Swaging the Shrouds

Making our standing rigging. I botched most of it! One end is a thimble the other is a loop. The loop goes around the mast, the thimble is tensioned by lashings.

I'd recommend you splice that cable prior to swaging, it's pretty simple, and the strength is in the splice, and swages just reinforce.

OK......next time

Can you make a tour of the boat? :)

[@acatnameddog9799]

We are pretty busy. What do you want to see? My other videos cover a lot.

Wait. Weren't you supposed to attach that to the mast first and THEN crimp it? (j/k)

[@acatnameddog9799]

Doh!

[@kwjakemiller]

How much did you pay for that tool there?

[@acatnameddog9799]

less than $200

[@sergeypomogaev6224]

Galvanized wires?

Good luck with your build, she will get a splash really soon as I hope.
