Hi there I will apologise in advance for my question. Looking for diagrams on tying one and two hole blocks together. If that makes any sense I have tied the recess of the block but wanting to join the blocks together am I right in thinking I have to tie a knot above the block then go in through the hole then to the next block then I’m stuck. Thanks in advance
depending on where those blocks were used, the rigging will be different. Here are some blocks stropping

What I did here was went straight through the blocks hole and glued the thread and quickly pulled the thread to get the tension and waiting for the glue to set. Not ideal but I would like to know how to do it properly
Dose this help.
Hi there. I just want to join the 2 blocks together and not go down to the belaying pin.
Hi Sutty,
Is this the sort of thing ?
After looking at Photos in posts #5 and #6.
Tie above the first block then go through second block then through the first block and tie under the second block.

Yes, I have used this before, It is similar to tying the deadeyes except you you tie above and below the blocks.
Hi, just wondering what is the source of this page? It looks familiar but I can't remember where I saw it before.

Are you asking how to Strop the block, as secure it to rope which holds in in place on mast, hull or other objects?
Or how to run the rigging of the different block between two blocks or from a fixed line thru a block and down to a belaying pin or similar plan.

Sutty…please…never apologize for asking questions on the forum…no matter how basic they may seem! The Art of Rigging book might help you as it has a lot of diagrams. Bob Hunt on the website Lauckstreetshipyard.com has several practicums on rigging different models. They might be a helpful tool to use as he shows in detail how to rig blocks. Choose a practicum from the beginners group…The details of rigging are the same no matter the ship. But your question is important…if you have not gotten a good answer let us know and we will have another go at an answer.
