About this ebook
This treasure trove of Des Pawson's personal ropecraft recipes contains
projects ranging from bellropes, key fobs and fenders to mats,
doorstops, knife lanyards and belts. The second edition has been
expanded to include more of Des's enticing ropework projects. Along
with fascinating tit bits of
nautical history as background to the many projects, and guidance as to
how
they can be the starting point for many other items, Des gives
step-by-step instructions on how to put these knots together to form
the finished article, and provides advice on the size and lengths of
the
materials required - just as you would expect from a recipe book.
With
this book to hand, readers will have the confidence to start making

that makes all other knot books work!
