Fourteener Knotting Tool

Inventor Darryl Lusk was employed by a lumber yard and asked to secure a load on a truck. Like many folks he did his best but his boss was not pleased with the resulting tangle of “granny knots”. That night Darryl referred to knot book he received as a gift from uncle years before and refreshed his knot tying skills. Within a couple of weeks, though, he had forgotten them again. In an effort to make his knotting practice more realistic Darryl tried bolting different pieces of hardware to a piece of wood. The hardware-studded lumber served its purpose but it was expensive, heavy and impractical. 

Some time later Darryl wanted to recreate his original knot tying practice tool on a smaller scale for his nephews.  The Fourteener was the result.

Knots can be seen and practiced more effectively when tied on something as opposed to being tied in hand. The "Fourteener" provides a portable, hands-on tool representing 14 pieces of hardware as a practical aid to learning how to tie knots.

The Fourteener kit includes 4 feet of 5mm braided nylon rope, an instruction booklet featuring 17 useful knots, a three foot polypropylene webbing tie-down strap with cam buckle closure to attach the Fourteener to a stable base, all packed in a drawstring nylon mesh storage bag.

A single kit sells for $14.99, discounts for multiple kits.
