Knot Page Guestbook

Thanks for contributing to the guestbook, and have fun knotting!


Nice little site! Knots are therapy for me and any info on them is appreciated but, knots based sites are hard to come by that have any content worth reading. Thanks!

I was looking for a knot to end a string of beads close to the last bead. I did "knot" find what i thought might work; however, I spent an hour and a half practicing several knots from your illustrations. Fascinating and fun. I never though I could "do" knots. Thanks

Just browsing and found this very interesting. When I was a bachelor, I shared a home with a gentleman who worked for Ohio Edison as a lineman and could tie knots for every application. Here is a trade that utilizes what you are conveying. These can be good paying jobs and please make it aware that this is part of a skilled trade with practical applications.

Thanks for the web page. I enjoy working with cord, rope, and knots. I carry several pieces of cord in my pockets and share my knotting skills with interested parties. I then leave most with a new piece of cord in the hope they will continue their interest. It's satisfying to consider that perhaps Grandma's rocker will survive the pickup truck ride across seven states to a new home or some youngster will find his boat still tied to a tree the next morning after a campout on the river.

Thanks for all the helpful stuff about knots. I found your website because I'm a volunteer at Kenyatta National Hospital in Nairobi and I was doing a search for knot tying because I'm making a smallish soccer goal post for the kids at the hospital and I was looking for some advice on on how to make netting. I didn't find exactly what I'm looking for but enough to get by. The knots I'm tying certainly are not load bearing knots but they at least look like symetrical diamonds which makes the net look reasonable! (I thnk I'm using a really, really warped version of the carrick knot). Anyway, I'd like to comment that the background image for your home page is cool, but makes the type difficult to read. I think a plain white background with rope braiding for the borders only would be much more reader friendly and still convey the same ideal of kick-ass knot tying. From Nairobi, thanks again for all the hard work you've put in to your site. Casey

Greetings; I was surfing for some Turks Head tying guidance. I too appreciate the "simple" tools aka knives, rope & brains. I'm a bit of a knot nut in my circle of friends. I like to review the 'good ones' from time to time so I can actually use them when needed. I'm still not over the 'tricky' part as you warned. I guess I'm not doing a good job of controlling "rolling" the knot back & forth. Could you consider labeling the 'tag' end versus the 'standing' end? Thanks for your efforts here.

As a scout leader I am always looking for simple instructions to use to teach new scouts basic knots. this is a brilliant way--I can't use the animations-too many scouts but using the single frames make it very clear. Will be using this tomorrow night--thanks loads. PS I've been ambitious and printed off the turk's head instructions-it's our centenary this year and it would be nice if they all had matching homemade woggles!!!!

Interesting and well done animations! I did not see the version of a "triple loop bend", or "mooring hitch" I have used for years as a temporary quick-release mooring to a horizontal bar. Bend behind the bar, insert second bend from in front of bar, insert third bend from behind the bar, pull on the standing part. A jerk on the bitter end will release instantly. Thanks.

For some years I worked as a commercial diver.As you probably know, rigging is an essential requirement.During that time I worked with some boys from England.When securing a load they would most always use a knot they called the "LORRIE"knot. (meaning TRUCK in England ). Imagine securing a load down on a truck. One end is made fast. In the middle, the Lorrie knot (loop)then through an eye or cleat on the other side. The rope is then brought back through the loop and pulled tight and finished with a standard hitch. Most people make a loop using an overhand knot which hardly EVER can be undone! The beauty in the Lorrie knot is ,no matter how tight you pull on it , it simply falls apart !! Have you ever heard of this knot? If not pass it on to other enthusiasts and give me a hollar back if you would. I appreciate your time and efforts!Nice job on your website, I'll pass it on to the boys in the neighborhood.

As a leader of Sea Scouts aged 10 upwards, I teach one-handed bowline using the 'other" hand. Start it by passing the bight behind your back, then progress to tying it on a rope lying on the deck. Easy. I am looking for a method of tying the bowline into a heaving line as the line is thrown. I know that Breton fishermen use this method. Anyone know where to find it?

I like the way your website on knots is laid out. Animations are great. Consider for your next revision two suggestions. First - regarding the Turks Head and other similar decorative knots, you may wish to describe the diameter thickness of the string that would work best for the Woggle Slide. In my Wood Badge Staff Development Training that I am taking, I had mentioned that I thought 1/4" would be good, but I found out I was wrong. I have still yet to get to find out what would make a good size string for the woggle. The second topic is where you talk about knives for knots. Although I skimmed through your pages of knives, nowhere did I see any discussion regarding Geman steel. I use a K55 Mercator knife at work, and everyone has always said how the German steel, and specificaly Soligen Steel, holds its edge and how easy it is to sharpen. I just felt these two topics may be deemed worthy for your next update. As far as the humor goes, I loved it. I don't know how many times I have heard or seen the frayed knot joke, but I still love it. I do not know if you are familar with the Dragon Bowline joke where a student is taught how to make a Bowline then the instructor drops it on the floor and pulls it. To which the student says, "Now what are you doing?" and the instructor says, "I just made a 'Dragging Bowline!" (Ba-da-bum) I hope you found that worthy of putting into your humor section. Finally, I just want you to know that I will reccommend your website to my son's Boy Scout Troop when we restart in September, because I found it that helpful. Good luck and much success on your website. Yours in the Spirit of Scouting Phil Treglia Sr.

I am a Combat Medic, EMT, and a Nurse at Camp Speicher here in beautiful Tikrit, Iraq, and have been trying to learn how to make different designs, knots, and lanyards w/ 550 cord.

Love knots, thanks for a great Web site. I am looking for 2 that you don't seem to show: a fiador knot and something that may or may not be called a rosebud--both used to tie rope halters for horses. The man who showed me these also showed me a knot he calls a Turk's head, which is a nice knot but is NOT a Turk's head!

Thank you for an informative, well-illustrated and well-organized website. I am a boating/sailing enthusiast and volunteer boating instructor who likes to practice some of the old arts of the sport. One addition you may wish to consider to your knives (tools) section would be the use of palm, needle and bobbin for light stuff for binding loose ends and wrapping rope ends. I use a small version of the ones that you see commercial fishermen using to mend or form nets. It really improves an otherwise finger-destroying job.

Helpful site--we are trying to braid or knot or whatever to make something for my six month old Lab to play with. She quickly destroys store bought stuff that is labled "indestructable". HA! We have a supply of used flat nylon pulling tape so figured why not make our own toys and if she tears em up we ain't out nuthin.

Dear Alan, I wanted to know how to tie a particular knot and came upon your wonderful, interesting site. I would love to learn more. Are there people or groups who do knotting as a hobby? And what is the purpose ----what can you design that is useful? Your site is fascinating! Jane Pellowe

I found the site interesting, informative and will be a regular visitor now. After all these years in the construction industry I find myself climbing and rigging more now than when I was younger. The older I get the more safety conscience I become and thought it was time to start tying off more often when I'm a couple hundred feet in the air walking steel and building scaffolding. I'm gonna brush up on my rope work and hope this old dog can learn some new tricks. Thanks for the very informative and well linked site. Still climb'n and bang'n, Al

Thank you for the easiest-to-follow knot tying site on the Internet. I am an art/humanities teacher who teaches my students how to make Celtic knots and Japanese tetrahedron kites (among other things) which both require being familiar with knots as well as actually tying them. I was stunned to find that most children do not know how to tie knots. I looked around and found that most of the students wear slip-on or velcro shoes and most of the others with laces wear their shoes untied. So this year, rather than struggle with kids who don't know how to tie knots, much less draw them, I will introduce them to some basic knot tying. I will take your cue and use the colorful ropes for demonstration purposes and may even create some reference packets using your great step-by-step photographs. I will recommend your site as a reference for students who are inspired to go beyond my expectations and learn more on their own because the illustrations and animations are so clear and colorful. Thank you again for a job well done!

I absolutely love working with rope and it's always good to see someone putting his knowledge out there for the young scouts. Great reference, and thanks for your opinion on the books!

I have been involved in scouting since the early 1970s. This is a great webpage to reference for scouts to learn and practice their knots. I have taken a lot of ribbing about getting tarps up and secured for a Cub Scout Picnic a few years back. I still get called Mr. Knots or something like that. But, Picnic continued even in pouring raining. In todays world of free standing tents, we need to know are knows as part of being prepared. I thank Mr. Folsom allow me to use his material to train other leaders.

I'VE BEEN A GIRL SCOUT FOR 36 YEARS, 26 OF THAT A LEADER. I KNOW HOW TO DO THE MONKEY FIST AND MAKE IT INTO A FRIENDSHIP NECKLICE.(I USE A BLUE MARBLE INSIDE , BLUE BEING THE COLOR FOR FRIENDSHIP) I SAW A TURKSHEAD MADE INTO A NECKLICE AND WAS LOOKING FOR DIRECTION. I KNEW IT WAS A BOY SCOUT KNOT BECAUSE MY SONS AND HUSBAND ARE OR HAVE BEEN SCOUTS.THANK YOU I THINK YOUR DIRECTIONS AND MY SAMPLE WILL BE WHAT I NEED TO MAKE A NECKLICE. SHERI

Nice job with the animations. I am sailing with a patrol of guys in Lake Superior this week. I am going to challenge them to 30 knots. three levels, 10 each with some kind of a reward. I also like the Tom Fools and handcuff knots for fun. They can also be turned into sheep shanks(fireman's chair) My goal is to find old salts that have short cut methods of tying the knots. I learned one for the constrictor knot but unfortunately I forgot it before I could draw it. Tie on!

Thanks for taking the time to create this site - it's great, especially the step-by-step animations! I'm living in this little mountain village here in Japan, and was asked to do a presentation about "something American" at the local elementary school. I decided to talk about scouting, and then teach the kids some knots. Which was a great idea, but I wouldn't have been able to do it without the "refresher course" reviewing your site proved to be! Thanks again! "Doumo Arigatou!"

A very informative sight. Lots of good visual examples, easy to understand, simplicity at its finest. Very quick to get in the web site, easy and quick to browse, and I use a dial up connection! Nice job! I have always known how to tie knots, just that I could "Knot" always REMEMBER the mechanics into tying certain specialized knots, such as the taut-line hitch or the turksheads, and knew that, just like studing a subject, having a constant renewal of information to oneself, the information is more in-grained into the memory and there is a greater chance of remembering the process of tying knots over the long-term. I believe that we will always have a need, in some sort of societial way, and moreso in a survial aspect in the future,we will defintely have a close relatioship to knots and the usefulness they bring now, and into the future. That is why I am adding this site to my "favorites" list.I think it is better to be prepared and never to late to learn something new (even though it might be old). Everything is useful if you know how to use it. Your site does what it is meant to do and it is at the top of the list on the "google" search engine. I have no comments on improving the site, except that maybe there were scantily-clad women in climbers-gear,exhibiting climbing postures...hahahahahaha.....imagine....but really,have more info, or a better wording, more of a relationship (in words and pictures) that a climber or mountaineer uses these specific knots (example: the Tarbuck knot) on a regular bases. But these claims would have to be certified by having 'true' interviews with real climbers, and get a consensus, say out of 100 climbers, the majority (85%) relied on a Surgeons Knot to carry bundles over other type of knots. And this could be a statistic for knots, and a better search for people who would like to remember just a few knots, and not 50, as an example.Also, you could easily use govermental officals, or other people who use knots on a constant bases, and use them as a reference, and maybe put a link on the left side of your main page to a "testomonials" link and have a picture/word presentation, from climbers to Department of Fisheries officers, and as well, you could have testomnials, or a reference link to people who use knots from around the world, and what they use them for. You could have a seperate list OR link that talks about the uses of knots to everyday tasks. Have a link to a picture/word representation page and show 'where' and 'how' knots are useful and where they are used, and possibly alternative ways, like a "secret use for Knots" page where you or people send in ways that knots can be used that have never or is rarly seen, and you use and show unconventional ways to use knots, with pictures and words, like a MacGyver type of rope mechanics. Ever watch The Red Green show from Canada? Well he uses Duct Tape for everything, and is a big draw for crowds. But the example is from him is, have people send in pictures of art sculpture pics completly made from rope, like people make sand sculptures, or Red Green makes Duct Tape sculptures, you could as easily have a contest for the best sculpture or use of rope, using knots, and have people send in 5 or 10 dollars per entry, and have a $100 prize or something, but if you get 50 entries at $10, thats $500 dollars, then invest that into something bigger and better.This is the end of my rant. It looks like I did have a few comments. Hope you enjoy them and hope they inspire. Have a good one!! Shane Buck

The reason I came to this website is because I'm a nursing student and we are learning about restraining patients who may otherwise fall out of bed or go wandering (very unsafe), but when we restrain them we have to be able to use a knot that can be pulled and released immediately...no one seems to know how to teach us these knots..so I'm doing some research. Which knots would you recommend? We usually have two pieces of string about the same length that tie onto a pole...but need to be able to be pulled once with a quick release.

Right now i am looking for info on braiding 3 strand rope. I run a high and low ropes challenge course at a counseling facility for adjudicated youth. This braiding is used to make ropes to swing from and various other things. Didn't find the info here.

Great informative website! When I was in the Scouts 25 years ago I failed to get the Sailing Merit Badge because I couldn't figure out how to splice rope. The only learning resource back then was the scout handbook and it was pretty weak in the rope work diagram info. With all the books and online info available now, it's a lot easier to learn some of the knotwork out there. Thanks!

What a wonderful site! When I was young my father had an encyclopedia of knots that completely defeated me. He tried to teach me some knots but mainly what I recall (other than the square knot) is some of the names. Maybe I'll look up "bowline on a bight" here. Actually I'm reasonably proficient at tying my shoes. -But that's pretty much a square knot isn't it? I found this site because I cut the strings on a set of blinds too short. I remembered my Dad telling me that a square knot isn't the right knot for "lenghthening" a "rope". I just tied a bowline in some clothesline I recently turned up in storage. ("Haul on the bowline - We sang that melody like all tough sailors do when they're far away at sea." Thank you!

Nice site! I'm looking for the instructions on how to tie those pesky little corded buttons on Chinese clothing. What knot is that called? I was taught while living in Beijing, China for 12 years but alas, since forgotten how. They wrapped it on a chopstick which made it easier than wrapping it by holding it in your hand. Thanks for the info. Juli

This is a very helpful resource. I got your web site from a Scoutmaster who had your large turk'shead on his hiking stick, so I'm going to try it for my son and I. I am a Cubmaster and Webelos leader of Pack 322 in Evansville, Indiana and a budding "knot head". Our April pack meeting theme is called "Knot Night" inspired by the general lack of interest and knowledge of utility and decorative knots among scouters I have seen. My Webelos den just finished a Craftsman badge project of making a turk's head neckerchief slide using 3 different colors of parachute cord (I secured the ends with a little Gorilla glue and trimmed it with a Dremel tool). I will pass this web address along to my fellow "knot heads". Thank you for this valuable resource.

While in the Boy Scouts I was never introduced to knot tieing. In the 70's came the macrema craze. I found that macreme spoke to something deep inside of me. I'm 57 and surprized at my interest. I do sail and there is nothing quite as gratifying as the right knot in it's proper usage. Using the wrong knot for a job is rather like using a hammer to drive a srew or drive a nail with a srew driver. Ham

From my experience with my then 5 year old son, I know that it only takes a flash for a child to break free while you are holding their hand (lost him once for 20 min like that on a busy street). Thus I was looking for a way that a that I could tie Sophie safely but securely to me (was thinking of some arrangement where the rope would go behind her neck and then around her waist and then to me. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much

You've got a great site. I'm gonna use your diagram of a multi-bight turkshead in my work. Thanks! The knife that I use is made by Victrionics or aka Swiss army knives. They have a very slender serrated folding knife that holds it's edge for a long time and is easy to sharpen. Stop by and see my site at (www.nantucketlamppost.com). Ps. I started knotwork in the Boy Scouts 40 years ago. Yes, Sea Scouts too. Thanks, Lars Pps. I'm gonna make a large 4 bight 3 lead flattened turkshead using 2" docklines. Do you have any diagrams on how to start it out in the flattened form rather than starting out round and then flattening it. Your advice would be greatly appreciated. I have "Ashley's" but it is sort of vague.

Hi! I am curently viewing your page and hehe, learning a few knots that i can use in my work, for I am what you would call a "grip" on film shots, where to know a couple of great knots is never enopugh for rigging and safety.. Allthough while looking thru your page ia found missing a knot that i learned as "truckies hitch" wich I use a lot for tying down stuff (well not that I found finally the way to make a clove hitch stop when working with the wrong kind of material, thank you for that, it is the knot that I use and like the most for when winding it is adjustable and non slip!!!) and the truckies hitch that i have seen well they have nothing to do with the one I am asking about, If you need and can ppost I wil gladfully give you some series for your '50 knots' for it is a killer when you lack ratchet straps or the lack for really tying down stuff to vehicles or anything else, just let me know haha and copyright be dammed for I learned it on the job not from a book

I'm only a tenderfoot, in his middle years, who recently spent hours tying and retying ropes during the prosecution of a project that I'm currently engaged in around the house - only to have each knot come undone the moment it was subjected to substantial tension. Your pages on knots - which I intend to go through carefully over the next couple of days - are invaluable. I've only seen and practised your page on Basic Knots so far - and they have proved just the ticket. Thank you very much. And don't ever let these web pages of yours lapse: they are priceless.

I am able to toss a length of rope over the branch I'm interested in tying to, but don't have any way to "manually" cinch up a knot. Do you have a suggestion for a good firm knot I could use that will "slide up" to the branch? Thanks for your help!!

I love your site. It has really helped me with a lot of knots. Do you know how to "throw" a clove hitch? I have seen a man do this but have not been able to pry the secret from him. Basically you hold thin rope in your hand and whip it around a couple of times. Like magic, a clove hitch appears on your index finger.

Ifound a knot book in Barnes & Noble as I have been looking to find a knot to tie my shoes with that is a single not and will not come loose and a double knot is not needed. Since I have serious back pain I find it hard especially in the AM to bend down to tie my shoe laces. Another problem with a single knot is one leg is more swollen than the other and the shoe loosens up during the day often with the result of a loose lace. The single knot idea came from a newspaper article quoting a person from the state of Washington. I appreciate any ideas.

Hi there. I found your site while looking for info to tie a handmade peruvian hammock to a maple tree that I dont want to harm. Talk about knotting! My father-in-law, Antonio, has been making fishing nets all his life .He lives on the coast of Peru, in Trujillo. He makes huge ones for boats, and also very beautiful circular casting nets, using bright colors of poly rope, and he makes his own weights by taking a piece of pvc pipe about 1 1/2 inches long, and cutting it lengthwise, making a "C" shape. Then he presses this shape into a box of wet sand, and pours in hot lead. My husband says his dad always drinks orange juice or milk after he does this because the lead is bad for his head. Thought you'd enjoy this little story. I have not yet decided which knot to use for the hammock, but I'm sure I will. Your site is terrific. Regards! Judy

I've only just found you website. I don't have a comment, but I do have a question. I'm attemting to learn Turkshead knots. I understand the mathematical formulas that must be followed with regard to size. What I'd like to know is if there's a formula for determining the length of the strand relative to the knot size? I'm already cringing at the thought of getting partially or mostly finished with a knot only to find out that the strand isn't long enough. I'd appreciate any guidance you can provide. Regards, JJ

O.K. I'll include a new reason why your site was visited. My 4th grader is studying the Oregon Trail. A long the way, they do projects. A fun one was to add up (done in points and lbs.) everything you are going take on this journey. Many forgot salt to preserve the food or things to trade with. Anyway, my daughter is going to show some basic knots that will come in handy on these dusty trails!!!

Great site! Can you tell me how or where to look to learn how to splice a loop into a rope. It is a knot I have often seen on ships/boats. The end of the rope is spliced back into the rope itself so that there is a loop at the end of the rope. Thanks for the great site. My sons are learning their basic knots and I have had a great refresher on several knots that I have long since forgotten.

A freind of mine stores his 550 cord in a circular knot that easily pulls loose from one end. It is a continuous series of knots but I dont know what kind. Someone told me people refer to them as ranger rings, but I cant find any info on them.

Re: Knife Lanyard Knot (Budworth, CBDK, pp 48-49) A decorative knot used to bring together two lines of a lanyard I'm not sure if you already knew this, but this knot is just a Full Carrick Bend with an extra turn added to the end. I am not trying to take away from your website, as it is a beautiful and usefull knot, but you really should mention its relationship to the Carrick Bend, as it helps one understand how to tie it, and it lets one know that the knot is not only decorative, but also as strong as the Carrick Bend (one of the strongest). Lawrence
lawrence <lawrence@pathcom.com>
toronto, on canada - Thursday, September 18, 2003 at 17:31:12 (EDT))

Site Owner's note: - Not so much an extra turn, but an extra pass of each working end over the corrsponding standing end, then up through the center of the Carrick. This should be clear from the illustration. Then again, never underestimate the power of an extra 'turn'. The contrictor knot, one of the grippiest I know, is only a clove hitch with an extra tuck. (See the illustrations!)

Got to your site from Exciting Scout Craft, from searching on making knot boards on Google.com because my daughter's Junior Girl Scout troop is going to a Girl Scout Kaleidescope Camporee in Santa Barbara, California in 2004 and they want to compete in the knot board challenge. Your site is just great to teach them the knots! It's been too many years since I was a Girl Scout doing this! Thanks!

Great animated view of knot tieing. Also I really enjoyed your knotty jokes. I am the committee chair for Troop 542. When my oldest son crossed over to Boy Scouts I thought that was when Mom's backed out of the picture. Well I was encouraged to go the first campout and I have been hooked ever since. Knot tieing and pioneering have become a fascintation for me. I love it when something needs to be tied onto a trailer or roof rack and I'm the one who can step forward with confidence and show the men how to do it right.

Interesting sight for beginners. Suggest you add some harder knots, e.g. jury, mast head, flat turks heads carrick mats etc. It's interesting researching the history of Knotting. A book I call my "Bible" is the "Encyclopedia of Knotting" Very bloody hard to get in this country. Worth it if you can get it. Enjoy you knotting.

Could only print first page, which would not print but the first 3 lines of the Turks Head Chart. Could not print any of his comments except what is on the first page. Could print out his "Bights" page except for the written comments and could print out the color pictures at the end of the article but no printed comments???? Does he have a book out. Or do you have any suggestions??

Am a seller of ropes at marine shows and farm shows. Do splicing on the spot and am jealous of my work...do not do double braided splices however as they intimidate me. Have met Brion Toss and bought his splicing tools several years ago at Annapolis boat show. Will eventually learn and offer double braid splices perhaps. Like to learn more about Turks heads ect.

Can you help? When I was a scout, my leader told me the differance between a bowling and a sheepbend was the direction of pull on the knot. A sheepbend should pull through the eye of the knot and a bowline through the side. Any thoughts on this as the bowline demonstrated on your pages show the pull through the eye? Great site well done.

Thanks for the great site. I was looking for information because I am a Girl Guide leader for a Guide unit in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Of course we have the requirement that the girls know how to tie certain knots too. I was a Brownie for only part of a year when I was young so I never learned how to tie knots. I know the reef knot, the sheet bend, the clove hitch and the round turn and two half hitches but I needed to know the bowline and the slip knot as well. Now I know the bowline. Thanks.

This is well done and the animations are very helpfull.After I watch one and tie the knot a few times at my PC I'm ready for "real world" application.If I need to,and I do often,refresh my memory I come back and run through them again.A couple of these knots are almost reflexive actions when I tie them.Practice makes for progress and I'm staying with the basics for now or my brain will get to full to fast and confusion will wrap itself around my mind.Thanks for this site.Very,very helpfull and practical. Warmest Regards "Charlie"

First off, thanx for the great page. Secondly, I am a life Scout in Troop 22 and I am working hard to achieve the honor of being an Eagle Scout. For the past few years I have been intrested in the "art" of knot tying. Unlike my fed-up friends, I still enjoy learning new knots from one of my scoutmasters, who is a fieman in the military. Thanks again for supporting the Boy Scouts and "art" of knot tying! Sincerely, Chase Beasley

Good site. I appreciate the animated knots even if they give me subliminal snake images. I would like to see the Tarbuck hitch animated. Growing up as a city boy I had limited experience with ropes. My father was a tree surgeon as a young man and his life depended on the knots he tied. Lately I have found myself always carrying a length of cord to practice knots, when I have a few minutes to kill. There's a sense of satifaction using a rope to secure a loaded truck rather than spending money on nylon tiedowns.

Thank you for such a wonderful site. I couldn't believe that it was animated, but must admit that I'm a little slow so had to see some of them quite a few times!! I'm an artist (mixed media - work a lot with clay and wire - among other things - so knots play an important part in my creations. My clients are always impressed when my clay terra cotta pots are decorated with clay knots or when my jewelry contains knots they've never seen. Thank you again.

I will now pass on all the sites that I have found tonight to the relevant Scouting people here. I have just changed jobs and now work as a truck driver for a boat building firm and they do a lot of work with ships and this has renewed my interest in rope work. Thank you for a great site.

I had a turkshead tied on my wrist about 10 years ago. It is still there, but somewhat worn out. I want to replace it before it actually breaks. I'm having a problem finding the type of multi-strand synthetic 2mm rope to replace it. The rope is actually an inner and outer ,two layer construction. A sailor tied it on my wrist. I haven't found anyone to re-tie for me. Soooooo looks like I need to get help and do it myself. FIRST I HAVE TO FIND THE SAME TYPE OF SPECIALTY ROPE..ABOUT 2 mm, multi strand, incredable tough-it lasted 10 years on my wrist!!!!!!SECOND I HAVE TO TIE THIS ON MYSELF!!!!! I have begun to practice...but I can't seem to find the exact replacement rope. Any help or assistance would be most greatfully accepted. The turkshead is especally signifcant to me since it signifies my connection to my Lord. Replacing this rope bracelet is a must for me. I believe you would call this a three lead, seventeen bight rope bracelet. Thanks again for any help or assistance you could render. Best regards, Steve

I very much like the animation of the knots. I am long since been a Scout. I would like to see more animation of the more difficult knots. I believe that the fledging knottyer would benefit more from that type of instruction. Hope I wasn't to gabby. Please feel free to respond back if you so desire. Thanks.

As a former commercial fisherman and current oilfield worker on Cook Inlet's offshore platforms I appreciate your basic coverage of the more common knots as well as your annotated bibliography. Knots have a useful application in almost any trade or outdoor work. Learning knots that don't require a hatchet after one use is a boon to a fair number of the jobs I've had.

I am , or was a member of an internet knotting organization whose name I forget...my brain must be tied! I tie bracelets of leather that fasten without a mechanical clasp, instead I use two interfitting end knots for the closures, I will send along a picture for your inspection. Keep up the good work.

I figured it out finally and then thought of searching on the web. In the process my son, who gets stuck on the tautline hitch, watched the annimation. He says he "got it". If not, we now have the site bookmarked to visit again. Since I am Cubmaster I am glad to have this site to refer the boys to. Yours in Scouting. -Roy

My name is Edmund Marco and it's a pleasure to sign your guest book. I work for an advertising agency in London. Our agency represents direct marketing companies that are involved in the marketing of products as seen on TV in England. Most of the infomercial products come from the U.S. but then again we export our talents as well. My brother has appeared in infomercials in the U.S. advertising various products. I think it's hilarious that English people respond so well to American products while Americans tend to respond well to sales people who have an English accent!

I was surprised to find it at a local Border's for $10--as it's HB & thicker than his $17 Handbook!? --thinking B.'s made a pricing error and meant "$19", but ...? --prettier images; I've not compared contents & text; surprisingly he botches Oysterman's stopper; sadly he continues the publication of Thief, Granny, & Highwayman's Hitch. ... . Cheers, --dl* ===

Alan, I loved the knot animations. We spoke last Saturday at the Scout store and then my scoutmaster, Al Bruno, sent me an email with your link and suggested I check it out. I did take you up on your offer to put a link to your page on our page. I hope our scouts enjoy it as much as I did. I was going to suggest to my sons that they contact you about the Comuters Merit badge. I had seen from the list that you were a counselor and that you lived in Doylestown area. They are both interested in computers and our troop has been saying they were going to offer it as a troop for a long time but I know they have other ones on the agenda in the near future. I enjoyed your site. Tim McKevitt ASM Troop 137 Warminster Pa.

Thanks for the interesting site. Regarding knives and ropework, I self-taught cutting rope with a straight blade (Myerchin is good) and a wooden marlinspike. It's surprising that the blade, although hammered through nylon, hemp, poly, cotton, rope does NOT damage the surface beneath. There's a surprising amount of control while cutting in this manner. Although my sailing days are probably about over, I find that ropework is the greatest benefit from those days and I never cut a rope without a knife and hammer. If you haven't tried it, I'd like for you to experience the traditional rope cutting method. Why? Because the line will fray less, the cut will be cleaner. Certainly, a serrated blade would be quick but it would make a mess of the line end. -- Marc

I have been through all of my knot books (about 20) and had yet to be comfortable with my ability to teach this knot. Your instructions made the little light bulb over my head go on!

Andrew Lowen <andrewlowen@federalwayfire.org>
Federal Way, WA USA - Sunday, November 11, 2001 at 18:47:57 (EST)

Site Owner's note: - Ah, the hoary old jokes -- A 'Dragon Figure eight' is mostly similar to the 'Dragon Bowline' as described by Brion Toss, (drag it across the ground). The 'Flying Bowling' is probably how I bowl, when I forget to let go. Alternatively, throw a bowline or other knot across the room - a 'flying' knot!


Some nice work.

My entire association with the scout movement has spanned about six months, so I was horrified when I realised I had to learn nine knots as part of my basic training!

Al, This is a really interesting and well done page. It has been many years, but this takes be back a long time to my boyhood when my father showed me some of these knots as well as some of the other marlinspike basics on 1/2" three strand hemp rope. I can still remember the smell of the rope. Thanks for a wonderful memory. At a much later date he also gave me my first Buck 110 in the late 1960s. Alas, the knife was lost (to be replaced more recently by a goodly number more Buck 110s and others) and I have never really had occasion to really use the knowledge of knots he taught me except for very basic day-to-day use, but the good memories remain. Thanks and best wishes, Wray A. Harrison
