    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.

    @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.

    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.

    @kristianbrandt3012 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    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.

    • @edmaymortem525
      @edmaymortem525 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.
