Rope Making Machine First Run Making Polished Hemp Knotting Knots 2022-02-16 | Edward De Wit sent me this short video of his new Rope Making Machine in action. The old rope making machine had become rather tired, so Edward commissioned this beast of a machine to be made. Edward produces quality cordage in Belgium and he can be contacted via this link: http://igkt-solent.co.uk/quality-cordage-belgiumThis video is just a very quick view of the machine being put through its paces to produce 6mm polished hemp. There are plans to produce future videos demonstrating the full setting up procedure and detail on how the rope is made.Some of the technical stuff that you may be asking, regarding this Rope Making Machine and the production of Polished Hemp.What wax is used for polished hemp? Often beeswax or tarred beeswax is used.Technical Information:After intensive use of my old rope machine, there was wear and tear, also because I had the need to make very long ropes (100 meters) with a thicker diameter. My old machine also can't handle the weight of both the length of the rope and of the sled. The machine could also only turn clockwise otherwise the screw thread would come looseThat is why I have something new and much more robust ...So I asked a colleague at work in the mechanical department if he could help me with that because my background is very different, I also knew that working with gears is very precise work.I told him what my needs were to have a good machine. The conditions are a:- Can rotate both left and right- Robust, so can move a lot of weight (over 250 kg)- Larger hooks (to be able to use thicker yarn)- Gears ( ratio 1:3 )- Mobile- a recoil protection for both left and right turning (ratchets)- Operation must be both with a motor and drill and by hand- A good table that can take a lot of weight and can't tip over....He set to work with these conditions and the result is impressive, if I do say so myself.For the weight I use tiles each 22 KG heavy that I can store under the table.The hooks are M16 - 65 mm in size.To prevent the table from tipping forward, I use two extra legs that are 45°, at the foot of those legs there are plates with a hole. the hole is for putting in an iron tent pole and the other plate is for when I am standing in grass, it can pull itself into the ground.The machine itself weighs 26 kg and is about 30 cm high.P.S. There are no drawings or plans of the machine.The link above will take you to Edward's contact information.#LetsGetKnottingThanks to @MonotonyTV for the Royalty Free Birdsong clip.

How to Tie the Painter Hitch or Tumble Hitch - Quick Release Hitch Knotting Knots 2022-02-04 | What is the Painter Hitch Used For? A painter is the name of a rope that is attached to the bow of a small boat or dinghy. This hitch is often used when tying up or towing small water craft. Having said that, the Tumble Hitch is often used by cowboys and ranchers, as it is a relatively secure hitch.The Painter Hitch or the Tumble Hitch is a good secure way of attaching a rope to an object, this hitch also has the benefit of being quick release. Some people shy away from knots that are slipped, but I find that if the knot is dress smartly and tightly, then there is little chance of the hitch being tripped accidentally. However, as I always say, you are the master of your own knots, so the choice of course is yours.The Painter Hitch is also a useful hitch that can easily be used on dog leads and dog leashes.#LetsGetKnotting Johnny Debt I would also like to thank @MonotonyTV for any sound files used in this video.

How to Tie the Pile Hitch Knotting Knots 2022-01-28 | The Pile Hitch is an exceptionally easy knot to tie, untie and remember.What is the Pile Hitch Used For? The Pile Hitch is a very simple way of securing an object to a stanchion. This is not a permanent way of securing an object, as it may need adjusting on a regular basis. If say for example you have a line from a dingy and you want a quick tie and then quick release way of securing it, then the Pile Hitch will work well for that. Just remember that it does need checking on a regular basis. A good way of attaching a mooring line to a post.How to Tie the Pike Hitch: The great thing about the Pile Hitch, is that it can be tied in the bight of a rope. Simply take a bight of rope or line and pass it round the object; take the bight and pass it under the standing part; then pass the bight up and over the stanchion,#LetsGetKnotting Johnny DebtI would like to thank @MonotonyTV for any background sounds within the video.Finally, @WhyKnot please drop me a line.

The Halter Hitch is a quick and easy knot to tie and can be made more secure by passing the working end through the bight were the knot is slipped.The Halter Hitch is basically a version of the Overhand Knot that is slipped This then makes it a very good general purpose slipped hitch. I think I personally prefer the Evenk Hitch as an easier method of tying something up. I guess it is just how you get used to using certain knots. How to Tie the Evenk Hitch: youtu.be/bF_DZ1uqX7UAccording to Ashley's Book of Knots; The Halter Hitch is used on horses all over the world. It is basically a very quick and simple way of hitching an animal to a post. The down side, which is often told to me, is that some animals are rather clever and can easily undo this particular hitch.#LetsGetKnotting I would like to thank @MonotonyTV for any sound files used in this video.

How to Tie the Ossel Hitch - More Secure Version - Net-Line Hitch Knotting Knots 2022-01-14 | In this video tutorial, you will learn how to tie the more secure version of the Ossel Hitch, also known as the Net-Line Hitch. The simpler version of the Ossel Hitch only uses one turn around the rope or stanchion.This particular version of the Ossel Hitch was take from Art of Knotting and Splicing, by Day; United States Naval Institute, page 112. It goes on to say:What is the Ossel Hitch Used For? If a net is made with backing short lines, Ossels are used to connect the back and the headrope. This book then goes on to refer to the 1939 edition of Spencer's Knots. I am not even going to pretend I understand exactly what backing short lines are............. but I think I get an idea. Maybe a fisherman reading this can make a comment below about how the Ossel Hitch is used.My initial observations from tying this knot was, it is not too dissimilar to the Camel Hitch or a variation of the rolling hitch. I have not made a video on the simple version of the Ossel Hitch, but you can find it on the @WhyKnot channel.#LetsGetKnotting Johnny Debt Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots

How to Tie the Oystermans Stopper Knot - AKA Ashleys Stopper Knot Knotting Knots 2021-12-24 | If you are looking for an easy to tie bulky stopper knot for the end of a line, then the Oysterman's Stopper knot should suit that purpose.

How to Tie a 6 Strand French Sennit Brion Toss Version Knotting Knots 2021-12-17 | Shout-out to CRAIG in this video!! 😉 😉 😉 This particular version of the 6 Strand French Sennit comes from the Rigging Handbook by Brion Toss. If you are wanting to buy a book that is packed with decorative knotting projects, this is not the book for that. This book is dedicated to Rigging for sailing vessels. It is packed full of technical stuff that a rigger would need and want to know. However, there are a couple of decorative projects within the book, and this sennit is part of a decorative knife lanyard shown in the book.I did find with this particular 6 Strand Sennit, it was a little more difficult to achieve a good even finish. I wonder if, my cordage that I am using is starting to loose it's hard lay qualities, or I was a little to keen to get through this project?The formula for this 6 strand sennit is as follows; Split the leads into two sets of three (left and right), far left lead over one, under one and then to the bottom right. The far right lead is then passed under one and over two and becomes the bottom left lead.This particular 6 Strand French Sennit is often used when creating say, decorative knife lanyards, neck lanyards or even as part of a decorative surround on a picture frame.#LetsGetKnotting Johnny DebtI would like to thank @MonotonyTV for any sound files used in the making of this video.I often wonder what Tom from @WhyKnot is doing these day?I wonder if they video is classed as @artofmanliness ?How to Tie a 6 Strand French Sennit Brion Toss Version Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots

It is not the thickest book with the most knots, but it does have a set of decorative knots and techniques that appeal to me. In this video you will learn how to tie a 5 strand plait that is flat. The end result is a very pleasing chevron pattern running along the length of the braid or weave.Five Strand Plait Formula: Outside right over two to centre, outside left over two to centre, and then repeat.What is the flat Five Strand Braid used for? The pleasing pattern would make a lovely addition to a neck lanyard. This of course could be combined with other decorative knots to make a lanyard that stands out in a crowd. This would also make a good plait, braid or weave to add to the surrounds of a knotted picture frame.Johnny Debt #LetsGetKnotting I would like to thank @MonotonyTV for any additional sound effect in the video.

How to Tie 3 Strand Plait Doubled - (Flat) Knotting Knots 2021-11-26 | The Three Strand Plait Doubled, is probably one of the easiest of all the flat braids that can be tied using rope. The 3 Strand Plait is often used when creating the top loop of a bell rope. Simply weave the cordage together until you have created a long enough length to create the loop of your bell rope. This can also be used as one of the weaves when creating a decorative knotted picture frame.Weave Formula: Outside Left Pair, Over Two to Centre, Outside Right Pair, Over Two to Centre and then repeat.TOP TIP: I often find that when braiding any cordage, the first couple of weaves can be a little messy. So what I do is to do a couple of extra weaves, so that eventually the slightly scruffy bit can be avoided.Also, it can often be difficult to calculate the correct amount of cordage to use. For a simpler braid or weave, I estimate for every inch of weave, I will require about 1 foot of cordage. A more accurate way of calculating the amount of cordage required, is to do a short section, to see how much line has been used. Then you can multiply that for the overall length that you want to achieve.With any form of plait, braiding or Sennit, it is always best to go at a nice gentle pace and keep the tension in your lines at a constant. Always check to make sure that as your weave the line, there are no unwanted crossings of the line.This has been taken from: Creative Rope Craft by Stuart E Grainger (Superb little book 😉 😉 😉 )#LetsGetKnotting Johnny DebtWith thanks to @MonotonyTV for any background sounds used in this video.

How to Tie the Figure of Eight Bend or How to Tie the Flemish Bend Knotting Knots 2021-11-19 | The Figure of Eight Bend is also known as the Flemish BendThe Figure of Eight Bend is a great way of securely joining two ropes together. What is a Bend in Rope? Often when two ropes are joined together, it is known as a bend, therefore we have a Figure of 8 Bend, as both ropes are joined together using the Figure of Eight Knots.What is the Figure of Eight Bend used for? It is a good secure way of joining two ropes together. However, if used for critical loads, the the two working ends should be longer than those shown in the video. Also, for additional security, the two working ends can be tied off to the standing part of the opposite rope. The Figure of Eight Bend is best suited when the two ropes are of equal size. The Figure of 8 Bend if dressed correctly is not too difficult to undo, even if the ropes have been heavily loaded.#LetsGetKnotting Johnny Debt@MonotonyTV Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots

The wonderful thing about the Marlin Spike Hitch is that when tied with a marlin spike, it makes a great way of being able to pull a rope with the assistance of the Marlin Spike.Ashley's Book of Knots says: "2030. The Marlingspike Hitch is always used for heavy heaving on splices, seizings and service. To tie the knot: With the marlingspike in the right hand, lay the point across the marline and with the left hand add a turn of marline around the tip. Lift the spike and place the tip to the right of the standing part and slip it under the bight." So if you want a quick and effective way of heaving on a line, then the Marlin Spike Hitch will do the job!When making a temporary rope ladder, the marlin spike hitch can be used to create a rope ladder: youtu.be/Wa4uyMp1B6E?t=219#LetsGetKnotting Johnny Debt Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots
How to Tie the Lobster Buoy Hitch - Underrated and Very secure Hitch Knotting Knots 2021-11-05 | The Lobster-Buoy Hitch is very secure knot, but very underrated! According to Art of Knotting and Splicing, by Day; United States Naval Institute; it is a very secure hitch, "would be useful, if it were better known, on a variety of occasions." Ashley's Book of Knots 1714 "The Lobster Buoy Hitch was shown to me years ago by John B. Cornell, of Cuttyhunk, who used it for about every purpose and claimed it was particularly good to tie to timber. As the chief industry of Cuttyhunk was wrecking, I value his opinion highly on such a point. The knot is tied tightly around the standing part and then is slipped along the rope snugly into place."Maybe we could start a revolution and spread the word about the qualities of the Lobster-Buoy Hitch?#LetsGetKnotting Johnny Debt Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots
How to Tie the Halyard Hitch to a Spar or Stanchion Knotting Knots 2021-10-29 | This version of the Halyard Hitch is often used when you want to secure a line to a rail, stanchion or spar. This is an extremely good and sturdy way of securing a line to a stanchion. There is also the Halyard Hitch that is tied to a ring or shackle. I came across this particular way of attaching a line to a post many years ago. I have only ever seen it referenced in a book by Geoffrey Budworth, but I think it is a worthy knot to demonstrate on this Knotting Channel.Having played around a little with this hitch, I do love the security that this hitch offers. As the working end is first of all tucked under the three turns, then again under the final turn, tension on the line makes this hitch grip exceptionally fast. I would say that perhaps this knot could be a little difficult to undo if heavily loaded. There is the option to slip this hitch, but I am not sure that it would help a great deal. If you have had experience of using this particular version of the Halyard Hitch, then please do leave a comment below.#LetsGetKnotting Johnny Debt Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots
How to Tie the Triple Loop Bowline Knotting Knots 2021-10-22 | Should you ever need three loops on the end of a line, then maybe a good knot for that purpose is the Trip Loop Bowline.

The Triple Loop Bowline is used in emergency rescue situation, where there is a need for three loops to act as anchor points. Also all three loops can be adjusted, prior to use.

How to Tie the Spanish Bowline Quick Tie Method Knotting Knots 2021-10-10 | The Spanish Bowline is such a great knot to learn. Once you have learnt how to tie it, you will be able to do it in just under two seconds. The Spanish Bowline is actually much easier to tie, when not tied in the table top method as shown in the video. There are often times when you need a length of rope with two adjustable loops at the end.The Ashley's Book of Knots shows two Spanish Bowlines being used at either end of a ladder to suspend the ladder (202). The Spanish Bowline is also shown as an emergency sling to lift an unconscious person (265). Each leg of the person is passed through each loop. Then a hitch is made under the persons arm pit, against their chest. Then the injured person can be raised or lowered to safety.The advantage of a Spanish Bowline over say a Bowline in the Bight, is that the two loops formed are splayed or forked apart.

How to Tie the Timber Hitch or How to Tie the Bowyers Knot Knotting Knots 2021-10-05 | In the demonstration, I only used 2 wraps to complete the Timber Hitch, it is always best to use 3 or more. Limitation on my studio setup prevented adding more! When adding your turns, they should be evenly spread around the central core of rope, not bunched up as some photos show.Thanks to Michael Daniels The timber hitch is the knot used to tie classical guitar strings onto the bridge of the guitar. It can also be used to attach nylon or gut banjo strings to antique style tailpieces.The Timber Hitch is just a delight to work with, as it is easy to tie, grips fast an object and does not jam and therefore easy to untie. The Timber Hitch is also known as the Bowyer's Knot, as it is used to attach the end of the string to a longbow.Often when used for moving long poles of logs, the Timber Hitch is tied first and then followed by one or more half hitches (Killick Hitch). This allows the operator more control over the object being pulled.#LetsGetKnotting Johnny Debt Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots

If not, I often revert to using the Surgeon's Knot to join more difficult pieces of line How to Tie the Surgeon's Knot Video: youtu.be/zMaBlFdlSjQAs shown in the video, the Weaver's Knot is the same structure as the Sheet Bend. However, they are tied differently. When tying the Sheet Bend in yarn, it can be rather difficult to tie, using the Weaver's Knot method, just makes it a little easier to create the knot.I have found that when making a fishing net, some of the netting twine can be a bit slippery. So as mentioned above, give the knot some tensioning and then slacking to see if it works loose. If you find that no matter what knot you use, just put a little dab of finishing solution on the knot and let it dry.

According to Geoffrey Budworth; this makes a great alternative to the Clove Hitch; this particular hitch has also been used on nets to trawl the seas for cod.; it has also been adopted by the US Cavalry as a Picket Line Hitch. This is a very versatile hitch that can be attached to a good anchorage point and will hold up well on a right-angled load.One downside to the Ground-line Hitch is that is does not behave well when the rope is swinging.

Once the Jury Masthead Knot is tied, you end up with a form of sling that has four handholds.Art of Knotting and Splicing, by Day; United States Naval Institute , was my guide when I first learnt about this knot.How to Tie the Jury Mast Knot - How to Tie the Jury Masthead Knot was used to create this video.Ashley's Book of Knots 1167 says the following; 1167. The Masthead Knot or Jury Mast Knot is often found within “fancy knots.” Mainly because it is decorative, also this knot is not often used for practical purposes. The original use for this knot was to form strap around a temporary masthead to which stays could be held tightly. The knot has good binging properties and offers several loops to which the stays are secured with Becket Hitches. I personally think that the Jury Mast Knot is a useful one to know, as there are often times when a heavy awkward load does need shifting.The Jury Mast Knot can also be made into a decorative mat: youtu.be/3nVUiEW7JZMJohnny Debt#LetsGetKnotting Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots

However, you can watch this video till then: youtu.be/wKslyFv_5DU?t=197The Double Dragon Loop Knot, is not as well known as other loop knots. However, it is often considered by those in the know, to be a superior loop knot compared to some others. When the Double Dragon Loop is tied just as a loop knot, it is relatively easy to tie. It does become slightly more complex when tied around and object. Perhaps this is why this particular Loop Knot is not as well known.What is the Double Dragon Loop Used For? When tied the Double Dragon Loop is an extremely secure loop knot, it also has the advantage of being a secure loop in slippery ropes, such as Dyneema. It is also said that the knot can be loosened relatively easily if the knot has been loaded.#LetsGetKnotting Johnny Debt Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots
How to Mouse a Hook - Mousing a Hook Knotting Knots 2021-07-30 | How to Mouse a Hook - Mousing a HookHow to Tie a Reef Knot: youtu.be/xsXv_fR7ecUWhy Mouse a Hook? One of the main reasons for mousing a hook, is so that if you are using a lifting strop, it will not part from the hook when there is no load on the hook.According to Ashley's Book of Knots; When a hook is used to lift a considerable load, the hook should be moused. This is done by using a length of Marline, which is doubled and then a Bale Sling Hitch (Cow Hitch) is put onto the hook.A number of turns are then passed around the back and the bill of the hook in opposite ways. The two end then meet in the middle of the hook and then Frapping Turns are added in both directions, from the centre outwards. The Riding Turns are added, till the Marlin meets back in the middle. Finally this is tied off using the Reef Knot.Mousing a Hook then serves two purposes, one, strengthening the hook, two, preventing the hook from spilling. Perhaps in these modern times, Mousing a Hook will not help strengthen the hook?Mousing a Hook 00:00Tying the Bale Sling Hitch 00:43Adding Turns to the Hook 01:50Adding Frapping Turns 04:36Adding Riding Turns 09:01Tying the Reef Knot 10:44#LetsGetKnotting Johnny Debt Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots
Remote Release Lift Hitch - Easy Remote Release Knot - 2 Versions Knotting Knots 2021-07-25 | Dangers of using the Remote Release Lift Hitch:In testing the Remote Release Lift Hitch I have found that both Versions of this knot do work well, but the following things need to be considered prior to using this hitch:1. Do not use, if there is somebody underneath the load or there is a possibility that somebody could accidentally walk under the load.2. Do not use this hitch if your load can easily be damaged. 3. Test whether or not Version 1 or Version 2 of this knot suits your type of rope best. I have found that in some ropes, both Versions of this knot work well. However there are other ropes where Version 2 is more suitable. 4. Dress and tighten smartly, then make sure that there is tension on the line at all times. When the tension is taken off the knot/rope this hitch can then fail.What is the Remote Release Lift Hitch used for? There are often times where you may be aloft and you need to lower say, a buckets with your tools, or coiled cables to the ground below. By using the Remote Release Hitch you can lower your object, then when it touches the ground, you can shake the rope and the knot releases, lift the rope ready to lower another object to the ground. This certainly saves you a lot of climbing up and down a ladder, or for a second person to untie this knot.The advantage of Version 1 is that it is easier to shake the hitch free once there is slack in the rope. With Version 2 it is less prone to come loose, but does need an extra couple of shakes to release.Remote Release Hitch Intro 00:00Remote Release Hitch Version 1 00:21Remote Release Hitch Version 2 02:24Johnny Debt#LetsGetKnotting Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots

How to Tie the Falconers Knot - Tying a Knot with One Hand Knotting Knots 2021-07-15 | How to Tie the Falconer's Knot - Tying a Knot with One HandThe Falconer's Knot is not really the name of the resulting knot, but the way in which it is tied. The problem is that when a bird is sat on one hand, you really need a knot that can be tied just with the other hand. So this rather ingenious solution came about, when a noose knot that is slipped can be tied with one hand.Just because it is called the Falconer's Knot, does not mean that it should only be used to tether a Falcon. There may be a time where you do need to tie a knot with one hand, so maybe it is worth taking a look at the Falconer's Knot.Slipped Noose Knot that is quick tie and quick release. If you are worried about the knot being tripped accidentally, you can pass the working end back down the final bight, to prevent it from tripping.Johnny Debt#LetsGetKnotting Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots
How to Tie the Evenk Hitch or the Siberian Evenk Hitch Knotting Knots 2021-07-09 | How to Tie the Evenk Hitch or the Siberian Evenk Hitch.I personally love the Evenk Hitch also known as the Siberian Hitch of the Siberian Evenk Hitch. I personally know this as the Evenk Hitch. The reason that I love this noose knot is that it is so easy to tie. The Evenk Hitch also has the advantage of, that it can be tied whilst wearing gloves. So if you are out in the cold wearing thick gloves, then give this noose knot a go!What is the Evenk Hitch Used For? From what I understand the Evenk Hitch was originally used as a noose knot on reindeer. However, the Evenk Hitch is such a useful noose knot that it can be used almost anywhere where a quick tie and release knot serves the purpose. If you are worried about the slip knot being tripped, then just pass the working end through the last bit rather than the bight of the rope.The Siberian Evenk hitch is basically a figure of eight knot tied around the standing part of a line. Even thought the Evenk Hitch is slipped, if well dress and tightened correctly this knot has proved to be very reliable for me.Quick Tie and Release Noose Knot, slipped noose knot.Johnny Debt#LetsGetKnotting Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots
How to Tie the Reever Knot or How to Tie the Reever Bend Knotting Knots 2021-07-05 | How to Tie the Reever Knot or How to Tie the Reever BendThis knot is more commonly known as the Reever Knot, but I would say as it is you to join two ropes together, it should be called the Reever Bend.The secure aspect of this knot is that each line going in and out of this knot are clamped at two points. Therefore, the Reever Knot has excellent security properties and it less prone to shake loose when subjected to intermittent loads. The Reever Knot can be consider as one of the best knots for joining two ropes.The Reever Bend is very similar to the Vice Versa Bend.Another advantage of the Reever Knot is that it is a very streamlined knot and also decorative to look at.#LetsGetKnotting Johnny Debt Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots
How to Tie the Surgeons Knot or How to Tie the Ligature Knot Knotting Knots 2021-06-30 | How to Tie the Surgeon's Knot or How to Tie the Ligature KnotWhat is the Surgeon's Knot used for? The Surgeon's Knot or Ligature Knot can be used for binding things together. It is similar to the Reef Knot, but tied with an extra turn on the first part. This gives additional resistance (preventing slippage) when pulling up tight, before the second part of the knot is tied.Surgeons Knot for Net Making: I personally find this a useful knot to use when net making. When I start to run out of cordage, I tie on a new length using the Ligature Knot or Surgeon's Knot. There are times when a simple Weaver's Knot or Sheet Bend can come undone too easily. So the Surgeon's Knot is good for joining two ends of netting twine. The other reason that I like the Ligature Knot is that it is very easy to tie when you have two rather floppy and fiddly ends of line to join together.Stop your laces coming undone - If your laces keep coming undone, then try the using the first part of Surgeon's Knot, then finish with a bow as usual. Ashley's Book of Knots goes on to say the following about the Surgeon's Knot: 1209. The Ligature Knot is commonly called by laymen the Surgeon’s Knot. But surgeons do not speak of the “Surgeon’s Knot” any more than a sailor would speak of a “Sailor’s Knot.”I personally use the Ligature Knot a great deal, I just like the additional security that the knot offers over the Reef Knot.For More Less Chat Knotting Videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7nysDkNnZHc0Tba3EGCagrhA44Mu-MjO #LetsGetKnotting Johnny Debt Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots
Bypass a Damaged Section of Rope - Fix a Damaged Section of Rope Knotting Knots 2021-06-23 | You have damaged a rope, but still need to use it. There may be a time where you have a damaged section of rope and need to fix it, as you still have to use the rope. Well lets say right now, you will not be able to fix the rope, but you will be able to bypass the damaged section of rope. If your rope has been damaged, you can not tell how much strength has been lost from the rope. However, if you bypass the damaged section of rope with the Alpine Butterfly Bend or Alpine Butterfly Loop, you can still calculate how strong your rope is.The reason that I think using the Alpine Butterfly Loop is best knot for bypassing a damaged section of rope, is because it is a very strong and secure knot. If you do an internet search on Strength of Knot Chart, you will see that the Alpine Butterfly Bend rates very highly. When you tie any knot in a line, that knot will reduce the overall strength of the line by a certain percentage. The Alpine Butterfly Knot will only reduce the strength of a line by 25%. Often people would say you can use a Sheepshank, but one major problem with the Sheepshank Knot is that it can easily shake loose if not under a constant load.I would like to add that a damaged rope should only be repaired in this way in an emergency. Never use damage rope if there is a critical load or if the rope breaking can cause injury to yourself or others. A DAMAGED rope is DANGEROUS!Bypass Damaged Rope Intro: 00:00Tying the Alpine Butterfly Loop: 01:14Johnny Debt #LetsGetKnotting Channel Handle: @KnottingKnots

How to Mouse a Shackle Body - How to Make a Shackle More Secure Knotting Knots 2021-06-09 | How to Mouse a Shackle Body. In this video I will show how to Mouse the Shackle Body. The whole idea of Mousing the Shackle Body is so that if you accidentally knock the shackle after the shackle pin has been removed, the shack will not fall off the strop or sling to which it is attached. So if you are lifting many loads and constantly removing the shackle pin in order to change loads, you then have one less worry if the Shackle Body is Moused. Making a Shackle More Secure is the whole idea of this tutorial.Another good tip is, if you are constantly removing the Pin, then why not attach a lanyard between the Shackle and the Pin, there is an example photo here: youtube.com/channel/UCxfS18VYnZgg2rrJgzuX98w/community?lb=UgzaMfip9fjjS9LSWzZ4AaABCQOften when people think of Mousing a Shackle, you often think of mousing the Shackle Pin to the body of the shackle, this will then prevent the shackle pin from coming loose.

A sheet bend is a very simple way of joining two ropes together. The two ropes that are joined can be of different sizes. The larger rope is formed into a bight, then the smaller rope wraps around the larger rope to create the sheet bend. Often a sheet bend is used to drag cables through narrow pathways. The advantage of the Sheet Bend is that it has a low profile knot.The thing to remember with the sheet bend, once the sheet bend has been tied, both working ends of each rope should be on the same side. If the ropes come out on different sides, then the sheet bend has been found to be less secure.One problem with a sheet bend is that there needs to be a constant tension on the line, otherwise the sheet bend could fall apart.
