    A Very Short Guide to Knotting Terminology Used on These Pages

    KNOTS A very short guide to knotting terminology used on these pages. This is not an exhaustive list of knotting terms; it just contains some of the more unfamiliar words that we have used. If you wish to research the subject further, any good book on knots should have a knotting glossary. • Knot. Strictly speaking, a knot is tied in the end of a line as a stopper, such as the Thumb knot or Figure of eight knot. • Stopper knots are used to stop the end of a rope fraying, or to stop it running through a small hole or constriction. • Bend. A bend is used to tie two ropes together, as in the Sheet bend. Technically, even the Reef knot is a bend. • Hitch. A hitch is used to tie a rope to a spar, ring or post, such as the Clove hitch. Hitches can also be used to tie one rope onto another rope, as in the Rolling hitch. • Running End - the end of the rope that is being used to tie the knot. • Standing End - the static end of the rope. • Splice – A splice is used to fasten two ends of a rope together when a knot would be impracticable, as, for instance, when the rope must pass through a pulley. • Bight can have two meanings: -- The main part of the rope from the running end to the standing end -- Where the rope is bent back to form a loop. • Jam - when the knot tightens under tension and you cannot get it undone! Blackwall Hitch This is a simple half hitch over a hook.
  • Hollow Braid Eye Splice

    Hollow Braid Eye Splice

    The Back Splice A properly sized hollow braid splicing fid will make this splice easier. Hollow braid splices must have the opposing core tucked in at least eight inches when finished. Use discretionary thinking when determining whether or not to apply a whipping to the back splice on hollow braid ropes. 5/16” ¼” 3/16” 3/8” Whipping Twine Hollow Braid Appropriate Sized Knife Splicing Fids STEP ONE: The first step with FIG. 1 most hollow braid splices involve inserting the end of the rope into the hollow end of an appropriately sized splicing fid (Figures 1 & 2). Fids are sized according to the diameter of the rope. A 3/8” diameter rope will be used in this demonstration, therefore a 3/8” fid is the appropriate size. FIG. 2 The fid can prove useful when estimating the length the opposing core is tucked. A minimum tuck of eight inches is required. FIG. 2A STEP TWO: After inserting the end of the rope into a splicing fid (figure 2A) – Loosen the braid in the rope FIG. 3 approximately 10” to 12” from the end to be spliced (figure 3). Approximately 10” to 12” From the end of the rope. Push the pointed end of the fid into one of the openings of the braid, allowing the fid to travel down the hollow center of the braided rope (figures 4 & 5). FIG. 4 FIG. 5 FIG.6 STEP THREE: Allow the fid to travel down the hollow center of the braided rope 8” or more. Compressing the rope on the fid will allow a distance safely in excess of 8” (figure 6).

  • Two Color Spiral Sennit Tutorial

    Two Color Spiral Sennit Tutorial

    Four Strand Helical Sennit Grips Rails Applied Friction In Cordage Art Cord. Mankind's earliest technology, after teeth and fingernails. Cord normally requires a knot, some clever kink, to hold it to its task. Typically, knots must be untied to remove the rope. As you know, I always start with "For What Do I Need A Knot?" and then tie a knot to meet that need. Here's a way to make a cordage structure which will grip many objects strongly enough to hold small things like key rings or other personal items, yet still be easily removed & replaced. Suppose you just want to carry spare cord, and have lots of bare tubing on your Expedition Backpack? This puts significant amounts of cordage into compact packages which hold themselves in place until you need them, when you just "grab and pull" to remove for untying. It's made to come off easily, so don't use it on a handle! You can cover those parts with Hitches in the usual way. Suppose you ride a bicycle & want to keep your pants leg out of the chain, or keep small personal items easily accessible. Pepper spray, perhaps, or a snack container, or whatever you like, but you want it secure-yet-easy-to-remove? You could tie a knot, untie it, and retie it every single time you need it. Yeah, right. Suppose you're getting along in years & need to use a walker, or a cart for your Oxygen, or something similar, and you need to keep your door/car keys handy, but you may not have pockets “at hand”.

  • Directions for Knots: Reef, Bowline, and the Figure Eight

    Directions for Knots: Reef, Bowline, and the Figure Eight

    Directions for Knots: Reef, Bowline, and the Figure Eight Materials Two ropes, each with a blue end and a red end (try masking tape around the ends and coloring them with markers, or using red and blue electrical tape around the ends.) Reef Knot (square knot) 1. Hold the red end of the rope in your left hand and the blue end in your right. 2. Cross the red end over the blue end to create a loop. 3. Pass the red end under the blue end and up through the loop. 4. Pull, but not too tight (leave a small loop at the base of your knot). 5. Hold the red end in your right hand and the blue end in your left. 6. Cross the red end over and under the blue end and up through the loop (here, you are repeating steps 2 and 3) 7. Pull Tight! Bowline The bowline knot (pronounced “bow-lin”) is a loop knot, which means that it is tied around an object or tied when a temporary loop is needed. On USS Constitution, sailors used bowlines to haul heavy loads onto the ship. 1. Hold the blue end of the rope in your left hand and the red end in your right. 2. Cross the red end over the blue end to make a loop. 3. Tuck the red end up and through the loop (pull, but not too tight!). 4. Keep the blue end of the rope in your left hand and the red in your right. 5. Pass the red end behind and around the blue end.

    Knot Masters Troop 90 1. Every Scout and Scouter joining Knot Masters will be given a test by a Knot Master and will be assigned the appropriate starting rank and rope. Ropes shall be worn on the left side of scout belt secured with an appropriate Knot Master knot. 2. When a Scout or Scouter proves he is ready for advancement by tying all the knots of the next rank as witnessed by a Scout or Scouter of that rank or higher, he shall trade in his old rope for a rope of the color of the next rank. KNOTTER (White Rope) 1. Overhand Knot Perhaps the most basic knot, useful as an end knot, the beginning of many knots, multiple knots make grips along a lifeline. It can be difficult to untie when wet. 2. Loop Knot The loop knot is simply the overhand knot tied on a bight. It has many uses, including isolation of an unreliable portion of rope. 3. Square Knot The square or reef knot is the most common knot for joining two ropes. It is easily tied and untied, and is secure and reliable except when joining ropes of different sizes. 4. Two Half Hitches Two half hitches are often used to join a rope end to a post, spar or ring. 5. Clove Hitch The clove hitch is a simple, convenient and secure method of fastening ropes to an object. 6. Taut-Line Hitch Used by Scouts for adjustable tent guy lines, the taut line hitch can be employed to attach a second rope, reinforcing a failing one 7.
  • Chinese Knotting

    Chinese Knotting

    Chinese Knotting Standards/Benchmarks: Compare and contrast visual forms of expression found throughout different regions and cultures of the world. Discuss the role and function of art objects (e.g., furniture, tableware, jewelry and pottery) within cultures. Analyze and demonstrate the stylistic characteristics of culturally representative artworks. Connect a variety of contemporary art forms, media and styles to their cultural, historical and social origins. Describe ways in which language, stories, folktales, music and artistic creations serve as expressions of culture and influence the behavior of people living in a particular culture. Rationale: I teach a small group self-contained Emotionally Disturbed class. This class has 9- 12 grade students. This lesson could easily be used with a larger group or with lower grade levels. I would teach this lesson to expose my students to a part of Chinese culture. I want my students to learn about art forms they may have never learned about before. Also, I want them to have an appreciation for the work that goes into making objects and to realize that art can become something functional and sellable. Teacher Materials Needed: Pictures and/or examples of objects that contain Chinese knots. Copies of Origin and History of knotting for each student. Instructions for each student on how to do each knot. Cord ( ½ centimeter thick, not too rigid or pliable, cotton or hemp) in varying colors. Beads, pendants and other trinkets to decorate knots. Tweezers to help pull cord through cramped knots. Cardboard or corkboard piece for each student to help lay out knot patterns. Scissors Push pins to anchor cord onto the cardboard/corkboard.

    Learn to Braid a Friendship Bracelet

    Learn to Braid a Friendship Bracelet Rapunzel braided her long hair, and you can use the same technique to make a beautiful bracelet for you or a friend. Adult supervision recommended for children under 8. You will need: Embroidery floss, yarn, or other lightweight string or cord Scissors Measuring tape Masking tape (optional) 1. To begin, measure around your wrist. To find out how long to cut each piece of string, double your wrist measurement For example, if your wrist is 6 inches around, add 6 inches to get 12 inches total. 2. Cut 3 pieces of your string using the total measurement you calculated (12 inches each in this example). They can all be the same color, or you can play with different color combinations. 3. Tie all 3 pieces together in a knot about 1.5-2 inches from one end. To hold the end in place, you can use masking tape to hold the knot down to a table. If you don’t have any masking tape handy, ask a family member to hold the knot so you can work on braiding. 4. To start braiding, spread the 3 strands out so they’re not crossed or tangled. (The photos here start in the middle of the braid, but the process is the same). Lift the strand on the far right (blue in the first photo) and cross it over the middle strand (red). Then lift the left strand (black) and cross it over the middle strand (now blue). 5. Repeat this sequence, continuing on by lifting the right strand (now red) to cross over the middle strand (now black).

The process has been used in medical device manufacturing for over 30 years with major advancements following the push for miniaturization for minimally invasive procedures. For catheter delivery systems, this process has been too slow and costly to incorporate. However, Resonetics has combined advances in laser and motion control to develop a cost- effective tool for high-volume manufacturing of catheter components. This high-speed laser cutting process is branded as PRIME Laser Cut and this paper details: PRIME Laser Cut benefits How to specify laser cut tube Cost savings considerations 0 2 Prime performance benefits L E S S I N V A S I V E P R O C E D U R E S C O N T I N U E T O A D V A N C E , R E Q U I R I N G B E T T E R T O O L S T O E N A B L E A C C E S S .
