I have Billy's book and would like to know which page the top right side wrap is on it is the green fade. Looks like some variation of a spider wrap.

That is a Sparkler Pattern, wrapped by Mike Joyce. Unfortunately, you cannot print the corrections off The NERBs site, but you can see them at teh bottom of this link: [northeastrodbuilders.com] YOu can also e-mail me at xlrods@yahoo.com and I will foward you & anyone else a copy of the corrections so they can be printed out. I"m really sorry about this.

Actually, I spelled every word correctly, eventhough I was VERY tempted to slip in a "TEH" in the Intro. I know several of the books I signed have some "TEH" spelling jokes back there.

billy any chance of emailing me the spacing chart or not?? you emailed me the original page ages ago (before you published ) and it had hand written notes on it saying spacing between c &d was 3mm (but that only worked when i wrapped it with hauser rope LOL) surely that spacing should be 1.5 mm though 6 threads wide @ 4 threads per mm = 1.5mm
but i dunno you the man

cheers

allen
