We surely think alike. I have two mustaches to make. One is for a small workboat, the other for a real tug. I reviewed Ashley, and got some good ideas, but it looks like the best plan is to be original. My plan is to start with an outline of wire rope, weave in the manila to a mat, then use many short pieces attached to the framework with girth hitches. I'll start at the bottom so that each layer will overlap like shingles on a roof. We'll see how it works out. Love your mats and coachwhipping. Dick Thanks for the thoughts and pictures.
