I mentioned earlier you could hunt turkey with a 9 iron around here. Wrong....I could have choked up on a pitching wedge. Turkey hen shitting on my car this morning. Almost had to shove the stupid thing off... ::)

That's some incredible work.  But make no mistake, I am a paint by numbers guy, without instruction, I'd only be tying granny knotts ;D

I can actually do some of those. I made it a practice when I was floating around in the gulf of Tonkin to get to know people in every department. I asked a senior chief bosun's mate to teach me knot tying. He and I did most of the fancy knot treatments on the rails and side-ropes on the quarterdeck of the Enterprise. He told me no one in his division really wanted to learn. I don't remember much off the top of my head, but I did so much I'm sure it's all just a marlinspike, and low stool, and some light white stuff away.

I did this lanyard on my switchblade on autopilot.
