Hello, all.
I am seeking leads or other information on hoe to make a rope ladder (or
ratline) like one sees on ships hundreds of years old. Every "lead" I
have
so far found on the Internet is to the more moddern type with wooden
rungs.
But I'm looking to make the whole thing out of rope. And I want it to be
useable (weight bearing).
Any clues?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
I have copied the instructions for making a rope ladder from The Shell
Book
of Knots and Ropework, published 1977, and put them on my website at
http://www.orcadian.plus.com/ladder/ladder.html
Hope it is of some help.
