I need a hobby book that features information on ropes and knots giving particular attention to ropes/knots that are used for flags. I know it may sound a bit weird but there are thousands of books about knots however I don’t know if they would be useful to a person who has particular interest in flags and flagpoles etc

Thank you :D

I thought a hobby of making antique looking chess, checkers, chinese checkers, etc., game boards would be fun. I just can’t find any reference materials or websites that will help me in designing the proper size board, along with the look and feel.
Does anyone know of any good woodworking, antiquing or hobby books about this?

A friend of mine wants to try reading books as a hobby. This is the first time he’s going to try. He’s now 21yrs. What book would u suggest me to introduce to him so that he’s not scared off at the volume and high standard english of the book. Also. the book should be interesting enough for him to take up reading as a hobby. Any suggestions?
Plz suggest some books that are universal. I live in India so not that many english books that are famous abroad do come here. I do have access to very famous ones though…
Is harry potter part one a good idea?

I am a big fan of his book "Guns, Germs and Steel", but I never understood this. Does he also publish professional articles in academic journals? Or writing the book for general audience is the primary work?

This is a model scale communications tower I built between October 2009 and January 2010. It is made of materials you would typically find in a hobby/electronics shop and a hardware store. In other words, built from scratch. It has steady burning lights (made from leds) and flashing lights (made from indicator lights) that simulate the Hughey & Phillips (formerly Honeywell) L-810 (TM) and KG-114 (TM) obstruction lighting respectively. It has all the cabling for the lights and the other cabling simulates the coaxial & waveguide cabling to the transmitter antennas and microwave dishes. The four microwave parabolic antennas are my best effort to simulate the radome covered antennas manufactured by Andrew-Commscope (TM). Other finer details such as the air circulating out of the side of the housing meant to simulate air conditioning to cool electronics that can get rather hot, grounding wires for the housing and tower, and signage have been added as well. It was built entirely by myself, including the basic electronics needed to power up the lighting. I have an interest in radio/tv/microwave engineering other interests of mine include astronomy, meteorology, and information technology. My name is Brian Vincent and I currently reside in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

My Web Site: modelrr.oakviewresources.com Part 21: This is a multi-part blog where I make the scenery on the river scene on my model railroad. In this video I continue putting in the bridge abutments and then start gluing in surrounding rocks. Music Notes: The music on this video was recorded using Sonar Home Studio Ver 6.0. The drums and keyboards were played on an M-Audio Keystation 61 ES and/or sequenced in the MIDI Editor. The bass used is an SX Fretless Jazz Clone Modded with Dimarzio J Pickups.
