I tend to final tune with a precision "Lump Hammer"

A quality handsaw beats most

A top burton is rove in the same manner as a luff-tackle purchase; the only difference is, that the upper block of the burton is a fiddle block, while that of the luff is a double one.

Sorry, no cigar, we ain't talking literature..

From my childhood I seem to remember, "Wodya mean - can't shift it? Where's me Bentley 'alf shaft". I think the man's name was Ham Stilson.

I would suggest that a good anvil takes a bit of beating.

Mike

Is that a pun or what? :-))

No, a pun is a play on words. An anvil is a large piece of iron that you put things on when you want to hit them :-)

Mark Rand RTFM

Sense of humour not your strong point then?

Actually yes, but try and keep it musical..

Ah well an emmission tester may enter the top ten then.

I used a make-shift anvil to fix my laptop's power pack once.

It is best to work apun the anvil, if you try holding things beneath it's quite awkard to get a good swing going.

To explain this further: the double block is fitted with a hook; the single one with a long strop hook and thimble, and another long strop or tongue with a thimble, is spliced round strop of single block (Seamanship - Captain Nares RN 1874)

The Counsel of Trent : Always be cautious to play within The Rules for abuse of Burtons can lead to the loss of those close to you.

Sounds like the late captain didn't know a burton from a becket bend..

Tom

Weren't those Trent Burtons, cousins of the Krays?

No they were the Pentium's
