Oh my Gosh ! To see my rope work and my name on this video makes me cry... of joy of course !!! Many thanks my good friend Des ! And congratulations to the ones who made the video : this knot rope museum is the most important in the world, felicitations !
Please add me to the grateful few that have their work on display at Des's museum. As I was watching this interesting video, at about 5:18 into it, the table of knotwork was so interesting, I went back to inspect it again. I was especially interested in a key fob that looked like a few I had made back in the 70's and as I enlarged the image, I saw my name on the ticket and almost fell out of my chair. I will have to start making some more, though at 77, I might be a little slower doing it. What a surprise and much gratitude for including my small work alongside those other fine examples of the art of knot tying. (The name on the ticket is Bill Bogel, as is mine.)
@@classicsailor6762 Hi and thanks for the reply! I'm trying to get back into the game (of knotting) and wonder if there is some way I might communicate with Des about taking a foto of the fob so I can find my way back into the fold, as it were. At my age to tye it again would be a Mt. Everest level accomplishment for me! I used to belong to the IGKT back in the 80's, and am thinking about submitting an application to membership again. Many thanks for any help, Bill
Oh, man! Can I come and learn all these skills? Surely an effort should be made to train young folks these skills, and put into use, making true-to-history rigging, then shown to the world how things were back in the days of SAIL. I imagine the whole educated crew in these skills, going round, displaying their beauty, practicality, in every seaport .
I was given a length of hand-made rope last year and wondered what to do with it. So last week I made an Ocean Mat table centre, using Des Pawson's book Knot Craft. I've used his book for many rope projects. Keeping ancient crafts alive.
this is an extremely important thing you are doing. thank you. I'm so glad to have found you. for the last few years I have developed an addiction to the universe of knots and rosewood. tying, and learning everything about knots and the materials used makes the world fall away. I aspire to visit your museum and am glad that you record yourself as a docent. your stories and information about the collection are as important as the the collection itself. I will now be diving into your library and wallowing in your well presented and beautifully captured on video presentation, you have the perfect voice for the subject and it is captured nicely my compliments to everyone involved.
thank you very much Mister Pawson , i don't understand all your comments because ...i'm french .But it's just a pleasure for the eyes to see all theses sailor's tools . Best regards from France and from a french fischerman
Having spent many weeks in and around Ipswich over the years and have a real interest in knots and the allied skills, I can't believe that I have never heard of this museum. Thankyou for the video
Des never ceases to impress. We have a bit of a 'museum' within our shop on Cottrell Street, but nothing to the depth and extend of my friend's in England
What a wonderful museum! Thank you for your efforts in preserving these amazing historical crafts. This makes me love my RUclips "tangents" even more, as I got here from a video of Mikko Snellman making a Sailor's Slingshot.
The coils for marlin on the rope are very interesting! We always had the on the serving mallet (if it's written that way, I only know the german words like Kleedkeule or Trensen, Smarten und Kleeden for the three parts of the process).
Thank you. As I am a high steel rigger, theatrical Rigger, Arena, Rigger. I very much appreciate where my craft comes from. Please keep the love coming on. Just a beautiful life in still.

Did you make any rope?

What do you mean by allied skills? The skills needed to tie knots and make rope?
@@barnabyvonrudal1 Tool making, sail repair, rope manufacture, learning about the types of tools and implements and how they have been made
Video stupendo con nodi straordinari...- Bravissimi...- 👍🚩⚓🚩

What? a sailor's slingshot? I want to see one/use one!!
Fantastic video.
Des is an amazing man.

How can. Where is this please!

Man and boy. Well, just don’t let the cancel culture see this! Nice work.
Why? What would happen?
