I find this one of the most frustrating parts of rigging. Not just the deadeyes but the blocks.

My solution was to use a needle threader (raided my wifes sewing box) to "pull" rather than "push" the thread through the blocks. The threader is small enough to use amongst the rigging without too many problems.

Thanks for the additional info Gil.Cool

That`s a neat way of threading the blocks/deadeyes.

Combining the jig with the threading tool should make the job a lot easier.
