Des Pawson''s Knot Craft

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

desirable objects with knots because, as Des says, this is the book

that makes all other knot books work!
