• Tie a clove hitch to upright stick. Be sure a knot is on side of stick and long end of chord is in front of you. Place other stick across upright stick.
• Pass long end of chord down over cross stick and around in back of upright stick. Bring cord to front under cross stick. Then bring up and over cross stick and in back of upright. Bring down over cross stick as in beginning.
• Wind exactly this way about three times. Pull cord tightly as you workout make it lie neatly beside earlier turns.
• Now you are ready for "frapping". Wind the cord about three times between the two sticks to tighten. Pull as tight as you can.
• To finish, make two half hitches around one stick. Or tie the two ends together with a square knot. Trim the ends and tuck them underneath the lashing.
