Generations of scouts and sailors have learned their lore from this classic reference by a master craftsman. Clearly written and amply illustrated with 208 figures, this 1904 classic offers timeless instruction for knotters and splicers of ropes. Starting with simple and useful knots, the manual proceeds to more complex varieties: eye knots, hitches, and bends; ring knots and rope shortenings; ties and lashings; and fancy knots. Additional topics include rope splicing; working cordage; hammock making; lashings and ties for scaffolding; and splicing and socketing wire ropes.
