Abstract: Let $G$ be a nonabelian group. We show how a collection of compatible endomorphisms $ps{i}_i:GoG$ such that $ps{i}_i([G,G])leZ(G)$ for all $i$ allows us to construct a family of bi-skew braces called a brace block. We relate this construction to other brace block constructions and interpret our results in terms of Hopf-Galois structures on Galois extensions. We give special consideration to the case where $G$ is of nilpotency class two, and we provide several examples, including finding the maximal brace block containing the group of quaternions.
