Sorry for the delay in replying. I think for this one, each 'strand' of the bell rope was about 1.5 meters, so the whole length of rope would have been approx 12 meters (it gets divided into four for the square sinnet, then halved again to form the loop and end up with eight strands). If I was doing it again, I'd probably use a bit more as it got a bit close to running out towards the end!
Apologies. It's really only meant to be a demo of the whole rather than a tutorial for each knot. Mostly I think people who are learning these knots will get an idea of how the whole thing comes together and how I personally go about tying each one. My suggestion is that you check out the Ashley numbers for each knot in the description of the video and and google for tutorials for each individual knot, or even get a copy of Ashley's Book of Knots (which is awesome). You can slow TH-cam videos down with the standard video controls, but I'm not if this will help - I tend to learn the topgraphy of knots from diagrams rather than videos.
Thanks onslow keeping. Sorry about the speed. The beginning of each section should be in real / slow time, then as I repeat I speed it up to reduce to length of the video. Lengthwise, I think for this one, each 'strand' of the bell rope was about 1.5 meters, so the whole length of rope would have been approx 12 meters (it gets divided into four for the square sinnet, then halved again to form the loop and end up with eight strands). If I was doing it again, I'd probably use a bit more as it got a bit close to running out towards the end! If you're using thicker rope, you need to adjust upwards (In this I think I'm using 4mm diameter)
@@scoutcrafts963 a very nice job indeed, bravo! are you sure that the diameter of each "strand" is 4mm only? it seems bigger... (it looks like at least 5, in not 6...) 👍
I think it was about an inch diameter. I just picked it up at a local craft shop because it looked about right - it's a small polystyrene ball. However, I often just bundle up a bit of an old plastic bag or bin liner to do the same thing. The reason this works so well is that as you tighten the kot, you can use tweezers or pliers to pull bits of the bag out of the knot if you've used too much, then use a pokey thing to push it back in. Bespoke sizing in action :)
Hi Ed. There should be a loop (becket) on the bottom of the bell clapper. In most pictures you see shackles used to connect the bellrope loop to the clanger - or you could use an S-clip. Alternatively, Ashley's Book of Knots has an early diagram showing a smaller piece of cord attached to the bellrope loop with a loop splice (3757) and the other end free to attach to the clanger loop - presumably with any appropriate ring hitch (a becket hitch, for example). If you're after a a tidy 'ropey' look, you could create a decorative grommet connecting the two, though this could be quite fiddly depending on the size of the loop. I think a nice shiny shackle looks the best though! (ignore the the pic at the end of the video - it shows a fraying bit of old paracord I used because I was in a hurry to try the rope out!)
Please redo the double Diamond knot. Its too fast, too much lag, and too many hands in the way to see what is going on! Ive been trying to get it right for 2 hours. Just this one knot

Gary, please accept my unreserved and heartfelt apologies for wasting 1/48th of your day. This video has clearly upset you, though I can offer nothing but regret, love, and positivity in response. I filmed the video on my kitchen table, hoping that a few people might gain some insight into a craft that I enjoy and am passionate about. I also titled it ‘Traditional bell rope tying’ in the hope that this would adequately describe the content. If this video is not the 'how' that you are searching for, I humbly suggest you explore some supplementary and hopefully complementary materials - there are plenty available elsewhere on the internet. You'll notice that in the information text I have provided the names and Ashley references for all the knots and sinnets I've used. I do find that the Ashley diagrams and descriptions, plus a more visual example of tying them - such as a video of someone tying them - make a potent and informative pairing. In addition, I’m passionate about teaching others these kinds of crafts - something I do in my role as Scout Leader in the UK. I think you’ll see that I have made an effort to respond with full and constructive responses to polite questions about other subjects in this channel. If there was an aspect of this that you didn’t understand or that frustrated your own efforts to emulate it, one option might have been to ask one or two follow-up questions. Anyway, once more, many apologies for wasting your time. I have arranged a refund for you.
@@scoutcrafts963 great video really enjoyed it never seen a Matthew walker knot tied like that ,going to get my ashley book of knots out now and have a go ,have you got any more videos coming out , thanks very much
Lovely work.
Thank you Peter :)
Well done 👍🏻, never seen that Spritsail Sheet Knot before.
Greetings from Germany 🤙🏻
nice work, thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Almost impossible to follow , too fast and blurry
How long must the rope be for this project?

Great work Scott ,but a little slower would be much easier to follow. Thanks and how long is your rope?

In settings on the screen, you can slow the playback speed down to 25%

What diameter ball did you use for the last knot?

This is fine if you want to watch someone tie a bell rope. If you want to LEARN HOW to tie a bell rope, this is a waste of 1/48th of your day.
