You guys building the Aggy have me wanting to start saving my pennies to buy the kit. Of course I am years away from a having the skill to build it so I have plenty of time to save the pennies.

Nice serving machine Sjors, and nice stays and nice shrouds, and nice everything!  It's all much too complicated for me but an enjoyment to watch.

Today I received my last rope that I needed for the rigging.

Nope, I'm not starting right away !!!!!!!!

I have a question for all of you.

At the end of the post you will see a picture of the rope that I'm gonna use for the fore and preventer stay.

I know that those stay's has to be served.

But........it's almost a shame to hide that nice figure rope under n other ,thinner rope.

So my question is.....can I just leave it as it is ?

No served stays.

Or is that the same as starting an ice company at the North pole....... ;)

I will served the shrouds what is needed.

I will wait for all your fine answers.......

Sjors, I'm not too sure those stays would have been served, only the end where it loops around the mast where the end loop goes over the mouse to prevent chafing.  So think you can proceed with confidence :D Very nice rope by the way.

That's some good-looking rope. Like Jason, I don't think the entire stay would be served, like the shrouds are.

I thought that they have to be served from beginning till end.....

Thanks Jason and George for your input.

I will wait what others have to say.

I still have no time to start the rigging.... :(  :(

Sjors, what a nice rope. Like the others said, stays were served just to a point a bit further where the mouse is.

There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.

Thanks Ulises !

 

You give a very nice example !

So I will do it that way.

And yes, also the mouse get his/her rope......

The rope is coming from Morope in Germany.

I only have to secure the end of the rope with glue.

I try a little bit and it works great !

I hope I can start on sunday.( or Anja has to be other plans for that day....)

There am I again.

 

I have tried serving the rope for the stay's but that's not possible.......

Because there are a few ropes that turn in each other.

I have the difficulty that when I put the rope into the machine, the rope will not turn when I use the crank.

I put the rope taut.

I'm afraid that I damage the rope when I continue.

And it looks just great.

So I think I will have stay's which are not served.

Its your build Sjors, whatever you do will be perfect.

As far as the rope not rotating when you turn the crank, I am assuming you are anchoring it to the nails that go in the end of the diamond parts? Otherwise it sounds like your gears are not meshing. I had to epoxy mine to the brass twice as the first time I tested before the epoxy was fully cured and the bond broke. Perhaps you have the same situation?

Sjors... why not serve them by hand? I would never buy a serving machine when I can do that job by hand very easily. I place two alligator clips at a certain distance, put the line taut between them, and with a spool of thread in my hand start serving. It really is very simple.

There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.

@ Sam,

 

That is not the problem.

The rope is very long and because I have to fix it before I cut the length is it impossible to let it turn with the crank.

When I take short pieces of rope there is to much that I have to trow away and I find that a shame of the rope.

But thanks for thinking with me  :D  :D  :D

 

@ Ulises,

 

You give a nice , sunday morning job.....but it is not working for me !

I tried everything and nothing worked.

So my stay's don't get serving but only seizing.....

The rope is not that bad to look at it.

For the rest....happy Eastern and don't eat to much eggs !!!!!!!
