[@oletaartman5384]

Thank you so much. I am using this knot to tie the ends of acolyte cinctures. The liturgical supply houses charge $26 /cincture and I can buy the cotton rope for 53cents a foot and tie my own knots. You saved us a lot of money!

[@MichaelR58]

Thanks for sharing ! I think the second way is more secure. I always learn something from your videos !

[@dankolar6066]

I have used the second variant, not as a terminal knot, but as a middle line knot. When tied in 1/2-inch hemp, with 8-12 turns, this knot forms a substantial box or chest handle. All that's needed is to pass the tails thru holes bored in the box sidewall, then half-hitching the tails. While not as spiffy as a fully blown chest becket, it does help one move the boot box.

[@KnottingKnots]

Yes, I can see how that variation would make a good easy to hold chest handle. Not everything in this world has to be pretty, useful is sometimes a better option!!!

[@UguysRnuts]

Though perhaps not "pretty", carefully tied in appropriate material, what Dan Kolar describes could certainly be handsome.

[@tizwicky]

I know this knot as the Admiralty Stopper.

[@KnottingKnots]

You may well be right, as an ex RN Stoker I do lack a fair bit of seamanship knowledge!! Are you ex RN?

[@CarlosPestonit]

Interesante video!!

[@KnottingKnots]

Carlos, thanks for popping over and leaving a comment. Are you a practical or decorative knotter?

[@CarlosPestonit]

I was a merchant marine and now I'm retired

[@KnottingKnots]

So a salty old sea dog like me then! Do you miss it, I do?

[@CarlosPestonit]

I work on merchant ships for 38 years and I remember it every day

[@KnottingKnots]

I personally miss it more and more as I get older.

[@cherylfreewalt5729]

I liked this video because you went through it twice. My problem is finding this knot with a hidden end. That is the kind of knot we have on the ends of our altar server cinctures. The cinctures always come with perfect knots. Of course, this seems to have become a challenge to some of our servers to untie it. It is left to me to retie; however, it never looks as tight. I know it is because I am trying to tuck in the end. Is there a trick to this--to make it tight with the end tucked in? Thank you.

@@jonathanstevenson8948 Thank you very much.

[@JarnoSuni1]

I wonder why the knot at the bottom of screen looks so thick.

[@KnottingKnots]

Do you mean in the photo in the video thumbnail?

[@JarnoSuni1]

@@KnottingKnots yes, and in the beginning of the video.

[@KnottingKnots]

@@JarnoSuni1 Ah yes, that is some really hard lay rope, and I struggle to get it to bend and form a knot. Trying to pull it up nice and tight was a bit of a nightmare. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@swub2]

I hate it when I Heave! Lol :)

[@KnottingKnots]

Might I suggest that you spend time on a larger vessel then? I remember when I was in the Navy, the longer I was in the sicker I got! Are you a practical, decorative knotter or forced into tying a knot when you have to?

[@UguysRnuts]

I use this knot on a regular basis, but never for heaving. In fact for heaving a line, this knot is of little to no value. Where it is useful, however, is as a stopper knot on a halyard, sheet or tackle when a easily gripped 'handle' or 'button' would make pulling the rope easier. Tied with two or three turns max, it forms an ergonomic ball that allows one to easily grab and haul a short tail. In addition, an unruly or unsightly dangling tail can be eliminated by coiling extra line up into this knot. Much preferable to a 'figure of eight'.

[@KnottingKnots]

Always love it when you leave a comment, good useful information. When are you going to put up a recognisable Logo? ;-)

[@UguysRnuts]

My U will have to do. My interests are too diverse to allow for a single 'U'niversal symbol. BTW can you explain the significance of your 'circle bar' arrangement? It reminds me of the pictograph for 'keep out'. Maybe not the most inviting icon if you're trying to attract an audience.

[@KnottingKnots]

It helps me to find my stuff easier. Also when a sign says "Don't Push the Button" you know what happens next. Maybe I should have a Welsh dragon seeing as I was on a Welsh ship??

[@UguysRnuts]

Does your Welsh Dragon reference stem from seeing my FB icon?

[@KnottingKnots]

No, you once mentioned you were in Wales and the link was the one of my ships emblems was the Dragon. Are we linked on FB?

[@o00oZu1o00o]

Your vids are really outstanding, because the knots you choose are always interesting, you teach very well, and you record in a way that makes tying easy to follow and grasp. So thanks a lot! Concerning this knot in particular, there is another version which is very interesting. We use it in tree pruning to throw our rope over a branch (the added weight at the end helps with the throwing). The added benefit compared to your version, is that if the end gets stuck, pulling it hard unties the knot and you can recover your rope. Watch this over version on the "educated climber" channel, it's called the noose. On this same channel, you may check the amazing "daisy chain hitch", which advantageously replaced the running bowline for me, when rigging very heavy branches.

[@KnottingKnots]

Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Thank you also for sharing the above information, I love to hear about knots actually used in anger! I will take a look at those that you suggest and you may see them on this channel, also with a mention to you.

[@o00oZu1o00o]

Wow thanks Johnny!!

[@neilwaters1151]

It's like the minute paracord bracelet cannot remember who did the video.Also a hikers hat band for out on the moors or downs or whatever your nearest lumpy hills are called.

[@KnottingKnots]

Thanks for popping over to my channel and leaving a comment. Are you personally a practical or decorative knotter?

[@neilwaters1151]

You keep asking that. Nothing at the moment got loads of ideas and not much time. Last day of school for the kids today and got decorating to do. Collecting things now, two walking sticks,two hiking poles, some keyring charms ect...

[@KnottingKnots]

Sorry, Neil, I get a lot of comments and try to keep them personal. Maybe upload a good personal profile picture to help me? If you have kids at home now, not much time for your own stuff. How about getting the mother-in-law over for a few weeks to help out? ;-)

[@tonykrk1]

very usefull much quicker to tie and untie than a monkeys fist you could also tie it round lets say 2 inch piece of concrete reinforcing bar to give extra weight for heaving.

[@KnottingKnots]

Yes, you are quite correct. You may also find this less stable version of interest: Heaving Line Noose Knot - Heaving Line Slip Knot - No Jam Heaving Line Knot kzbin.info/www/bejne/e37aoXSbeZJ7mdE Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@alessandro31011993]

Really nice video, I like your channel and I've also given you a thumb up, but is it really necessary spend 11 minutes for a knot? Probably you can improve the quality of your channel with shorter videos. Anyway, thank you for sharing all this with us!

[@glendyiaf.6783]

I wonder did they use that in the past to hurt lord Jesus?
