I bought a roll of kraft paper for wrapping finished frames, but the roll is of too thick paper as all the thinner rolls were sold out. Now the cellotape does not hold.
In my bookshelf is a book entitled Handbook of Knotting and Splicing by Paul Haluck. Had I been to scouting I would have found this book a breeze, but I haven't so it's a struggle.
Page 41 describes a stationer's knot with one picture as the finished product.
The stationer's knot is handy for tying up a parcel, as it can be made rapidly, and undone with ease. Make a running noose at the end of a piece of twine, and bring it to the center of the parcel; take the twine round the parcel again at right angles, round the noose, and making a bight slip it under, as illustrated. A pull at the end releases the knot instantly, as can be proven by experiment.
Is anyone able to show step by step how to make this stationer's knot, as it drives me nuts.
thanks.
