Finished the mizzen shrouds and made a start on the ratlines but my back gave in so called it for today.

 

[Bri62]

Home straight but again my back is complaining, so only did a few will finish the lower ratlines tomorrow. Had to get the coffee table out to lower the work surface which makes it a little easier



1197 clove hitch knots and counting

I may have said this before - but those bedrolls look really great all lined up like that. Way to go Brian!

 

[Bri62]

I guess you can't see but all lower ratlines are done (not sorry)

Did you replace your sander? Reason I ask is that I'm currently looking at both the Proxxon as well as a larger Axminster but am wondering if the Axminster will just shred tiny pieces.
Your Victory is looking more and more splendid by the day.

That's exactly why I changed the sander small items just vanished with the Axminster sander the Proxxon is better for my needs
