cool! Paul will love this.

He took a sailing class once and ever since then he's been in to tieing knots.

Thanks Jim.

What a fun site. Thanks Jim.

I'm still trying to figure out how to put two ends for a rope together on my 50' flag pole other than a basic knot and duct tape. I'm still looking for a method to hold them together but this site didn't have one at least that I found.

Great site though.

Under fishing - the uni knot. I do a double uni when tying leaders to fishing lines.

Nope won't do what I want but good try. I'm looking for a way to tie both ends of a single rope together into a knot that will be strong enough to hold up with high winds on a 12' x 8' flag. I was thinking a shrink rap might do it but the guy at Lowe's says it won't hold.

How about overlapping the lines and duct taping the crap out of them?

Joe, heres a place that shows how to splice braided and three strand twisted rope

[joec]

Thanks Jim I will try that method next time I change ropes.

That is what I'm doing now Buzz.

 

[Keltin]

Could you overlap the two ends and use a hose clamp or 2?

Thanks Jim.

i was thinking it would be useful for Vera

Ideally the splice should be tight enough to run through the sheaves without binding so you don't want anything protruding from the original diameter of the rope.

[joec]

I don't think it would pull through a pulley with hose clamps.

No, probably knot.

Can you sew? Perhaps sewing the ends together with thin fishing line might work?

 

[joec]

Nope not a good sewing, but then there is little I can't learn.

 

[Lefty]

Is there a hostage section?

 

[Keltin]

They show a good end-to-end splice in this PDF.

[joec]

What I need is a way to spice to ends together into a single piece guys, not tie them off.

Look at page 3 of that PDF under "Short Splice". They have a cool way of joining two ends into one solid piece of rope.

 

[joec]

I didn't see that on my quick skim thanks Keltin that is exactly what I was looking for.

 

[AllenOK]

I will admit that I do know how to tie a Hangsman's Noose.


















No, I am not going to teach that one.
