Reeving deadeyes question...

Moving along on my Bluenose and currently building the chainplates and deadeyes.

 

My question is should I reeve the two (top and bottom) deadeyes before attaching them to the chainplates? Seems to me this would be easier to do before.

 

Thoughts, advice and opinions welcome.

  Interesting idea.  I have never heard of such a method, but if you give it a try it will be interesting to see and hear about your results. Always room for new ideas here, that's for sure!!!    I see problems in being able to assemble the lower deadeye to the chain plate and the shroud to the upper deadeye and securing them if they are preassembled as the lanyard maybe annoyingly in the way.   Also, as every shroud is a different length as well as the lanyards due to the angle change of each shroud, getting these aligned may be tricky.

PLEASE take 30 SECONDS and sign up for the epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series.   Click on http://trafalgar.tv   There is no cost other than the 30 seconds of your time.  THANK YOU
