: Hi, Appreciating that this is not a knot question but hoping someone may help me. My late father worked with string and he showed me a way of wrapping it round his hands and then pulling sharply would break the string. I was too young to take it in but would love to be able to do it. If you know the method please let me know. TIA Go to the library - The Ashley Book of Knots, page 30. I'd give a verbal description but you might lose a finger if it isn't clear. EH |

TIA This method works for me: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/932967...ur_bare_hands/ I wouldn't like to try it with man-made cord though. -- MCC 02/09/2009 13:25:37 |

Thanks both of you. -- John the West Ham fan |
