Just an interesting video 

 

 

 

 

That's Des Pawson, I know him through my membership of the Tools and Trades History Society. He is quite a character, and never without his red cap. He is probably the most skilled and knowledgeable rope worker in the country, and a marvel to watch working rope.

I've got one of his books but not managed to progress beyond the basics, I really need to devote some real time to it

Ken Nelson once tied my thumbs together then stole my pint while I was trying to get free!

 

He bought me another one later though so he was forgiven.

That's great to watch. I once spent a couple of hours at the rope walk at Chatham dockyards, fascinating to watch.

Yes, so did I.  Eveyone there knew Des, who gave a very informed commentary.
