Originally published in the 1920s, this textbook of rope work makes it possible for any farm boy to learn how to splice his hay rope, make a halter of rope, to quickly fasten a rope to an object, and to tie two ends of rope together when need for doing so arises.
Taking a piece of small rope and practicing at home by use of the 133 illustrations and easy-to-follow, step-by-step directions in this book is a sure way to acquire the knowledge and skill of doing more useful knots, hitches and splices at one's command.
