realworkingsailor Posted April 12, 2013 Share #2 Posted April 12, 2013 Well.. the most I could find was this for "Gilson Block": http://www.fis.com/polyice/blocks.html And if you scroll down to the definitions section, here's what Transport Canada has to say: http://www.tc.gc.ca/publications/en/tp9912/pdf/hr/tp9912e.pdf I guess you're just supposed to make a pair of them, with multiple sheaves..

slagoon Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted April 20, 2013 Thanks for the pics...those are nice to know what they look like....but I'm still not sure how to make one Quote ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Sarah Current Build: Krabbenkutter CUX-87 Harriet Lane Fishcutter GO-38 In the Wings: Corel Victory Cross section Completed Build: USS Missouri HMS Bounty's Jolly Boat Peterboro Canoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realworkingsailor Posted April 20, 2013 Share #4 Posted April 20, 2013 I dunno either.. the first part of the instructions makes sense.. but then the rest of it... Waugh! I've tried searching online for variou iterations of Gilson Tackle.. Gilson Block, Gilson Winch..etc... Lot's of old rust.... not much information.... Sorry...

slagoon Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted April 21, 2013 thanks for trying - sounds like you got the same stuff as I was finding. I'll just leave the question out here - I don't think I'll get any work done on that one this week....things are weird at work - I can get away with on the computer stuff like this - but not building my card models...to much chance of an exec walking in. If you follow real sized aviation you'd probably be able to figure out why. avsjerome2003 and realworkingsailor 2 Quote ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Sarah Current Build: Krabbenkutter CUX-87 Harriet Lane Fishcutter GO-38 In the Wings: Corel Victory Cross section Completed Build: USS Missouri HMS Bounty's Jolly Boat Peterboro Canoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you follow real sized aviation you'd probably be able to figure out why. I'm surprised you've got time to do anything hobby-like at all, if the thing to which you are referring to is the thing of which I am thinking... hopefully things will go better for you soon enough... Out of simple curiosity... since you live on the west coast.. why not saunter down to the warf and see if one of the local fish mongers has any idea? (If you have the time, of course...)

SKID Posted May 1, 2013 Share #8 Posted May 1, 2013 Sarah, I am no expert but I will toss in my take on what the directions are telling you what to do. Let me know if the drawing makes sense to you.
