We had our apprentice "The C**t" helping on the tools today. It's important to pass on the crafts and skills we have had shared with us. Very pleasing to be there as he starts his journey.

First of 3 custom mats going to a leading international marine services company's Australian head office in Sydney. There will be some tough critics to be sure but we are confident it will pass the reviews.

Some pretty large wire rope. Looks a bit tricky - we may need a larger vice and set of spikes to splice this.

Some detail from the bell pull made yesterday.

Made-to-order bell pull to replace one made for a 70+ year old Royal Navy ship's bell. A lot of hours with plenty of detail, but the result definitely worth it.

A very nice bit of feedback from a recent customer - "Thank You" to Adam at Ropeworks for his recent work on our two Japanese fishing floats. At over 40 years old, and having been acquired in the South Pacific area, the floats are very special to us. Adam has been able to recreate the original knot design, and using natural h**p has helped to retain an "aged" appearance. Adam has a keen eye for detail and his workmanship is outstanding. His finishing of the plaited hanger, and whipping the ends of the rope to prevent fraying, has given us two floats that hopefully will last another 40 years plus. Thank you, Adam."

As pleasing as the finished product......
