Duchess of Kingston Video 20

I was very excited to start on the Mizzen Stay in this video. The correct order of things is to place the mast shrouds in place first. Fortunately, I had already done this as a "warm-up" to the mizzen stay. Which is located in the "middle" of the ship and it will be difficult to access later. I explain all of this in the beginning of the film. In the next episode, we will demonstrate the shrouds on the main mast and skip going over the main and fore stays since the process is the same as in this video.

Ben, You're doing an incredible job. Thanks for this series. I am getting anxious to start my own wooden ship build.

Marvelous. Simply marvelous. Enjoy your vaca.

Ben, looking great! This rigging is really detailed.

One small tip when weaving "mice"... have an odd number of threads. you had 8 threads, meaning that the "over under" pattern didn't automatically alternate.

[@TheMidwestModelShop]

Yes! I figured that out and mentioned it towards the end of the video. I 3-D printed some for the next two. I’m hoping it will make the process go smoother.

@@TheMidwestModelShop Well that'll teach me to wait until the end before commenting :) Glad you worked it out anyway. Another tip when rigging thread through blocks/ holes, put thin CA on the end of the thread to stiffen it so it acts like a needle.

Right on Ben! Looking fantastic! I got my first 4 planks on my SJ. I got the DOK too. Going to start that after I get the first planking done on the SJ. Helps with the organization of what tools I am using. Have you seen that Harry Houdini rigging kit? They don't make a 1/64th scale but I shot him an email on that. Maybe you could make these and market them??? And have fun on your vacation! Hopefully not in the sunshine state!

The beads are Chinese glass beads,they manufactured like this from the start ,i'm not sure how they are making them but they are so cheap so it's very convenient to ship manufacturing use them for lower production costs.

[@WATTScostumes]

I wonder if these ships where a little overengineered.?

[@keithfukumitsu4785]

you know craft stores have some very tiny beads that might work better to scale
