 Author #953 Posted April 23, 2019 I rig my shrouds differently than most. I make jigs and pre-make the deadeyes. I use a bent paperclip bent to size and use a dab of CA glue to make a needle point of the rigging cord. I make a small knot at the end and thread it . Then I paint the back with PVA glue to hold it all in shape. I then install the chainplates with the deadeyes. When that's done I rig the shroud.
