Largest thing I managed without power was my last full size bench with a six inch thick top. That was slow to trim! wvdhee 1 Quote Simon.

It stays sharp for a long time and I'm sharpening it with water stones. Again, no power tools 😉 Quote Walter. Current build: HMS Flirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvdhee Posted April 28 Author Share #72 Posted April 28 Small question... in the plans is shown that these "A lines" start at a block.... And in the photos in the instruction manual there is indeed a stopper knot on one side of the blocks. I am more than happy to do that as well, but what is really the point or purpose of this?

TBlack Posted April 28 Share #73 Posted April 28 Those are the buntlines. If you were to add a sail to the yard, the line (knotted end) would be attached to the sail. Tom Blue Ensign, rvchima and wvdhee 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
