Blocks

A dead bush from the garden supplied a closed grain timber. Cut to size on bandsaw & smoothed on belt sander. Slots cut on mill with a 2mm end mill. Could have used a drill. Cleaned the slots with home made chisel & small file. Shaping with a large file & sandpaper. Cut off & drive a brass pin through the centre. That was the most difficult.

Blocks

Needed small working blocks for my model Irene. It sits in the window of our bedroom. I see it every morning & a few things worry me. Two sails need recutting. I can cut the stay sail out of the main. So will make a better main. The blocks are to big way out of scale. But they do have to operate. As I alter the rig to suit the weather.
