Now I am making forestays, musings on them and stay guards. The process of making musings is described in sufficient detail in the Anatomy of Longridge, and I use this technology.
I made a conical-shaped part from an ebonite rod, which is shown in the figure. In the center of the cone I drilled a hole slightly larger than the diameter
forestay A fairly fine needle was then threaded with black Clark button thread and passed up through the hole between the stay.
and a cone. Then the needle was brought down over the cone and passed through again
hole until there was a sufficient number of vertically running threads outside the cone. There should be an odd number of them, so they need
recalculate. After the vertical threads have been placed, begin to pass the thread with the needle in a horizontal direction, alternately passing from above
and from the bottom of the threads, starting from the lower end of the cone, that is, actually do
as if you were darning something.
I made the musing braid from a woven thread with a diameter of 0.2 mm

Well, the end result of three woven musings on the fore-stay, fore-elk-stay and main-elk-stay

. Your rigging is superb. It is no easy task doing the Victory rigging and your detail and precise execution is setting the standard here. Awesome. Cheers Grant
