...anything involves the sausage\s and all attributes associated with them - I am a big fan!! Please continue this discussion....please
I was raised on those sausages, cannot stop loving them.
Absolutely brilliant! This is how you think outside of the box, gentlemen.Thanks Peter and Kurt.
Catherpins.The only thing I can say is, start as early as possible in the construction of your rig.
Otherwise you end up like me. breaking my nerves

@All thanks everybody for the likes and nice words. They keep a person going on.
By the last one I needed 1 tweezer, because the mast was in the way and I couldn't reach it with 2 hands.
And now starting to replace the trunks and place the lower catherpins. Be continue.

@All thanks for the kind words and all the likes.
Today (and yesterday) I worked on the lover catherpins. And I can say they are ready. The pictures show the procedure. Making a grommet and the deadeyes on the grommet you can find in the beautiful log of @Andrey Kudin Link
Focus on the deck
And now we have to put the trunks back for the third time.
I think this will be tomorrow

Today I'm studying about the lead of the lower halliards.
On the museum model it looks like this:
The book of Ketting:
pretty much the same. But this makes no sence to me. Yes the lead is okay but the direction gives me doubts. The capstan is standing behind the knight and the lifting part of hoist wil go in front to the mast. For me is that strange because the yard will be raised and lowered by using the capstan. And the rope will start the other way around like Anderson discribes
With this info I will make the construction not like the model but like Anderson describes. Starting on an eye on the deck next/behind the knight, up to the rams head from aft forwards. Then through the knight from the front backwards, so I will end in the last way to the back in the direction of the capstan. I will belay this lifting part on the head of the knight.
If I'm wrong please tell me.

@All thanks again for watching my blog
I use a rope for the halliard that is long enough to let the rams head go up to the top and around the capstan. That rope coil I make in place. I wrap the rope around an old rope spool. Then tied with a needle and thread. I only have to glue it in place.

Nice work, Stephan.
And you said the same about her knitting?The admiral just walked into my shop. Looking to the ship and said. "Wow, nice and you're almost ready I see."

I forget to take pictures. But it's to do. Takes only some time and patience.Rope coils, made in situ; that's a major feat!
