I don't recall Brion's pic but there's a guy on the WoodenBoat Forum who is a rigger in San Francisco (I think) who does big ship and historic rigs. He has a nifty sort of bent off-set gizmo for the final tightening.

I've only set up deadeyes on smaller boats (20 tons or so) where hand snugging the lee shrouds a little at a time tack to tack did a nice job.
