John, we haven't forgotten Wolf either. Every time I hear you call for Badi, I picture Wolf by your door, and Badi outside.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

I haven't either Bob...

I always find this part of the build to be the most fascinating to watch. Seeing how all the pulleys interact illustrates how these ships were truly the high tech vehicles of their day. I'm not a model builder. I'm a student of naval history. Your videos give me a unique insight into the amazing engineering of these vessels. Thank you John. She's looking amazing.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

I love that part Mark, i always like to pull the lines and see how the yards will behave!!! Amazing technology for the time :) Thank you very much for your kind words :)

[@michaelryan6884]

Very nice, John...the rigging is so precise and you show so much care.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much Michael!!!

Really appreciate all the details and information you provide

Glad it was helpful!!!

[@doomedsoul1696]

@@JohnsWoodenShips do you have any references to recomend? Was given a model ship as a gift and I'm trying to add more details since it's a little on the basic side as far as ship models go.

@@doomedsoul1696 as a reference, do you mean books?

[@doomedsoul1696]

No sorry, i have read info during the years i make model ships but i haven't kept any links.

Hi John I must say you are doing a wonderful job with the rigging, the ship will look beautiful when complete. I love this phase of boat building. She will look lovely in you collection, you must be well into the sails by now and looking forward to a break. Regards paul osman

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi Paul!!! I love that part too!!! It's very creative and you can see how the sails and yards were working back then. Actually i have finished her and i have began La Candelaria :) Thank you very much for your kind words :)

[@buckchoppers2480]

Nice work, John. Always so tidy. 👍

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Thank you very much Buck!!!

[@sambuttigieg291]

Goodmorning John this ship is going to drive me crazy with the beagle I was nearly there but this one for sure. Last time when I was doing the rigging my dog barked beside me and instead of cutting the extra I jumped and cut 3 difficult ones. I hope it will not happen again . Keep up the good work thank you, John.

Can't live without them Sam! Thank you very much!!!

For all the great vids you have created :) Thanx John

Thank you very much Dean!!! I deeply appreciate this 😀

Hey John, If you are running out of rigging line I can send more. Just let me know. Also, I saw that some of the rope was unraveling while you were using them. I've fixed that problem with longer heat treatment times, My ropes should unravel much less in the future.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi Ben! I did run out of 0.45 raw ropes, but i have managed to finish her :) The amount that had in the box was for the Artesania's rigging and i followed another rigging instructions. I have began La Candelaria, if you want we can do the same :)

[@sorinul75]

@@JohnsWoodenShips Hi, John! In La Candelaria's kit I received a metal belfry. Luckily, I checked if it fits in the notches of the forecastle deck (small deck at the bow) before gluing the deck, and it does not fit. If you also have a metal belfry, check if yours fits. Also, for the two chests at the stern, I used 2x5 wood strip (a leftover from another ship) instead 2x4 from the kit. I think the lid of the chest looks better and the hinges doesn't look too oversized. For chest support I used 1x1 wood strip instead of 2x2 from the kit. It is a matter of taste, to make things as tidy as I can. In my opinion it is much easier to correct small problems before definitively placing the pieces. Those are my observations, nothing mandatory. It is a hobby, and, in the end, all that matters is to have fun. :)

Hi John, I have been watching for years and your patience is amazing. I am building the Occre Bounty and am at the planking the hull stage. My question is after watching your hands struggling getting past the ratlines, cound you do the ratlines last, after the rigging to keep them out of your way? My golden Lacey, sends her best to Buddy.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi Dave! Thank you for being here with me with all the ships i have made :) It is wrong because you are going to pass many many lines through the platforms and around the ratlines so when the time come to place them you will be in a big trouble. It is hard to pass the lines with the ratlines on but it would be harder to make the ratlines later. Give Lacey a big hug from me! I will do the same for Buddy!!!

[@djshop189]

Thanks for the explanation. I will take the advice of a master. Dave

[@peterbuffel351]

Amazing work John. Is there a reason why you not stitch the sails to yards before mounting the yards on the on the ship. Soon I need to put yards on my Beagle build and I am looking for the most efficient why to stitch sails on the yards. I would like to have advice from an expert builder on how to proceed.

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

Hi Peter! Yes you can do that, i prefer this way because i have a better view with the yards rigging and also it's easier to pass the lines without having the sails. Try to do a couple with the sails on and see if it suits you best :)

[@modelismepassion4493]

Bonjour John, Pas évident le gréement des vergues, il faut pas mal de patience et de dextérité. Je pense, qu’avec le bordage de la coque, le gréement et la partie la plus délicate de la réalisation d’un vaisseau mais, la plus glorifiant. Bon courage pour la suite et à bientôt Yves de Lille (Nord de la France)

[@JohnsWoodenShips]

The rigging is the hardest part but the most re worthy one :)
