A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Knots, Splices, and Rope Work is a simple straightforward guide to tying over fifty knots, with over 150 illustrations. Learn how to tie the following knots: overhand and figure-eight knots; square and reef knots; granny knots, open-hand knots, and fishermen's knots; weaver's knots, Garrick bends, and Hawser hitches. Learn lark's-heads, slippery and half-hitches, clove hitches, gunner's knots, and timber hitches. Also sailing knots such as studding-sail and gaff-topsail halyard bends, Roband and fisherman's hitches, waterman's knots, and various loops, nooses, ties, shortenings, and seizings. The illustrations are clear and helpful, and with practice you will be able to master both the simple and the intricate knots, ties and hitches this book describes. This classic work, written by the editor of the popular science department of American Boys Magazine nearly a century ago, taught tens of thousands of kids how to tie basic knots. It is reprinted here in its entirety in a high-resolution facsimile edition.
