I am in the process of building the Brig Niagara, I purchased hooks for my blocks from Syren, and I did not purchase enough. I have contacted them and they no longer carry these parts. I have searched the several different suppliers but have no been able to find and alternate supplier. Does anyone know where I could obtain additional quantities. In the past I tried making my own with brass wire but was not happy with the results.

 

Thanks

I looked at all the suggestions, Age of Sail has the 3mm hooks, but it also includes the deadeye strops at a small quatity (10). The Dafinismus.de web site has a large sheet of hooks with many sizes that  I do not need. In fact it does not look like any of them are the correct size.

I need about 75 to 100 hooks depending on how many go flying into the lost parts hole.

 

Thanks everyone.

I would like to thank Ondras71 for his suggestion to try Hismodel.com for my required hooks. They had reasonable prices and quick delivery.  8 days for international mail delivery.

Ron,

Please put the build photos and text into your build log as that's a more appropriate place.  Thanks.

I would also recommend 'dafi's' etch sheet which contains VAST numbers of hooks, eye-bolts, kleats etc in a wide variety of sizes.

Have a look on his web site, he has a range of etch at very good prices and quick delivery..

Put the commission cheque in the post, dafi LOL.

They look good indeed - apart from the price: six hooks for USD5 plus shipping 😳

 

I wonder, how they achieve the rounded effect, etching and then sandblasting ?
