Although I did not not get one, I remember some of you bought a small contraption for rigging the 'deadeyes', I think it was to ensure the distance between them was uniform and also making the job easier. however, since the 'deadeyes' are fitted to the chainwales, is it still possible to use the machine? It may be possible if they are not fitted to the ship!
I'm nowhere near that stage for fitting the shrouds, but it looks to be a 'fiddly' job doing 'in situ' on the ship. I thought we may have been able to rig the 'deadeyes' and 'shrouds' to the 'chainwales' and finish them off by fitting to the ship then tying the shrouds off at the mast.
The way it's done in the oficial build diary looks a bit 'out of control' but if that's the way it has to be!
Any thoughts on this would be most welcome

P.s. I did not glue the masts together earlier on so as to give me room to fasten the shrouds.
