I find that I have not been able to keep them as lined up as I would like as well as remembering how to tie my knots to finish off each deadeye. If someone has some suggestions on the proper way to finish off the knots I would be thankful if you could pass that information on to me. Following are a few pictures of the deadeyes.   | ||

This should explain the method. | ||

I think it might take some practice to make my lashings look that good. I was also interested in an example of how to do the seizing but I did find an example of whipping or seizing in The Marlinspike Sailor by Hervey Garrett Smith that would work. Thanks again for the diagram as I have printed it out to use as an example. | ||
