John this will Kill you.

[@dennisharold5030]

I'm sure you can do it too. Just look for Wood Prix plans.

[@spoede64]

Thanks for all this high-quality videos! Explenation, speed, number of repeats... well done and balanced! Love it!

[@adamwhiteson6866]

Nicely done, as are all your demos. Tx.

[@KnottingKnots]

Glad you like them! 😉 😉 😉

[@gam940]

Awesome, cool ,simple knot

[@KnottingKnots]

Thank you! Cheers! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@ChadLawson3]

Love the use of a Cribbage board for your "plank."

[@KnottingKnots]

Yes, always good to use the right tool for the right job 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@kareno8634]

*HAIL!* You're quite right, using suspended *Short* Plank is "Temporary", for One *taking Long Walk. 8{|* lol

[@thearchibaldtuttle]

A colleague from Poland, a Pole, wasn’t amused when I tried to apply the knot on him!

[@teatowel11]

Cool, its very much like an alpine butterfly.

[@KnottingKnots]

It also reminds me a little of the Farmers Loop: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXnLYYimnthlf68 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@001deathstar]

I actually used one of these knots on a project. The asbestos removal company brought rope on a siding project, but forget to bring the pump jacks or the wood 4x4 poles. One of the guys was a steel worker and knew the rigging knot. We threw the rope over the roof of the house and tied it to his truck bumper. We used the hitch on planks and got the project completed. It was not OSHA approved, but the project got done.

[@KnottingKnots]

Great when things work out!!! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@davegehr]

Good one Johnny! Immediately put that knot to use for a shelf to store bicycle parts and tires. Works wonderfully, and I can move it wherever I need.

[@KnottingKnots]

Would love to see a photo, can you drag and drop one here: bit.ly/yourknotwork

[@mvanikumari1264]

I practiced.i got this knot.thank you for sharing.

[@abdullahbiladal9785]

You and most of the sites are telling only, how to tie a hitch. Better it is to teach also that where it is used or where and how it is used in normal working life. Thanks.

[@zchuss1]

This is one of those knots I have used once in thirty years (1988 to be exact two years before my daughter was born and the same year I found the abok in the local library.. an original copy I never gave back). I needed a shelf over a sink quickly and cheap...I put two screw in hooks into the wall and tied each end with the scaffold hitch and I made it level by wrapping the wire around the each hook.. it lasted for three years until we moved... in that time it took more weight that a bracket would have.

[@KnottingKnots]

That reminds me when I first got ABoK, once I had it, I thought I would be able to tie any knot?? I ended up getting a few other books first, to understand what the hell Ashley was on about. Bit thick me! Good story about the scaffold hitch, was it part of the fittings for the next person who moved in?

[@zchuss1]

It was still there many year's later as a couple I knew moved into my old flat and they continued to use it. I remember putting 30 tins of dog food on the shelf to test it when I first put it up. I used plastic coated fishing wire that had a breaking strain of over a hundred pounds and no stretch. Very thin and was hard to see from other side of the kitchen. It was originally supposed to be temporary but it worked so well I left it up.

[@sloanIrrigation]

Notch the board on each end for a permanent swing. Used it for my kids swing from an oak limb

[@hendrixbigs9363]

Super węzeł, bardzo przydatny film. 👍

[@mikepeace537]

Thanks. Enjoy your tutorials!

[@KnottingKnots]

Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?

[@mikepeace537]

@@KnottingKnots more practical, enjoy the decorative but lack of time. I am fascinated by knots. Wish I could make more time to practice.

[@KnottingKnots]

I personally wish that I was working in a situation where I need to use knots for real.

[@lurchie]

This seem like it might be better than a marlinspike hitch for getting purchase on a line.

[@KnottingKnots]

I think the advantage of the Marlinspike Hitch, is the speed at which it can be tied. But yes, this too is a good one to know. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@micronicman]

Can you make this knot directly from a loop? It seems like you can make a loop with a bowline and then form the knot around the board. I'm not a knot expert, I don't know the correct terminology.

[@djohnson3678]

wow, amazing !! now i can do a temporary hold on planks while i can do other work to finish up ! awesome video !! 2000 thumbs up !!

[@braided_punk]

Very useful information! Thanks!

[@KnottingKnots]

Good to see you back again!! Just wondering, is it you that is sharing some of my videos to Russian groups and forums?

[@hectorlucia7438]

Como siempre gran trabajo el suyo, es un nudo muy útil seguro me sera de gran ayuda gracias por compartir

[@josephtreadlightly5686]

Perpendicular to the pole or plank...got it.

[@waynezimmerman4523]

Thank you , very clear!

[@mikewalrus4763]

Stanard British Merchant Navy knot or suspending a paint stage, far safer than the Royal Navy Cow hitch!

[@jameswilliamson8050]

Back in the days before health & safety spoilt everything, had many a good day hanging off one of these painting the ships side

[@kellygreen2592]

Whats the purpose of upgrading to a complex hitch version when it can slide iff and you have no tag end to guide it

[@rogerjrusa]

Very useful! Easy to tie, too. You're good at this, man. Liked/sub's. Cheers!

[@Fc73823]

Very nice knot! 😮

[@KnottingKnots]

Where have you been Fabio, not seen you here for a long time?

[@Fc73823]

Johnny Debt Nice you remember me!!😁 Yes, you're right. A lot of work.. But now I can follow better your videos. See you in the next video! 👍👍👍👍

[@KnottingKnots]

Its a date then!

[@tomthompson7400]

very much like an alpine butterfly , only tied round something ,, ish.

[@tuiflies5869]

tom thompson exactly what I was thinking. As soon as he brought the standing end to the center I figured it out. Brilliant idea though!

[@waykno8478]

Actually, it's one of the ways to tie a butterfly, albeit, the easier one in my opinion.

[@johnny30806]

My name is Johnny, and I approve this tutorial.

[@phill.walker]

British scaffolders do not use this knoght and never will we use a timber hitch for boards and a rolling hitch for tubes

[@88njtrigg88]

Agreed Sir, l work in the Drilling industry & are a qualified Scaffy this knot will Kill you.

[@phill.walker]

Yea bud am advanced scaffolder 30 years now

[@dankolar6066]

Thank you. Nicely done.

[@KnottingKnots]

Wow, not seen you here for a while Dan, what you been up to? Thanks for the good comment.

[@dankolar6066]

Johnny Debt I've been carefully tightening golfball-sized monkey fists and hitching many, many single-serving rum bottles. Both seem to be prized xmas gifts.

[@KnottingKnots]

Have I seen any of your work in the various groups?

[@dankolar6066]

Johnny Debt see kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZq4Y6GVd7h3iaM @ 8:00

[@KnottingKnots]

Excellent work there Dan!!! So what we are really saying now, is that knotting also helps you to live longer?? (No Smoking). Thanks for sharing that with me, really appreciate it!

[@skippyfrance]

So, Johnny has learned a new knot. I can't think of a single instance when it would be safe to use.

[@d.molina5644]

Is it a good option to make a ladder?

[@ScorpionRegent]

What would happen if you got interrupted tying the Alpine Butterfly and decided to stick a board through everything to hold your place?

[@KnottingKnots]

:-) or maybe when doing the Farmer's Loop 1054?

[@luckyshaikh9041]

Awesome sir

[@KnottingKnots]

Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?

[@MeyersCTR]

For a second there I was thinking that was a twist on the Alpine Butterfly Loop... ?

[@tuiflies5869]

Paul Meyers it is.

[@IndigoUltra]

Great stuff. If you wanted to increase the friction on the board does reefing it or doing multiples help or hurt or would you go with a different knot?

[@KnottingKnots]

I would have thought that maybe you could also put notches in the board for the rope to sit in?

[@NMranchhand]

Johnny Debt I would think that another line, parallel to the plank, drawing the verticals slightly inward, would prevent the two ends from being pulled off the ends of the plank and give a rider something horizontal to hold.

[@lanceroark6386]

Starts at 2:00.

[@zenaivague]

This is use in painting stage on the ship

[@godngunclinger]

..ssounds like MICHAEL CAINE to me

[@billmccaffrey1977]

I have never heard such a long ramble - what were you talking about again?

[@refaiabdeen5943]

Cheers Mate!

[@ingebrigtkvamen5331]

Please don't tie this off with a slipknot. The knot is supposed to hold a suspended load of substential weight puting people in danger both on it and under it. If you want to use a slipknott atleast secure it with either a stick or a carabiner.

[@dougsabug]

What I would like to see demonstrated is a sequence of scaffolding knots done in a way that makes a ladder. Is that possible?

[@erpjet8159]

you could make this video in one minute whyyyyyyy 7

[@evox786]

Yeah this guy is really long winded. I got annoyed and quit watching half way through.

[@Thomas..Anderson]

Downvoted for that very same reason.

[@joshyingling]

Scaffold knot because it would be used for lifting scaffold boards up scaffolding

[@gordbaker896]

Real info begins at 2:45. In North America, it is Rope, not Cordage and also Leading end and Trailing end. Good knot to know. Do a Diamond hitch sometime please.

[@NMranchhand]

[@tefaeman6753]

شكرا جزيلا

[@bryantreacher5793]

This might be a plank knot or hitch but owing to the fact that there is a nother knot called a scaffold knot I'm not liking the name

[@calartian85]

Well, I made it one minute and twenty three seconds.

[@KnottingKnots]

Congratulations! Do you think you hold the record?

[@JesseSchroeder-xo2iu]

😊

[@KnottingKnots]

Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@ogreunderbridge5204]

Ain't you a smarty pants, making a knot I actually didn't know... Now make a neat holeless ladder

[@Captain_Bartolo]

👌👌👌

[@infiniteloop7585]

Way too much narration

[@gennarinocravunchio1271]

Bla bla bla bla....to much.....

[@KnottingKnots]

I started a long time ago to "over explain" as I have one subscriber who is blind. He and his granddaughter follow the videos, he listens and she watches. He ties the knot and if he goes wrong his granddaughter corrects him. A lovely little bond must be growing between them?

[@gennarinocravunchio1271]

Tris is very good.....i didn't know.Sorry
