how to rig blocks

Great Pictures, I am not at this point in my build yet but for some reason it seems to always be in the back of my mind. not sure if its the dread of making a mess of the rigging. I agree this can go the right way or totally wrong i will keep these Pictures as reference if needed, which book are you using as reference thanks for posting.

hi, thanks for your nice words. These images/pics are not from a specific book but have been collected over m, many years. there are even some real photos.
I have many more- over 50 years of building -I have complete Riggen both in UK and Spanish both running and standing. Sails, how to make them and rig them and much more.
If you or any other need some info just ask. I will not be that active in the future- seak wife and I myself going to be 80.
 
This is the last shipment of blocks and Riggen, To me, these small things are important to Newcomers and not newcomers. Bad or wrong rigged Blocks, Deadeyes do not parallel etc can ruin a in others well build model.

כשמתחילים לעבוד על דגמים עדינים, במיוחד של ספינות עץ היסטוריות, פתאום מבינים עד כמה הפרטים הקטנים כמו קשירת בלוקים וחיבור החבלים הם אלה שקובעים את התוצאה הסופית. השבוע ישבתי בשעות הערב על פרויקט הדגם שלי, וניסיתי להשיג דיוק מרבי בדיוק בזה, כי חבל לא ישר או גלגלת עקומה פשוט הורסים את כל המראה. בין לבין, כשהייתי צריך קצת לקחת הפסקה ולנוח מכל העבודה המאומצת והריכוז, יצא לי לקרוא על קוקסינליות בראשון לציון וזה העביר לי את הזמן בכיף. בסופו של דבר, סבלנות, דיוק והשקעה בפרטים הקטנים הם הסוד להצלחה בכל תחום.
