With that lesson under his belt he made his bride a String Ring. As is the way of things if you don't use it you loose it. He forgot how to tie the Turks Head Knot. For their first wedding anniversary his bride gave him a book on knots two balls of twine and a fid and said here make something. With that book and others like it he continued to make things. Plant hangers were the rage at the time so he thought that he would seek his fortune making plant hangers. He soon discovered the lack of a profit margin for plant hangers. That meant back to the drawing boards for other products. This experience has led to several products that reside in the museum box. |

The museum box is filled
with good ideas that never seemed to make it into the product line. For
instance there is the perfect skinny fender that he doesn't remember the
construction details. Baskets made, of string, that were
too time consuming to make into a commercial venture. One thing that is for
sure He is an experience. People do track him down to share his experience.
He is a walking reference on things made of rope.
