  • 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.

  • The Scrapboard Guide to Knots. Part One: a Bowline and Two Hitches
    http://www.angelfire.com/art/enchanter/scrapboardknots.pdf Version 2.2 The Scrapboard Guide to Knots. Apparently there are over 2,000 different knots recorded, which is obviously too many for most people to learn. What these pages will attempt to do is teach you seven major knots that should meet most of your needs. These knots are what I like to think of as “gateway knots” in that once you understand them you will also be familiar with a number of variations that will increase your options. Nine times out of ten you will find yourself using one of these knots or a variant. The best way to illustrate what I mean is to jump in and start learning some of these knots and their variations. Part One: A Bowline and Two Hitches. Round Turn and Two Half Hitches. A very simple and useful knot with a somewhat unwieldy name! The round turn with two half hitches can be used to attach a cord to post or another rope when the direction and frequency of strain is variable. The name describes exactly what it is. It can be tied when one end is under strain. If the running end passes under the turn when making the first half-hitch it becomes the Fisherman’s Bend (actually a hitch). The fisherman’s bend is used for applications such as attaching hawsers. It is a little stronger and more secure than the round turn and two half-hitches but harder to untie so do not use it unless the application really needs it.

  • EC700 the Use of Rope on the Farm
    THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE EXTENSION SERVICE December, 1922 Extension Circular 700 THE USE OF ROPE ON THE FARM By VIRGIL OVERHOLT The Ohio State University Agricultural College Extension Service At some time, almost every one has had occasion to regret his lack of knowledge about tying knots. THE USE OF ROPE ON THE FARl\1 By VIRGIL OVERHOLT Ohio State Utt1iversity VERY farmer finds many occasions for using rope. Therefore, E time spent in learning to tie a few of the simple knots, to make some common hitches, that are reliable under strain but are easy to untie, or to make a strong splice yet small enough to pass thru a common pulley, will never be r egretted. More time is frequently wasted in trying to untie a knot •than would be r equired to learn how to tie it properly. If the hay rope breaks at a critical moment, the ability to splice it may mean the saving of much time and several dollars. The correct knot will enable the grain binder to change from one ball to an­ other without entangling and breaking the twine. Such delays are not only a loss of valuable time, but a source of great annoyance. Animllls have been strangled to death, because they were improperly tied and even human lives often have been endanger ed by ropes insecurely fastened. This bulletin is published for the instruction of farmers and students desiring to learn a few of the practical uses to which rope is put on the farm. It is 11ot a complete hand book on rope.
