I learned the Japanese Square lashing a bit different. All is the same until you make the cross. While one line finishes the cross, the other line continues around the stick so you have the same number of lines around each arm right and left. This will also give you the same number on the back from side to side, though not the same number on front as on back. Then you start around for the fraps. You ALWAYS tie off on a frap corner rather than on the face of a stick; it will make it tighter.
Great content. I would maybe suggest another finishing knot, besides the square. Just a suggestion as you seem very knowledgeable and competent. Tying the square knot seems to create an opportunity to lose tension. We use additional wraps (more friction) and hitches to finish our lashings on the outrigger canoes I paddle.
@DemonHide It's not advisable, as the square knot ends the second frapping turn and helps secure the lashing. If you were to do the hitches first the square knot would not help to tighten those frapping turns. ~ Bryan
T0 hold a desired angle between poles, symmetry of wraps on each side and cross overs on both poles are essential, but incomplete in this square lashing demonstration. Using the Square knot allows slack. The final tie uses a self tightening knot. Multiple wraps add to a tight connection. When tie line expands, when wet or for other reasons, the multiple wraps are also the cause for loosening. the final detail to avoid loosening is to glue wraps together with pitch, glue or paint. Different lines will require different adhesives.
If you can't pull off a square knot I like to use an adjustable knot like for a necklace or something just to lock the tension, then I'll make a stable one with my free space I made
What is the best lashing material for (indoor) bamboo construction? I read of a waxed nylon available on A, but when going there it’s not available/out of stock. That one appeared to be a flat, tape like cord, not round like paracord
I have a lot of bamboo that the previous owner planted. It is very invasive so I plan to have it taken out. I would like to use the bamboo to create a privacy fence. Do you have a vid that shows me how to do this?
I looked at this because I fancy making kites. I will try this but what I thought of is two constrictor knots, or maybe four. The lashing looks excellent. Thanks for posting.
There is no better or worse rope for lashing. For this particular smooth(read slippery) wood the rope you're using is best and it also works with bamboo. If however you're in northern Europe, where no bamboo grows, where we use rough untreated pine, hairy manilla rope is far better as its rough surface cuts into the wood, whereas the knotty and barky sufface of pine might actually damage a smoother rope. The only flaw manilla rope has is that it'll shrink when wet. This is great if your lashings get looser over time, which they will, as when they do you can pour a bucket of water on them when your scout master isn't looking.... But if you want to untie them on a rainy day, your fingers will be hurting after three lashings.
Coming from experience any synthetic rope or plastic rope will slip no matter how tight it is because of it having no bite, an actual rope has bite, therefore, being better.
I would like to know a way of joining bamboo for a bicycle frame without carbon fibre, expensive or dangerous epoxy or chemicals (although I concede that some glue might be necessary) Do you - or any viewers - have any ideas?
Seems the most important step to holding it all together was the square knot which wasn’t shown. Glad he’s not in a classroom teaching anything important.
Great knot for making trellis's or plant cages with bamboo. You explained and showed 'how to' really well and clearly. Thank you!
Just did that today with this video hahaha
Extraordinarily solid square lashing, thank you for sharing this knowledge in such a clear and concise format!

This is my first time enjoying your TH-cam channel. Great work! I’m looking forward to more great content from you.

How much rope do you use?
@bigT5g It was a collaborative effort but we did do it ourselves.

you have taught me a lot under 4mins...you know a lot❤❤❤
My 6-year-old daughter says: "You have very good explanation."

Belt and braces!
Thanks man. Helped me tie a rusty post.
@@davegillett7135 Is there a video on TH-cam about belts and braces? I'm looking for ways to secure logs. Thanks!
@@shredders3881 I don't know
BEST KNOT EVER for making your own bamboo trellis
Thanks, good demo. I would suggest more emphasis on making every step very TIGHT, a very important part of a good secure lashing.
Straight forward and clear. Love it. Learned how!
Thank you so much
Now im on my way looking to how to square knot 😅
Great video thank you from a USN BT, Ido have a question do, what is the best natural fiber to tie bamboo outdoors
Aloha! What size cordage do you recommend? Is waxed cord okay to use since it is waterproof? Building an outdoor, mobile bamboo structure! Mahalo!
Very nice I'm definitely gonna try this one out tomorrow when I wake up I got abunch of different sized rope and sticks
Is there a rule of thumb for how long the cord should be?
If you can't pull off a square knot I like to use an adjustable knot like for a necklace or something just to lock the tension, then I'll make a stable one with my free space I made
Excellent demonstration of the method 🙏👌❤
Dude you are a life saver. I always get confused Japanese square mark 1 and mark 2
Thank you this helped a lot with my trellises
thank you. this helped build my blanket fort

great scott very clever
Sweet. Wonder if I can do this with 30 lb fishing line.
qll
Thanks man. I used a sheet bend knot after the square knot to secure it.
Nice work, but the Japanese don't even up the wraps on each side?
Is this safe for a large thing to climb human in bamboo.please can you tell me
I looked at this because I fancy making kites. I will try this but what I thought of is two constrictor knots, or maybe four.
The lashing looks excellent. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for this! I'm making a decorative ladder for my kitchen lol
Super!
I wish yu secured the bamboo between ur knees so there was less tussling around .
But still I learned from you on this vid!
Great job sir!
make a vedio tell me garden door easy method simple rough wood usage
@aznpos531 Thanks for the kind words!

Is this a superior lashing for something like bamboo?
Clear and direct, thank you. I am making crosses for Holy Week from tree branches. I am a 67-year-old- Catholic wife and mom. God bless you.
Ok boomer
@@KABEYT lmao I love you (no homo tho)
@ckobash Thanks!
Thanks it solved my problem. God bless you.🌟
Thanks for sharing Bryan.
Just wanted to know the length of the chord that you used?
Good knot to know! Awesome vid as always!
Is there a book or database collecting all those techniques?
nice... thanks for tutorial
all the yuoutube videos about this lash show how to bind 2 poles together. but none of the shows how you actually make a frame.
is this good for Calisthenics?
Super cool! Thanks for the video!
Wonderful tutorial and so easy!! Thanks
I would like to know a way of joining bamboo for a bicycle frame without carbon fibre, expensive or dangerous epoxy or chemicals (although I concede that some glue might be necessary) Do you - or any viewers - have any ideas?
Epoxy is neither dangerous nor expensive. Geez...
beautifully done lad...
good job thank you
Very great!
A little different, I like it
very very good.
thank you i love your channel
Good thing I subscribed. Talk about useful techniques!
Thank youuuuuuuu
Very Nice!!!
Thx 👍
hello a question, you can do with any rope or cord in specific?
thank you for that
Thanks
Thanks, very helpful.

I was waiting for you to start lashing Japanese squares?
How we can built a cube with bamboo,by using this knot techinque
Thankyou for this knowledge I'm building raspberry trellis with bamboo scraps.
Thanks a lot
i meant to say Great Scott what a Knot
Great vid ez to follow
Love it, straightforward and clear. Thank you
Thanks bro
Great info... What does your bracelet say? I caught a few words, thought it was interesting.. Lee or Navy..... 02 AUG 06...... KIA....
thx
used this knot to strengthen my halloween plastic sword
works fine
That moment you have to search for what the hell a square knot is 🤣( english as 2nd language in my defence)
Thanks for this. Even with my ten thumbs, this was easy to follow!
thanks great help I'll mention you in my video I'm making.
Seems the most important step to holding it all together was the square knot which wasn’t shown. Glad he’s not in a classroom teaching anything important.

A suggestion for those of us who have difficulty following along: paint the two pieces of wood different colors. Thanks.
Thanks. this looks great. My chord is blue but I don't care. I am not getting up and driving to Lowe's just for aesthetics.
Thanks! i make a Xylophone wicth this Knot!
U didn’t get the MOST important part of the video, on video
This looks like it would be good to make a ladder.
Its hard to understand
It is not ... I had to do that knot 20 times and after 3 times I mastered it ^^
That shit was dope !!!!!!
You could tie a slip knot. Easier to un tie
🧐🧐🧐😮😯😲😳
You are turning so many times those sticks while doing this knot that I can't understand what's happening. Not so nice for me.
Very confusing. A six year old gets it and I don't? Nice!
Preforms better but looks like a lot more time to do
check this one out:

Your final knot is unclear, since the sticks get in the way.
