Thank you for this excellent and easy to follow guide. Years ago I made the two double boatswain whistles as you suggested here using black cordage and orange twine French whipped in between them and it made a handsome car key lanyard which I seek to replace with the help of your video and some new cordage.

@KnottingKnots Knotting is a treasure that most have forgotten about, they just don't have time in this hurried culture. Thank you for taking the time to teach us. One of the skills I'd also like to learn is suturing. There are nurses even today that don't know this important skill, and it uses; you guessed it...knots!

This is a demonstration that stands out from the majority of Lanyard/Diamond knots (ABOK #787 single, #ABOK #788) demonstrations as it shows a mirrored ie left handed version. I have read several people bemoaning the fact that there are not more left handed instructions. I perceive this as a stumbling stone for these tyers to get a knot. Although I can tie #787 in my sleep I had a moment of trouble with the initial loop. Good one!

I'm a photographer and at the end of the day I give my client their work on a usb stick. In order to make mine a little more personalised I tie a single lanyard knot to the usb as a little fob like thing. I've now been doing that for years and all that time I didn't know the knot could be doubled and even tripled. Thank you for this great video. Every day I learn something new is a good day.

Johnny Debt; you make it look so simple. I was in the Navy in the 60's, and was always fascinated at the ship's Boatwains's Mates when they were sitting around shooting the breeze and tying various knots. I was unable to grasp them then, and now, as a Grandfather learning to make Paracord bracelets with my Granddaughter I'm still having a difficult time although persistence is now paying off.!

I see that you were in the USN, I personally was R.N. in the 70s. I always was amazed just how much talent there was on board a ship. Not just knotting, but also other skills as well! Keep at it shippers, knots are only there to test our patience.

@c.f.beeble 3 ай бұрын

Yours is possibly the best video I've ever seen of this knot, and also the clearest explanation of the tying technique. Some decorative knots can be frustrating to learn, especially from static diagrams, but here you show that the symmetry of the finished knot arises from the symmetries in the tying process itself. Knot on, Dude! BTW - Can you tell me what cordage you used here, (diameter, material)? I'm growing SO tired of paracord! 🙂

@KnottingKnots 3 ай бұрын

Glad it was helpful! I wish I could tell you what the cordage was, as this is a very old video (9 years). I would say though, any good "hard lay" cordage will produce a fine knot. This also works well in Paracord. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

@TheAngryEagle 3 жыл бұрын

A marlinspike helps. Working from the loop side, get the tip under the line after it comes out from under under the first crossed line. Continue pushing and working the marlinspike in and you'll be able to pull a good bit of slack from the loop. Work that slack around through the not, leaving some behind as you go, and you'll get to a point where you can free up an end and move it back out through the not.

@duggiemoore9680 6 жыл бұрын

Speaking as a ''deck-ape'', the correct RN term for this instrument is a 'call' and it is used to 'pipe' orders etc. The Bosun's mates /quartermasters would wear it on a chain rather than the uniform lanyard, which, no doubt, stokers used, in tandem with several others and any other gash 'string to hand, as a washing line deep in the mysterious bowels of any given vessel of the Grey Funnel Line; the whole cunningly held together and strung across those dark fetid spaces with several of the many versions of the multi-faceted and legendary 'dhobey hitch' known only to those of The Ancient Order of The Bilge Rat.........
