Narration ----- (For whipping [method 1] knotboard.)
(1) Form a loop in a 12 inch piece of
twine so that the ends of the twine are parallel
and in opposite directions. Lay the loop on the
end of the rope so that the ends of the twine
and the rope are all parallel and one end of the
twine is extending beyond the end of the rope.
(2) While holding the twine in place between
the thumb and forefinger, pass the loop of twine
around the end of the rope so that the wrap is
with the lay of the rope. (3) To finish the wrapping,
pull the twine under the thumb so that
the twine is wrapped toward the standing part
of the rope, pull the twine tight. (4) While holding
the last wrapping in place between the
thumb and forefinger, add additional wraps by
passing the loop of twine around the end of the
rope and pulling the wrap tight under the thumb
for each wrap. (5) Continue to add wraps until
the length of the whipping is equal to the diameter
of the rope. (6) While still holding the
last wrap tight between the thumb and forefinger,
pull the loop closed by pulling on the end
of the twine that is sticking out past the end of
the rope. (7) Tighten the whipping by pulling
on both ends of the twine. (8) Finish the whipping
by cutting off the ends of the twine
