IgorSky Posted July 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Many thanks, Jeff! Yesterday I tried another technology for making blocks. This block has a pulley and its length is 2.5 mm. Perhaps for someone this information will be useful. Now I want to try to make a smaller block using this technology. Also I need to make double and triple blocks.

bluenoser Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) As a point of interest, the Jolie Brise will be in Halifax on July 29th to Aug 1st of this year. I hope to get onboard and have my book by Thad Koza signed . Edited July 28, 2017 by bluenoser punctuation error IgorSky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgorSky Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Many thanks, friends for yours feedback! Did you manage to see this boat in Halifax, bluenoser? For almost a month I did not post updates, though, the work was quietly conducted. Now I will make up for lost time So, the next stage of the construction was the making the railings. I have, if possible, delayed this stage, because I prefer to install them whenever possible, so as not to interfere with the work. Racks of railings I cut from medical needles. In the gunwale I drilled holes for them. I screwed a very thin wire rings with legs to paste them into the upper ends of the posts and then stretch the railings through the rings.

IgorSky Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Then I made the strip with stops and installed a couple more blocks at the stern. John Zuch, IOAN and Bernard Kelly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorSky Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Then I cut out of from the tea bag a grid for the bowsprit and fixed it in place (without final fixation for now) JesseLee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorSky Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Next, I made the hawse-holes for the anchor rope from the pieces of the medical needle and fixed them in place. JesseLee, Bernard Kelly and IOAN 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorSky Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Then I decided to make the fife rail, on which the running ends of the gaff will be fixed. In the original, this is a kind of metal band with nests for nagels, but I decided to make this part easier, because All the same it will not be visible under to the skeins of the ropes.

IgorSky Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Then I wound a few skeins of rope with a simple device and hung them around the nagels JesseLee, Donald, John Zuch and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgorSky Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Then I made a couple of belaying pin planks for the stern of the boat and installed them in their places. Then I tried to stretch a loop from the thread between the plank and the board. In the future, I plan to use such loops to guide rigging in hard-to-reach places inside the bottle.

IgorSky Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Then I missed the mainstay through the racks of the lower front sail and tested it on. IOAN, Bernard Kelly, John Zuch and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
