(West Country Style) When you're thinking of building a 20ft high swing made of pioneering poles you want to make sure you're using good quality sisal rope which is clean cut and whipped! Whipping is the process of binding the rope to stop it fraying. It's very easy to do. For this instructable you need very thin twine or whipping string and an end of sisal rope. Sisal rope is a natural (hemp) fiber rope. step 1: Starting out I'm using a 9mm rope with a 50cm long piece of whipping twine. The west country whipping requires two knots, one you're be familiar with when starting out tying your shoe laces. See below image and once you've done it. This is an overhand knot. step 2: Step two is like step one, which is also like step three This time round you're doing the same job, just tying the same knot on the exact opposite side of the rope. The below pic should show exactly that. Hopefully... http://www.instructables.com/id/Whippin-West-Country-Style/ step 3: Three is like step one Keep repeating a knot on the front, then tie one on the back etc until you're almost out of twine. It's best to work all these knots from the end of the rope down the length so that the final knot ends up away from the fraying end. step 4: Tying the reef knot! A reef knot is easy to screw up, however I'm happy to say the below knot is definately one, not a granny, grief or theives knot. To find more about the reef knot, check out this most informative wikipedia article To start, as you did in step one (and the pic in step 3) , tie an overhand knot (right end over left) then reverse the overhand to finish the reef (left over right) You'll end up with the below! http://www.instructables.com/id/Whippin-West-Country-Style/ step 5: Finishing up Ease any of the knots together so it looks neat. Then to finish off, put a dob of nail varnish on the reef knot and this will make sure that it stays tied and doesn't get as easily caught when tying the big knots! Finish by trimming the rope, leaving enough to slightly fray which will put pressure on the whipping. As you can see I've not nail varnished the knot yet (in a scout hall of boys, there aren't many vials of nail varnish unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it) and I've started from the bottom and finished at the top which is OK, just unlikely to be as strong.

This will leave you with no loose ends showing. Make a long(ish) loop and wrap your string neatly around the loop from the beginning side of your string (1). Slide the string through the loop when you've wrapped enough to suit your fancy, but not over the end of the loop(2). Pull the beginning of the string (1) to pull the loop under the wrappings. Cut the string on the bottom (where the loop used to show) next to the wrappings. Also cut the beginning of your string at the edge of the wrappings. It stays tight and there aren't any loose ends to snag or allow it to unravel. rimar2000 says: Oct 22, 2009. 7:55 AM REPLY Clever! tim_n says: Oct 22, 2009. 1:45 AM REPLY A good site for knots (including west country whipping) is http://www.animatedknots.com http://www.instructables.com/id/Whippin-West-Country-Style/.

  • Pioneering Merit Badge Pamphlet Will Be Used Throughout the United States, Merit Badge Counselors Should Understand That Not Every Method Can Be Fully Described Here
    pioneering BoY SCoUTS oF AMERICA MERIT BADGE SERIES Pioneering Note to the Counselor Because this Pioneering merit badge pamphlet will be used throughout the United States, merit badge counselors should understand that not every method can be fully described here. Different parts of the country might use other names for a knot, a method, or a piece of equipment. Counselors may employ other methods described and illustrated in other Scouting literature. Some pioneering skills or methods called for in the requirements will take practice and time to master. Therefore, having multiple hands-on sessions to earn the merit badge is advisable. The term “demonstrate” in the requirements means just that—the Scout should show that he has learned the skill and can use it. Keep in mind that, because of equipment availability, parts of some requirements might have to be done at summer camp, at district or council events, or on a troop camp outing. In such cases, the person conducting the review and approving any partial completion must be approved to do so by the local council. The appearance of a finished project or structure is not as important as the correctness of individual knots and lashings. The project should be judged for its structural soundness, to determine if it was built to safely withstand the use for which it was intended. Only the approved designs shown in this pamphlet or other Boy Scouts of America literature are recommended. In earning this merit badge, the Scout has a chance to learn skills that will be useful in a wide variety of Scouting and non-Scouting activi- ties.
