Splicing.

I am no rigger. I can tie a bowline, square knot, a rolling hitch, and a towmans hitch and that’s all I really need. But there is an amazing guy at school who is known as ‘Mr Knotty’. He is a rigger who has served nearly thirty years on the yard and he is a proper lovely old rogue. Here are a couple of pics of the handles he helped me splice for my shipwrights box, which I STILL haven’t got around to fitting. Oh, and the macrame keyfob for the same box. Watch this space.
