EDITOR'S NOTE

Cutoffs

Awhile back, Vince Ancona talked to me about an idea he had. He wanted to do an article on the best way to get materials home from the lumberyard or home center. Specifically, how to safely and securely tie down a load of lumber.

Now someone once told me that "if you can't tie a good knot — tie a lot of them." Unfortunately, that saying pretty much sums up my knot-tying skills. So naturally, I was eager to learn more.

As it turned out, we didn't have to look far to find some qualified advice. Jamie Downing, our senior graphic designer, has been an avid sailor for years. So he really knows his way around a piece of rope.

Our other knot-tying expert, Adolph Peschke, wrote the book on knots — literally. Adolph wrote the Boy Scout Handbook on Pioneering, which covers knots, lashings, and different ways to use them to build structures. If the name sounds a bit familiar, there's a good reason —

Adolph is the father of Don Peschke, founder and publisherofSAopiYotes.

With all this knowledge at our fingertips, you'd think that coming up with an article on knot-tying would be a piece of cake. But it quickly became obvious that we had more information on knots than we had space for in the issue. So we narrowed the field down to three basic knots that would handle most of your tie-down needs.

A short time ago, that would have been the end of the story. But now, we have the advantage of being able to give you even more information online. Visit our website and you'll not only find videos on how to tie the three knots from this issue, but you'll also learn how to tie an extra knot that isn't shown in the article.

New Face - Allan Ruhnke has joined us as a electronic image specialist. Thafs really just a fancy way of saying he's responsible for making all the photographs in the magazine look their absolute best.
