I used this knot on 550 with 6 rotations on the coiled rungs. I tapered it off on the ends with a 3-rotation section but I'm having trouble finishing off the ends with the clean look your designs have.

And this blog helped me get an idea on what the rope ladder looks like. The only question I have is what do you do with the two loose rope ends at the bottom of the rung? Are these rope ends tucked away? or are these loose rope ends spliced together?<br /><br />There's a cool youtube video of somone actually demonstrating how to tie a rope ladder --->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEXttVyT1A4Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-18662828784159820462009-01-31T00:12:00.000-05:002009-01-31T00:12:00.000-05:00I was looking for a way to duplicate the Universal...I was looking for a way to duplicate the Universal Strength Apparatus for my fat and broke butt.

None of my knot books have start to finish net project instructions in them. There are books on nets/netting out there and if they don't have specific instructions for 'cargo/climbing' nets, I'd believe the same ideas from fishing type netting would translate by using larger cordage and spacing of the net.<BR/><BR/>I have searched thru google and found playground cargo nets that may give you some ideas for larger projects. Some obstacle courses also have those larger nets used for climbing/descending.<BR/><BR/>If the net is made for children to climb on, I've read that the spacing needs to be either 4 inches or smaller or 12 inches and larger, for safety reasons.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-5920829567145994372009-01-19T12:58:00.000-05:002009-01-19T12:58:00.000-05:00Hi, I've enjoyed your designs and even made myself...Hi, I've enjoyed your designs and even made myself a keyfob (http://www.flickr.com/photos/63122340@N00/3209541017/) as a result.<BR/><BR/>With your recent foray into tower and rope ladders, I'm wondering if you can advise what knots and strategy should be used when making an all-rope cargo/climbing net?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05435566912261599395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-14494811900854714512009-01-19T02:21:00.000-05:002009-01-19T02:21:00.000-05:00There are a lot of interesting braiding patterns i...There are a lot of interesting braiding patterns in that book, with combinations of various colors, sizes, and types of cord. <BR/><BR/>But, it's not a start to finish type book of projects to make. Like many knot books, it just shows how to make the braids and how they look made with different materials. It leaves you on your own to apply it to a project like making a lanyard.Stormdranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291715625908183030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17884734.post-78739907855161255522009-01-18T19:24:00.000-05:002009-01-18T19:24:00.000-05:00StormdraneI realy enjoy you blog, Lots of great id...Stormdrane<BR/>I realy enjoy you blog, Lots of great ideas.
