Chuck Seiler Posted June 7, 2021 Author #123 Posted June 7, 2021 I continue to struggle with blocks and deadeyes. I have made 8 attempts at mounting the deadeyes and have only 1 that is somewhat acceptable. Attached still needs some trimming. Continuing... Meanwhile, those of you following the various cog builds know there has been some discussion about the integrated ladder leading up to the forward castle. As built in this model, it appears very awkward to get from the ladder into the castle. For this and other reasons I decided to add a new ladder. Hey, when you have a ladder company as a sponsor, why not? Some local bathers are waiting for the ladder to open so they can use the diving board.
