Hi All, BigGrin

Well Ok, this is my situation with my numerous builds.

I can see a lot of knot tying etc coming up in the near future, rigging etc.

So, to that end whilst at Portsmouth Historic Docks yesterday I purchased the following.

"The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Knots and ropework"

Here`s a few pics of the item I purchased.







Now here`s a link to just one seller, I`m not saying it`s the best or the cheapest, so browse the web for the best deals if you want one. BigGrin

encyclopedia of knots and ropework

As a teaching aid it looks the business to me.

Nice that you get the ropes too, you can spend many hours practising knots in front of the TV, reminds me of when I was in the cub scouts going for my badgesBigGrin

Heck Steve, Confused

Why do you think I bought one, I can`t remember my cub/scout days, let alone how to tie a knot.

Good thing about it is, as far as I can see, is that you get to practice a knot as many times as you need in a large scale, before you have to do 300 in a miniature scale. Crying

It surely has to help in some way BigGrin
