Card Rigging question

[slagoon]

I'm trying to continue working on my card model - the fishkutter GO-28... anyway I reached the time where it asked me to make the Gilson Line Tackle, and it is like the language has changed from english to klingon... grrrr

Please help me

Well.. the most I could find was this for "Gilson Block":

And if you scroll down to the definitions section, here's what Transport Canada has to say:

I guess you're just supposed to make a pair of them, with multiple sheaves..

Thanks for the pics...those are nice to know what they look like....but I'm still not sure how to make one

[realworkingsailor]

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...

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.

I used to work on odds and ends for my ship models at lunchtime at work. Gotta lotta funny looks

 

Sorry work is so weird. I'm still glad I retired before the s**t hit the fan.

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...)

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.
