Thanks for posting rickgilbert7822 and Knot Grounded, do appreciate it
What an awesome resource! Genuinely some of the best drawn instructions I've seen for knots I already know well, so I'm going to assume the rest of the drawings and instructions are bomber, too. Great work!
Thank you so much for putting this together @75RR !
I'm using the booklet for teaching knots to young sailors and it really is one of the best resources out there. I wondered whether you had a version laid out for printing as a folded booklet (2 pages per sheet, stacked then folded down the middle)?
Also, I was looking at the Shear Lashing drawing and wanted to mention that #2 onward are a bit confusing (though I don't have an obvious fix) in that the working end appears to be coming out of the right side of the right pole, whereas I think it only completes one wrap before coming through the left side below the standing end. Perhaps illustrating it as a vertical rather than diagonal line would be more clear?
Thanks WillForget and Salt
Re printing the booklet: This is the only version available at this time, perhaps a copyshop/printshop would be able to help you print it as you want.
Re. the Shear Lashing drawing: The drawing shows the standing end (longer than I show it in drawing #1) going behind the first pole and then tucked under the first wrap on the second pole.
This is to secure it a little more but is not strictly necessary. Hope this helps.
Regarding reformatting as a booklet, Acrobat Reader will let you print as a booklet. I create booklets from PDFs that way all the time.
