Thank you very much everyone for the kind birthday wishes!!! I truly appreciate it .
Couple of pictures showing status of the foremast shroud rigging in progress.
I'll comeback at a later time and do the final tension adjustment and finish the deadeye lashing.

Hello everyone. As I previously mentioned before, I am not 100% following the rigging guidelines set out by the authors of the book "Royal Yacht Caroline 1749".
I, along with many others see glaring & multiple discrepancies. I am going by the Rigging guidelines set out by James lee and some other references as well. Multiple sources show Shrouds being mostly made of Shroud Laid Rope. I have attached a few pics showing the difference between Cable Laid and Shroud Laid Rope for comparisons.

That is an extremely helpful rigging tutorial. 
OH wow Rick. Happy belated birthday. Cheers Grant
