aligning shroud deadeyes

[Mjohn]

I am building a Bluejacket Dowdoin (1/4" : 1').  I'm just at the point of installing the standing rigging.

I'd like the shroud deadeyes to be nearly parallel to each other when I attach the deadeyes to the chainplates.

Can anyone suggest a jig to hold the deadeyes in place while rigging the shrouds?

Thanks

I used a jig taken from the Model Shipways Instruction booklet.

Is this what your looking for?

I am not sure if this is what your after, but here is a jig I made for attaching the upper dead eyes to the lower ones and to keep them level. Good luck and I hope you find what your looking for. best of luck.

This is what I was looking for.

I just use two staple-like clamps made from springy steel wire.
