Hi all just thought I would post a tip on how to tie halyard blocks
I made a jig to hold the blocks so I have two hands free
Place the block on the pins and glue the 0.25 mm thread to the block with CA glue and rap the ends round so they meet
Next take the 0.5 mm thread and make a knot round the thicker rope and glue with a drop of CA
The next job is to rap the thinner thread round to make the wrappings do this as many times as you need
Then glue the free end and trim
This is my way of doing it but there is lots of others out there
Hope this helps rgd Martyn
Ps it also works on one hole blocks
