It's all about patience and doing all the details. Thanks for the tutorial, looking forward for the next one.

Tip: before you start putting the shrouds onto the mast, do not glue the masthead onto the mast. This allows you to slip the masthead off the mast and slip the shroud over the mast. This way, you can serve the shroud loops on your workbench and not on the ship, which saves lots of difficult finger work in a tight place where you cannot support your hands to keep them steady. Finished shroud pairs can be slipped into the mast easily and after that you can place the masthead back into position. Many leave the mastheads on the lower masts loose, letting the later rigging hold them in place. Or, you can glue it down when you no longer need to remove them for work or maintenance of the shrouds. I am also on my first wooden ship model, and am just beginning to assemble the masts.

Nice looking model and I'm not trying to be critical but I think it is an important point. Strengthening standing rigging by wrapping additional line around another is called SERVING. Seizing is when two or more lines are joined by wrapping a smaller line around them.

Thank you ihatomi for your response and your corrections !

Nice to se someone knows the correct "Jargon"

[@berndlottes9940]

funny and in book of seamanship also in royal lists there stands blocks strapped or SEIZED to the yard or other rigging-part. how can a block be seized to a line when there is no conencting with smaler line its the same line slinged over block goin back and fixed with 2 seizings......what does that mean??? you can strap or seiz a block to smthg,

[@arealassassin]

@@berndlottes9940 It means both things.

Hi Donnie. Great video. I've recently started using soft copper wire instead of thread. It works very well too. I then paint it black. Am I lazy or cheating?

[@shipmodelguy]

The line has been SERVED, not seized.

[@thornthunchamnong3554]

I've watched a number of your rigging videos, you spend way too much time on waxing your lines, we get it. Other than that, real nice job . Thank you for the lessons.
