Thanks for point that you, I don't speak other languages, and didn't see it hiding.
It does make sense to have one.

Sorry, I could have explained it in more detail.
But it is correct as Stephan wrote.
The French term is "bouée de sauvetage".

Your level of detail of these little things most kits never offer as part of kit is outstanding.
I am learning a lot of rigging and ropework from your build log.
Just wish I could travel over and see the ship one day when complete.

@Y.T.
Hello,
it is normal high speed steel for lathe turning tools. I have not done any heat treatment, annealing or hardening. The discoloration comes from grinding, probably a bit overheated.
For these purposes it is sufficient.

Hello colleagues,
Thank you in advance for your kind feedback.
When I started the final rigging, I was a bit too optimistic...
Making more blocks for tackles for truss pendants, redirecting the braces, bowlines, etc.
Before I take the model out of the dust cover as announced and start the final rigging, I thought that it would be more clever to make the missing blocks so that I can then make the craft room dust-free.
This required a lot of research to get some clarity about various design details.
In particular, it was about making the tackles for the truss pendants of the lower yards. The truss pendants themselves are already attached to the lower yards. Later, when attaching the lower yards, the ends of the truss pendants have to be guided through the sheaves on the trestle trees. Then thimbles have to be tied into the ends, to which the rope tackles can then be hooked. This drawing from the Atlas de Génie Maritime illustrates the principle.

These tackles and other blocks with corresponding strops and thimbles, depending on the use, can be seen in the following picture.
Some time ago I also made a series of guide blocks, as shown below, which are hooked into the area of the belaying pin rails.
Accordingly, there shouldn't be too many blocks missing now. So I will now look through the rigging again using the monograph in conjunction with the pictures of the original model that I have available in order to capture as many blocks as possible. The tackles topsail halyards spring to mind and there are certainly still some deflection and guide blocks missing from the upper rigging.
With regard to the final rigging, I am wondering how the standing parts of the braces are correctly attached to the stays. There is certainly a specific way of attaching them (knots, banding, etc.). Unfortunately, I have not been able to find anything about this so far, neither in the specialist literature nor on the Internet.
I would therefore be very grateful if you could give me some advice.

Witaj
Jakość twoich bloczków, chaczykow jest niesamowita Johanie wiem ile czasu trzeba poświęcić na te drobiazgi które są ozdobą każdego modelu. Pozdrawiam Mirek
Hello
The quality of your blocks, chaczykow is amazing Johan I know how much time you have to spend on these little things that are the decoration of each model. Best regards Mirek

Thank you very much for the motivating words,
and thanks to the others for the LIKES.
Continuation: Making more blocks - topsail halyards
As already mentioned, there are still a few blocks to be made, including for the topsail halyards.

I made these single and double blocks again using the method shown so far. This method is not the most effective and has little to do with series production, but I am quite happy with the result.
In the next step I will complete the tackles of the topsail halyards (strops, ropes, hooks, eyebolts, spacers, etc.).
See you soon...
