{"product_id":"9780486148168","title":"Handbook of Knotting and Splicing","description":"\u003cbr\u003eGenerations of scouts and sailors have learned their lore from this classic reference by a master craftsman. Editor Paul N. Hasluck was a renowned contributor to numerous technical journals as well as the author of several books on crafts and antiques. His clearly written guide--amply illustrated with 208 figures--dates from the turn of the twentieth century and offers timeless instruction for knotters and splicers of ropes.\u003cbr\u003eStarting with simple and useful knots, this manual proceeds to more complex varieties: eye knots, hitches, and bends; ring knots and rope shortenings; ties and lashings; and fancy knots. Additional topics include rope splicing; working cordage; hammock making; lashings and ties for scaffolding; and splicing and socketing wire ropes. A helpful index appears at the end, and a list of illustrations identifies the figures in order of appearance.","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072858865904,"sku":"9780486148168","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780486148168_p0.jpg?v=1763708390","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780486148168","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
