Books by Barbara Merry

Helps you discover the dozens of nautically flavored craft projects which you can make with rope. This book includes fancy projects which you can make with a square knot, a double-French hitching, or four-strand braids (a dog collar, a tool grip, and a decorated picture frame, respectively).

The only book devoted entirely to splicing today's rope and wire. This new edition includes step-by-step illustrations and explanations for the most useful and popular splices using both traditional twisted and modern braided ropes, as well as wire and rope to wire splices.

The only handbook devoted to splicing today's ropes; now covers wire splices, rope-to-wire splices, and ropework gear for boats.
