Description
Des Pawson has been awarded an MBE for his services to the rope industry
Now in a new larger format, 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
Along with fascinating tit bits of nautical history as background to 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 advice on the size and lengths of the materials required - just as you would expect from a recipe book
'Each chapter begins with some background or history, and you'll certainly never look at a frayed off-cut of rope in quite the same way again.' - Classic Boat
'A must' - Waterways World
