Deadeye Threading & Spacing Jig   

Armand Ship Building Tool

This gizmo does two things-
The two narrow springy bars on the right end hold your deadeyes on edge for you so you can easily thread them. Then the stepped end keeps them spaced just right while you adjust the tension. The spring bars will also hold your deadeyes flat for wrapping the line around the groove.

Print 1 shows the jig with the removable extra width spacer bar in place, and I sell this tool with everything you see- the smaller tweezer for pulling thread, the tweezer with the black ball ends (pearl cups) hold the deadeyes nicely, a small needle & needle threader:

the deadeye in the back of the frame is already placed:
