Knot Tying & Ropework

fishermans knot

*Correction - The Carrick Bend. The fisherman's knot is a simple whip to join a hook to a line. The Carrick Bend is secure, cannot be "spilled" and doesn't put undue strain on the ropes, decreasing their strength.

It got its name based upon its use. The Bangor Knot is one method to secure the line for a fireman's pole ladder, aslo referred to as a Bangor ladder. In the US, this knot is generally not taught or accepted for fireman's use, but it is used in some areas in the US.

To make a Flying Bowline, start by creating a loop with the working end of the rope, ensuring the standing part is on top. Pass the working end through this loop from behind, then wrap it around the standing part and pull it back through the loop. Finally, pull on both the standing part and the working end to tighten the knot, ensuring it forms a secure loop that can be easily untied after use.

First take their hands and do a knot around their wrist and then put their feet on your lap and remove their socks and shoes so they are barefoot and then do a figure of 8 arond their ankles then tickle them for extra fun!

It means that you are a trickster, having previously tied a different cherry stem and hid it under your tongue, so you could AMAZE YOUR FRIENDS with your apparent (and obvious) talented tongue-work.

The Sailor's Knot is one of the most commonly used knots to tie two pieces of line together. It may also be adapted to fasten a line to a pole. To tie a Sailor's Knot, make a loop with the first piece of line, then run the second piece of line over the loop, around the back of one end of the first line, through the trunk of the line, over the second end of the first line, and then through the first loop. There you have a Sailor's Knot.

A knot is a nautical unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour. The term comes from the old sailing ships where speed was determined by throwing a rope with a wedge shaped piece of wood tied to one end over the stern of the ship, and counting the number of equally spaced knots tied in the rope that fed out during a set amount of time. It is equal to 1.15 MPH or 1.85 km/h.

If you want to know the particulars, the knots were tied 14.4 meters apart and the sand clock measured out thirty seconds. One sailor threw the end of the rope into the sea while the other turned the timer over. The first sailor counted the number of knots passing through his hand until the other sailor told him to stop at the end of thirty seconds.

A nautical mile is the distance spanned by one minute of arc along a north south line passing through the north pole (a meridian), and is equal to 1.15 statute miles.

The statute mile is so named because it was standardized by an act of Parliament in 1593, i.e., a statute.

A km (kilometer) is an SI (Systeme International) unit for distance equal to 100 meters, a little less than 2/3 of a mile (0.62 mile to be more precise). The meter was originally standardized as one ten millionth of the distance along a line from the north pole passing through Lyons France (a meridian).

There are over 3,900 known knots, to date.

A great book on this subject, researched for over 40 years, is 'Ashley's Book of Knots'(1944), by Clifford Warren Ashley.

No. You should throw it away and use a new condom.

Rephrase your question as it makes no sense.

* Added - The question is understood. You whip or fuse the rope ends to prevent fraying and unraveling. Whipping is typically used on ropes of non-manmade materials, such as hemp. Ropes made of manmade materials, such as Nylon or polyester, can be heated and fused at the ends instead, although some sailros still prefer the more attractive use of whipping. In addition to these choices, whipping glue is sold, and in different colors, making it easy for a novice to prevent fraying of non-manmade materials.

When you mix the color white with the color red, it becomes pink.

One knot you could use is an Italian friction hitch aka a munter hitch or HMS.

I'd recommend abseiling with a figure eight though, or if you're inexperienced use a descent device such as a Petzl I'D.

Make sure you have the correct rope though!

This depends on whether you are referring to ropework, embroidery, or a scarf -

in ropework we have a French sinnet, a French shroud knot, French garland, and French masthead knot, to name only a few of the French knots, each with their own unique look;

in embroidery, it has only one common meaning, a simple "button" made by pulling thread/yarn thru a couple loops to pull tight;

for a scarf, it is simply 2 overhand knots with no unique look.

The term means 'to pull the knot up tight, but not TOO tight'.

no its an insulator

Generally you are talking about a complicated knot. I tie a bosn's knot and created a jig to tie it. I edited the question to correct the grammar.

There are all kinds of rope. Some is relatively useless and some are extremely good and durable. In rope, you basically get what you pay for. Cheap rope is inevitably junk.

A beautiful knot that can be used for an anklet, and it can be made from gold chain, is a 3 to 6 strand Turk's Head. As an anklet, the ends must be fused when it is completed.

It is a simple knot primarily used as a stopper to prevent a rope from passing through an eyelet. It should not be used for bend support where the smaller overhand knot is preferred.
