I used to study marlinspike work some years ago. It's insane the amount of work that goes into it.

>>1034306
i bet that is super interesting, did you just study it for fun? can you make eyes and splice ropes and stuff?

Clove hitch, bowline(including running bowline here), killick hitch, and prusik. You can do almost anything with those knots.

It was just for fun. I could make just about anything in the end. I even got to do a little work on some museum ships recreating old work. Was really fun.

I am just a sailor who would rather be able to splice myself instead of buying $20 premade splices. If you want to know more about knots look at ABOK. it talks about the historical reference of knots and has pretty good diagrams/instructions for tying them. being able to idly make a monkey's fist or daisy chain while having a conversation is pretty comfy

>>1034835
hell yeah, im going to check it out

ABOK is great but the diagrams are a bitch to follow some times. "The Marlinspike Sailor" is the go to for beginners though.
