Looking for historic ship builders / sailmakers website/forum for:

My very recent new interest is historical ship rigging and sailmaking.
I am mostly interested in:

Fids and specifically large fids as would be found for sail making on the largest ships and how they were used. Fids that are 10" diameter and 4 feet tall.

Dead eyes and use and design specs.

Wooden blocks, design, construction, rope splicing and etc.

I have already duplicated some wooden blocks but still need to finish up with ropes and splicing.

I have made over 30 hand held fids of various woods and sizes and shapes and would like more specific information. I have made one large fid, 38" tall, just guessing about design and shape.

Dead eyes, wanting make dead eyes and set these up as found on historic ships.

So, looking for a forum where boat builders and sail makers communicate and share information, same as this great forum!!!

Thanks for your help.
