This is just so much fun. Late getting started...second cup of coffee  plus Gobsmacked by @Keith Black sunshine  picture,  I slowly started ratlines.  Finished the Mizzen  , got all the main and formast  marked out ready to go. The 20251029_114402.thumb.jpg.6b446f062c30a84d92087dfc62ba30df.jpgmost important thing for me to remember  is tie the ratlines at the top of the mark. After  I tar them  they will look good.

Hopefully by the end of the day the lower ratlines  will be finished. 

Big thanks to all who have  showed me how to tie ratlines,  I might side track to the Futtock shrouds,  if I get to frustrated,  I will tie a few rats 🐀

 I might even put the upper  Mizzen shrouds and ratlines on.  😁. Weeeee!!

On to the upper shrouds and ratlines,  then the bowsprit mast needs to be rigged.

A couple of days, then I need to start making the yards. 

Things are going fantastic,  ratlines  will do that to you lol.

Really  taking  my time now, I want to rig it just right.

Futtock shrouds and upper ratlines are next up.

Thanks for peeking in,   :cheers:

My Catharpins on the foremast are a bit shaky, lol. The hands are definitely shaking today, but a little  ca helps, Once tared they will look fine.

I am going to rig the upper  shrouds  on the main mast then I will do the Catharpins on the main mast. After that I will tie the Mizzen mast up, then do the Catharpins, that should give me enough time in-between each Catharpins.

So jig on the main upper shrouds, ratlines to follow. Kurt doesn't seem to understand my fasanation with rat lines 😁. The upper shrouds are tied on ready  to go,

 I picked up this little  vise to help me with the yards, awhile back I saw this here on one of the logs, I was not paying attention to who posted but I liked it so ordered one, 20 bucks and you get drill bits and a pin vise so for me good deal. I needed the bits anyway. 

  Shrouds and ratlines,  I am on cruise control,  full speed ahead.   😎
