I call the working end the "working end" rather than the running end. Two half hitches ABoK#54 is usually tied with tension on the standing end because that is the usual direction of load and will cause the inner half hitch to roll if tied the way that you demonstrated. The sheet-bend is my second favourite knot, but I always mention that there is a double sheet-bend exists because the coefficient of friction with modern plastic ropes is so low that the extra turn is often required.
A bight can be made anywhere in the rope, but when talking about knots in the end of ropes a bend is the correct term when connecting two ropes because you are "bending them together". That's why the knot is called a sheet-bend and not a sheet-bight.
Bowline is not actually a hitch, it's a fixed eye but if you look closely you will see the sheet bend. Clever folks would use a half hitch in the tail when tied in kernmantle or marlow type braidlines dues to their inherent slipperiness...
Never heard “inside” bowline. It’s either a bowline, or a false bowline. The latter pulls through and fails under enough load or stress. Also, the terms or verbiage used is incorrect. We’d be happy to help! DM!
Great video with easy to see knotting. I saw a well drilling company wrap a chain around a length of rigid and pull it up with a winch. As it rose, they were able to clamp it in place and slide the chain down the length. What kind of knot is used for pulling a pipe?
That’s interesting. The weight of the chain itself would have played a big roll in it being able to slide off. The most common/simple relation I can think is maybe just multiple overhand knots placed incrementally along the pipe. Also, The actual ‘pipe hitch knot’ is most common for pulling pipe. This would be done with rope though. Hard to say how they would have done it with chain.
Actually, the double sheet bend is the bend used to bend two lines of different diameter, you also failed when you had both tails finish on the same side making a suicide bend. Second, your square knot is NOT a square knot it was a Reef knot (square knot finishes with tails perpendicular to the lead. Third hitch, this is getting well and truly tiresome: Yep, sure you tied it correctly, but you failed to explain that it needs a half hitch about the lead to lock the clove. The Clove hitch is only used to secure a load and never for releasing a load under tension, they also are well known to shake loose and give way under repeated vibrations and load/unload tension cycles. Lastly, your two half hitches should be used after taking a full turn about the item you are hitching to. This is known as a round turn and two half hitches, this hitch was designed and is used to release under tension whilst maintaining control of the load. The round turn was also understood and known as a "snubber" turn (the round turn about a spar creates friction, which is why the two half hitches were used with the round turn), we used to use these even around shackles which allowed us to lower 4-600 Kg loads on 14mm synthetic kernmantle line. But what would I know from 33 years of rigging in 10 Countries?
I can't speak for all knots. But i can tell you it doesn't matter with a bowline. Left side over or underhand. It's s the exact same knot. Just faced a different direction.
Not quite. The "inside" is the original "real" bowline. The outside is sometimes called a "winter bowline" because it was used on fishing boats in the north Atlantic where the ropes would freeze together - by having the tail on the outside it could blow in the wind and reduce the chance of it freezing to the loop. Also the ABoK page 16 starts the conversation about direction of tension being with the loop and against the loop. They end up with different maximum load strengths. (But if you reach those levels you're using the wrong rope.)
Not everywhere. The bowline is ancient and has had many names and pronunciations. There is no one definitive name or pronunciation. In French it's called "the chair knot".

Very good video, thank you sir
Very useful, demonstration repeated twice and slowly was an excellent illustration
Thanks for the video.
Appreciate the clear how to video but would have been better to explain when to use each knot (i.e. what's the best use case for each?)
This is beautiful I remember my first day in the training it was heavy to start it.
Thankyou so much sir i need this
Very nice. Thank you for an easy to follow reference. Stay safe my friend
Hi sir I must say you r master of different knots
Big help. Thank you!
two half hitch?? that`s can`t be a rigging knot!
I think you need more tail on the bowline.
Good 👍 👍
Awesome 👍😎 very informative video thanks man
that bowline is way overcomplicated. can be done with 1 whole less step
Yes, there are faster ways, but the slipknot method is easier for most people to remember.
@@recklessroges so there's a bowline method called the "Slipknot?" or there's a whole different knot called the slipknot that is more efficient?
Bight, not bend.

Very clear explanation
Bowline hitch was easiest process

Very clear; excellent demonstration and way to learn well; THANKS
you a og rigger, I respect that
Very simple well demonstrated. Thanks

Cowboy bowline or
Left-handed bowline.
Both left and right-handed work just as well. The tail is either in the loop or outside the loop.

Ok captain tying knots.
You'd be a lot cooler if you linked a video demonstrating these points
you mean Deez Knots?

@@recklessroges every time I've tied it, the running end has been on the inside
Great video! Thanks
Thank you
Thanks
Fantastic thanks.
Can i have the pass?
Excellent. A+
I thought that bowline was pronounced "bowlin", as if there was no "e" at the end.
pronounced (boh-linn)
