Curtain tie back?
|
| |
I'm trying desperately to figure out how to tie a certain kind of drapery knot. I've seen some discussions here that the Ashley Book of Knots may be of some assistance, but the copy of the book I have seen does not seem to reference it. I've uploaded some photos of the specific knot here: Here's a commercial picture of what the finished product ought to look... more »

|
| |

I picked up a tube of what I thought was regular superglue and proceeded to apply it. It came out thick and did not soak in right away like I was used to that was when... more »

Hi, Appreciating that this is not a knot question but hoping someone may help me. My late father worked with string and he showed me a way of wrapping it round his hands and then pulling sharply would break the string.

I need a knot that releases "explodes" under heavy loads
|
| |
Good morning people, I know, most people want a knot to will hold under heavy loads but I am a backpacker. That means, I go out into the woods, often for several days, and I carry all of the food I need in a pack on my back. Since I want me, and not the bears or other critters to eat the food, I hang it, each night, from... more »
