That was in this case also the problem. I know how, I did it before but it didn't work for 3 times and I messed up. It is so tiny and a little to much force, you can start again. But we learned that also I can be clumsy.

That looks easier to do on a small hook.
I started with brass wire of 1 mm. in diameter. And the result after 2,5 hour (one hour to beat the carpet monster

I'm satisfy about it and 50% of the job is done, one more to come.

I like to work with them. This is sandpaper in a small circle to attached on your Dremel or Proxxon drill. I also made a piece of thin plywood in the same shape to put behind the sandpaper when I need a strong surface. This works perfect to shape these tiny things. The other thing I use is Corradi Needle files, the smallest set you can get.
Back to my log I finished the backstays. (pardoens)
First the second block with hook, just took 1 hour this time.

Then I made 2 grommets, I use a piece of rope that I split up in 3 strands. From one strand I make a grommet and glue the last parts together.

Guess what, Shrouds and Ratlines are next
Good morning Stephan. Shroud cleats are a pain in the butt….(well for me). Brilliantly done. Cheers Grant
The cleats are in place and the main topmast stay is done. Wow that was a lot of work. Making the mouse, the block with hook and the block on the top of the fore topmast to lead the stay down was a pain in ... to get that in place. But it is done and it looks good. Next are the back stays.
