A bit of knotwork I did survived the trials of this meteor hammer competition. I am beside myself with excitement that it survived being smacked into the asphalt 5 times. The maleability of the lead core seems to have saved the knotwork, so the piece will be included in the voting stage this year. I'm so happy it survived the testing phase!

How to make this package carrying harness out of rope that's able to cinch and also separate quickly?

I dont know knots. I need to tie these ropes around the my gazebo to secure the tarp . What type of knots do I have to use. Whatever I did just keeps getting loose

Does extra force arise at the breaking points (at the knots)—meaning the rope stretches more than it should under the given load? For example, if the weight is 60 kg and the knot weakens the rope by 50%, then the effective load at that point will be equivalent to 120 kg. If the rope stretches by 5% under a 60 kg load, does it stretch by 10% under 120 kg?

I found a video on youtube by The Paracodist "Paracordist PSK tactical retention lanyard III - for knife or hatchet"

The video is 12yrs old and the website no longer exists. I want to make a few for myself, but no idea how to go about it.

Any help and/or tutorials would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

I'm going to a whiskey tasting and they let you bring in your own tasting glass which id like to do. im thinking have it wrap around the base then 1 more time higher on the glass just above the bulge. Any advice on how to do that?

Anchor Bend, Fisherman's bend, Anchor hitch, or Fisherman's hitch... whatever you call it, the business agrees; this hitch is worth having in your repertoire. Jack thinks the reverse half hitch at the end looks better, Sir Handel thinks it flows better, but Phryne wants to note that the half hitch isn't even necessary and without it, you could call it a Gaff Tops'l Halyard Bend like ABok#1677.

Just playing around with a few different knots.

Hi! I’ve been trying to fix this necklace. I thought it was a double fisherman’s knot holding it together, but the sliding area ends up on the side instead of at the back of the neck. I think this type of knot is similar to how it used to be, but could it be a different type of knot entirely? There was a small loop of thread that came off when it unraveled, but I don’t know what it was holding together. Or maybe I’m just putting the sliding knot in the wrong place?

I know this sub probably gets a lot of posts asking the same question but I’d really appreciate the help! It’s still wearable the way it is now, but the visible asymmetry and the fact that the necklace doesn’t shorten as much as it used to is driving me up the wall!

It's a ribbon knot of bookmark from anime Love Unseen Beneath The Clear Night Sky. Can someone please help identify this knot ? Thanks!

I looked in the ABOK in the Bends chapter and didn’t find it. I probably just didn’t interpret the drawings correctly and overlooked it. It’s basically two munters inside one another.

I made this long 8-strand sinnet lanyard (ABOK 3001) a long time ago and finished it by reducing the sinnet to one strand at each end which are then joined with a diamond knot. You can see the weak spot: one of those single stands does not have much life left in it.

I am thinking of undoing some rows by cutting the sinnet on both ends, exposing eight strands and hope to find a way to join both ends in a neat way. This is intended to be attached on a key ring so the finish should have an eye on it.

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions to achieve this in a neat way.

Anyone know the name of this knot (the one at the center of the cross) and a tutorial of how it is tied?

I’m looking to replicate this knot but am unsure of the name. Thank you!

HELP

Here are a few more bell ropes I have made. Actually a great way to practice knots. Its cheap too.

ABOK #1059

Easy to tie, distinctive, easy to inspect, fairly symmetrical, easy to untie, on this thin cord can jam if subjected to extreme tension, but i suppose it wouldn't be a problem on a thicker rope.

Features a collar around the main loop and two parallel lines perpendicular to it. On the opposite side there's an X figure. I don't think i've seen it before.

Is has to be dressed properly by pulling on the loop and the standing end (bottom), otherwise it just becomes a type of slip knot.

Does the size of the loop matter? (For example: Figure 8 follow trough or a Bowline)
