Thanks to cariocarj01, kelpie13, AllTru, mrcharly, Leshy, Statts, bigbush, and Pepper16 (first post of 2017) Kitharode, thanks for the help Robi, hope you found it useful Fig 18 Ashley #1010 is considered to be the base 'bowline'. Ashley was unimpressed by the Left-Hand Bowline, hence the odd...

10 will give you a selection wide enough to tackle most situations. As long as you do not use a Reef Knot as a bend you will be fine.

Choose 10? The booklet started out with 10! The only use for a sheep shank is to shorten a hoisting rope (when the cargo is larger than usual) in order to avoid reweaving it through the pulley blocks. It has no modern application despite its regular appearance in every scout and knot book.

Thanks to Sailing_Swagman, davegreg, pinkfaery, Honest Outrage, country boy, mvmbushcraft, jackcbr, bgreen and Kitharode. Glad you liked it.

As to a new version ... no plans as yet. Thanks for asking.

Thanks to farfoodle, sandbender, John Fenna, richardhomer, MickeyW and duttytd for your posts. Glad you liked the Knot Booklet.

It would seem we have a different understanding of "small"! Drawings were designed to simplify tying the knot as much as possible, so in a way, they are "stand alone". However I do feel that the text is an integral part of the booklet. (Put a fair amount of Blood, Sweat and Digital Ink into it)...

Just thought I would mention that the Knot Booklet has been designed so that one can zoom in a little bit before the image gets fuzzy. Read somewhere that most people do not use the zoom feature much, for those that would like to try it, it is there if you want it. Thanks to Tiley...

david1: Tis a Bowline, ABoK 1034½ to be precise. People tend to refer to the ABoK 1010, or just 1010 for short , when referring to the “standard or common bowline” to clarify which bowline they are referring to. It is sometimes called “the Cowboy Bowline” as Joonsy says, thought I find that...

Thanks for the + StuMsg and Gooner and Joonsy dave53, if you still have problems PM me with your email and I will send you the pdf Knot Booklet.

Hi, Have been working for a while on a Knot Pamphlet that, perhaps inevitably, morphed into a 40+ Knot Booklet. Thought folks here might like to have a look. It is a General Knot Booklet, but I think forum members will find several of the knots useful. It is made available under the Creative...
