Des Pawsons Knotcraft

This treasure trove of Des Pawson's personal ropecraft recipes contains a guide on how to create a number of useful bits for you boat; ranging from bellropes, key fobs and fenders to mats, doorstops, to knife lanyards and belts.

The second edition has been expanded to include more of Des's enticing ropework projects. Along with fascinating titbits 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.

You'll certainly never look at a frayed off-cut of rope in quite the same way again!
