The rope should be whipped a short distance (One and a half times the diameter) from its end. Lay the head of the twine along the rope, make a bight back along the rope Begin wrapping the twine around the rope and bight of twine securely. Wrap until the whipping is one and a half times wider than the rope is thick
After passing the working end around the back of this fixed point, create a loop that is then placed on top of the ridge line as in fig 1. Once this has been done take the loop and wrap it around the ridge line (following the directions shown by the red arrows) until you reach fig 4. Next take the working end of the rope and create a bight in ...
The working end of a rope is prepared by tying a figure-eight loop, and then clipping a carabiner through that loop. The rope is then wrapped around a smooth pole, pipe, round beam or tree branch which has a diameter greater than the rope. The rope is typically wrapped 3 to 4 times around the anchor, without crossing.
Tying the adjustable grip hitch (slipped) The working end is wrapped inwards around the standing part (A-B) twice (1). Then another turn is made around both parts and a bight is pulled through the last wrap (2, 3) for the slipped version (left image), or just the end for the non-slipped version (right image).
Eye splices from Carl Smith's 1899 Båtseglareordbok [1] Eye splice from Alpheus Hyatt Verrill's 1917 Knots, Splices and Rope Work [2] The eye splice is a method of creating a permanent loop (an "eye") in the end of a rope by means of rope splicing. The Flemish eye is a type of circular loop at the end of a thread.
Diagram showing the (theoretical) 3:1 mechanical advantage of the Trucker's Hitch. In tightening the trucker's hitch, tension can be effectively increased by repeatedly pulling sideways while preventing the tail end from slipping through the loop, and then cinching the knot tighter as the sideways force is released. This is called "sweating a ...
A slipped half hitch [1] [2] is a knot in which the weight of the load the rope carries depresses the loop sufficiently to keep it in place until the load item is placed in its location. When no longer required the free end may be pulled and draw the loop through and so release the load.
Chain splice – Attached the working end of a rope to a chain. [7] Figure-eight "splice" knot – A splice-like bend knot used for joining two ropes. Horseshoe splice – A cut splice where the two sides of the loop are of unequal length. Long splice – A splice used to join two rope ends forming one rope the length of the total of the two ropes.
