Title: New member: is there a topic on Lashings?
Post by: ThomasG on November 02, 2011, 04:10:15 PM

Hi, knot afficionado friends.  I am new here.  I am 47 and have been tying knots ever since I joined Cub Scouts, and it became a bit of a hobby, at least sufficiently so to learn a good number of practical knots. I have no aim of learning all knots in ABOK!   

I particularly enjoy designing and building Pioneering Projects, and therfore am pretty good at tying lashings.    BTW, Is it blasphemy to question ABOK?  I see very little about lashings in ABOK, what is there is inadequate, and have not found a particular discussion thread about lashings here.  Maybe I will start one.

Try doing a search here or on Google for frappings and/or wrappings.  It should yield many hits.
