* Lashings - Courtesy of John's email (dun mind i use uh)

Round lashing
tying two spars together side by side.
start with clove hitch tied around both sparswind around the two spars. tightly.
after every turn use ur thumb to press it down.
make sure its so tight that ur finger cnt go in. XD

Square lashing.
Quite .... a few disputes over how it should be tied. =X
haix. jus stick with the old one...(:
but. frappings dont overdo it. it will only wekaen it if frappings are overdone *hint*
next. poles are set at 90 degrees.
largely similar to diagonal lashing. jus tat diagonal lashing has the poles set at an acute angle.
clove hitch must be started and ended on different poles

Diagonal Lashing
only lashing with timble hitch as a starting.
end with clove hitch. dun end with timble hitch.
comparatively weaker to square lashing. jus tat.
it... shouldnt be much of a problem if tied correctly.

Sheer lashing.
^^. they didnt write any method. but. i jus brief through generally.
1. start by tying a clove hitch around the two poles. standing end.. the tip make it face up and pull it to the top.
2. keep winding around the two poles. and cover the standing end. make sure that the width of the two poles= thickness of the windings.
3. end with a clove.scissors leg lashing. can be spread out. if u wan to not make it spread. u can tie a clove again. although tat defeats the purpose of sheer lashing.
