guitarguy687 Posted May 28, 2013 #1 Posted May 28, 2013 Model-Expo used to carry a plastic reeving and spacing tool (see link) http://www.modelexpo-online.com/product.asp?ITEMNO=MS107 Does anyone know if I can get a hold of one of these, or something similar anywhere? Not sure if I want to tackle trying to make something similar from scratch, but if anyone has tips along that line it would be great too. Anyone have one that your not using, and would like to sell me??? -Thomas "If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea."

slagoon Posted June 2, 2013 #3 Posted June 2, 2013 I'd say it falls under the category of tools that you can make at home....I made one for the specific size I needed on my Harriet lane from just some scrap wood I had lying around... here's a link to where I show it... http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/495-harriet-lane-by-slagoon-model-shipways-scale-1144-1857-steam-paddle-cutter/?p=20728 and http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/495-harriet-lane-by-slagoon-model-shipways-scale-1144-1857-steam-paddle-cutter/?p=22881 Seriously, it took about 10 minutes to build my two parts of my jig. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -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
Martin W Posted June 3, 2013 #4 Posted June 3, 2013 Thomas -- here's another link: http://www.castyouranchorhobby.com/item--Reeving%20Tool--43030 But after looking at Sarah's jig, I say go that route! Buying tools is always fun, but figuring out a way to make do with what you've got can be even more fun.
