Size is such that it lays open nicely if using it to tie. You can never have too many knot books. ( ) Very interesting book with well displayed techniques for knots and rope work. I would not call it an ultimate encyclopedia though. There is no descriptions of splices i.e. the eye splice and back splice for example which I would consider ropework that can be found in the old boyscout books. Also there is a knot called the butcher's knot - at least is America, and I didn't find it. It is effectively a figure 8 knot around a loose (working) end and that is then made a half hitch around the loose end of the figure 8 knot. It is a very handy slip knot that can be tightened and then locked with the half hitch. Though I'm not into knots, when I saw this book on sale, I thought it'd be a great chance to get a book to help me out with Girl scouts and other activities where I might need to know/teach knots. I really loved this guide as soon as I opened it, because it has easy-to-folly diagrams that are very visual. It also explains the usefulness or lack thereof of different knots, so that the reader can decide if a particular knot is a good choice. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Each of the knots described in this reference is clearly identified by category and step-by-step instructions and colour photographs explain how to tie or splice them. The author also includes information on ropes, their strengths and their uses. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
