Can we get a link to the instructions? I took marlinespike for 6 months at school but that was 10 years ago. Final project was a canvas bag just like this. Thanks!

This is great, but the subtitles cover up the stitching action.

Great idea on the videos Derek. There's a lot of interest in Sea skills these days. Awesome!

Will you please tell us how to get the ditty bag plans you showed. I cannot find a link on any of the museum sites or facebook page. Thanks
