I think maybe this is what you are looking for Mo. I usually sieze everything, thats the coil round the rope,so that you have got that little bit of flexability. I used to drill a hole through the dowel ,insert the block and wrap the rope round once and then glue. I dont do that now, well only sometimes ,it keeps it all neat. I sieze the fitting lay it upright against its position, wrap the tail round once just below the sieze and double back in the opposite way and then glue. Remember the plan is only a guide and the straight lines are just there for positioning and not the real deal. I will post a couple of pics to let you get an idea.

Well done MO. Looks good. the size of the drill bit you are using will also make a difference. Smaller drill bit, smaller size seizing.

Hi Mo,
Great work Mo I do find close work appealing, it makes all the diference to the finish.

Doing the lugs to the foremast now, and putting the round ball to the top of the masts.





Again for shaping the masts, I put a cross saw draft in the bottom of the mast.



Inserted the steel rule in to the draft, keeping the rule level, it gave me a level to work to at the other end, to ensure the flats were in line with each other.


Making the last crosstrees for the small mast at the rear.



I lost or misplaced one of the caps for joining the top two masts together, so had to make a new one, out of some scrap's, don't throw anything away in this game,


And lastly, but not least, did you notice Admin have given me my Blue Medal.
