Carrying on the Tradition: Rope Fenders 

Always great to see a real skill being passed down. Good on ya.

Lovely to see

How do you start and finsh the fender, is there a video or plan I can see? They look great and would be perfect for a certain tug here.

Do you guys still weave beards for the bows of the tugs?

Coool

must have a lot of down time to afford the man hours to make these.

you ain't pushing no barges in no locks anywhere without the lockmaster telling you a bumper is required....everyone still uses rope fenders

I love the video but I'm gonna tell you right now Everyone on the Allegheny mon river Ohio River Tennessee river Mississippi river We all as decades still make rope Bumpers
