Information on Knots and Braiding A good book on whipmaking, by the president of the Australian Plaiters and Whipmakers Association. (You can see their website at http://www2.tpg.com.au/users/ramskull/.) This book gives instructions on how to make your own whips, but it would take a lot more patience than I have to pull it off. There is a lot of good braiding information in the book, though, including how to braid your initials into the handle.

Lorelei's web site. Long time bondage magazine readers will remember her as Kristine Imboch. Although I don't usually link to pay sites, her site has a lot of good information on the free side about safety, both physical and emotional, as well as bondage techniques. Nice pictures, too.

Rope and Rope Supplies For rope bondage, a serrated knife with a blunt end is good to keep in your bag, in case you have to cut someone out of something your EMT shears can't handle. The best emergency knife I've run into is the "Rescue I" from Meyerco. Search on "Rescue" on their site to see it.

Rope and Rope Supplies A marlinspike is a wonderful tool when you are doing decorative ropework like crown sennits. The smooth point slips in between the strands of rope without snagging, and you can tighten individual strands to get a nice, even sennit. I looked long and hard to find a marlinspike with a belt sheath, so I could have it with me when I needed it. I finally found one at Myerchin Gear and Marine Classics. Another thing I was looking for is a traditional fixed-blade sailor's knife. They have them, too. Look under "Rigging Knives -- Fixed Blade".

Information on Knots and Braiding This is a smaller book than
The Marlinespike Sailor, with a lot of the same stuff. Buy it if you're a Hervey Garrett Smith groupie, like I am, but otherwise you are probably better off just getting
The Marlinspike Sailor.

Information on Knots and Braiding This Bruce Grant is not related to me. This one lived in the early part of the 1900's. He saw that leather braiding was becoming a lost art, and strived to catalog and preserve the braiding arts of the cowboy. There are a ton of interesting braids in here. The drawings, while clear, are not the easiest things in the world to follow.
