How to Tie the Lobster Buoy Hitch - Underrated and Very secure Hitch

- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- The Lobster-Buoy Hitch is very secure knot, but very underrated! According to Art of Knotting and Splicing, by Day; United States Naval Institute; it is a very secure hitch, "would be useful, if it were better known, on a variety of occasions." Ashley's Book of Knots 1714 "The Lobster Buoy Hitch was shown to me years ago by John B. Cornell, of Cuttyhunk, who used it for about every purpose and claimed it was particularly good to tie to timber. As the chief industry of Cuttyhunk was wrecking, I value his opinion highly on such a point. The knot is tied tightly around the standing part and then is slipped along the rope snugly into place."
Maybe we could start a revolution and spread the word about the qualities of the Lobster-Buoy Hitch?

I have quite a nice collection of your vids for emergencies ... So thank you.
Good to meet you on here and keep up collecting and practising knots. I have my own favourites, but still look out for new knots, that could replace an existing one.
I'm amazed how you keep coming up with more knots. Maybe you could branch of into escaping custody and lockdowns. Cheers from Prison Australia Matey
Among the knots I learned from you this is one of my favorites. So simple, yet so eficiente that it is extremely easy to tie, to memorize and to put into action.
I use this now on camp tarps through the grommet and taut line hitch on the other side it worked pretty well for me
Just wondering if you have ever used an simpler knots through the grommet, and what results you had?
@@KnottingKnots I mean this is a pretty simple knot already. What would a simpler alternative be? Perhaps just two half hitches but I don't think it would be as secure as this and it's not really any simpler.
Yours is the best demonstration of this knot. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! I guess you are more of a practical knotter?
After a few ties of this knot I couldn't help but notice it seems to be a cousin-of-sorts to the Taut Line hitch. Nice vid and nice knot, it'll get some use from me, thanks Mr Debt.
It's a pleasure Mark, tis a good knot to know. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Ashley book of knots #1126 Tag knot, ties a cow hitch on a looped rope. Can't for the life of me figure out the drawn path :)
Do you know it?
With that knot, what I do is as follows; make the shape as shown in figure 1126(a), then I put my hand in through the loop fromed where the arrow is, reach up and pull both leads through the loop (this follows what the arrow is showing), you only need enough pulled through to create another loop. I have found that you then need to just rearrange the line above so that there are no crossing points. Well that was as clear as mud???
Forgot to say, the initial loop you have is not the final loop. When you pull the two lines through to create the second loop, that is the final loop. the first loop at the beginning forms part of the knot.
@@KnottingKnots 👍🏻 I just needed to realise the arrow "hooks" the part to pull through
1st loop made using the cow hitch fold over technique.
undoing it is just as mind boggling!
- learning knots as well as patience....
@@ForTheTeoma good to hear you a learning knots, wait till you start decorative knotting, you will need lots of patience and have really sore fingers 😉 😉 😉
Good hitch knot , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Cheers Michael.
Hello 22/5 08:19
Your practice hitching post has me interested. It looks easy enough to make. Just curious about some dimensions.. 4 tee, 6 caps, 3/4" (19 mm ) copper pipe ? 25 or 30 cm wide ? 15 cm tall x 2 sides. Am I close? Learning a lot of new knots by watching you past videos. You do a great job instructing.. Thank you.
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. You can find out more about my Knotting Jig here: igkt-solent.co.uk/jig-for-tying-knots/
You showed a 3 inch Turks head knot on some tubing a long time ago but never showed how to finish it off. Now I'm left with dangling ends.
If your TH is covering an object, then gently go round and take out all the slack. Once it is really tight, cut and tuck the ends under. If however your TH is going to remain open, seize the loose strands to the previous turns. Seizing: ruclips.net/video/wkcVKJO8SB8/видео.html
Looking good!
The girl is back, does that mean what I think...................
I'll give this a try when we head out to sea again.
Last time I did the tugboat hitch just as a demo in our engine room. Sadly someone cut it instead of pulling the slip hitch I put on it.
Damn Stokers, who allowed one to use a knife?? 😉 😉 😉
That is an absolutely unknown knot to me, but maybe a worthy alternative to some other knots I know by head. Definitely going to try it out!
Yes, I rather like this one too. 😉 😉 😉
Can you use it on the Lobster Pot end too or would the Lobsters possibly work out how to undo it?
He will only get it undone if there is no tension on the line 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
It looks good to use as another choice of knot to tie fender to the stanchions.
Yes, why not, I always say that you are the master of your own knots. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Nice hitch & tying stand. Short and sweet, bravo
Yep, I rather like this one also 😉 😉 😉
Thanks Johnny!
Like this one. Thx a bunch.
You're welcome!
Hi Johnny; I’m a new decorative knot guy ; just wondering where do you get your hard laid cordage from; I’ve just started to watch your videos ,they are great I like your style of tutorship,I can follow along and it doesn’t take long to get the result, thanks a lot and keep up the good work
Cheers for the compliment TB, what country are you in, so I can see who your nearest supplier is?
@@KnottingKnots hi Johnny , I’m in the south of England 👍
@@tallboy3558 OK, that should not be too difficult, as a lady called Sue makes her own cordage and does supply. Are you by any chance of FaceBook?
@@KnottingKnots no I’m not ,I do go on Instagram , would she have a website ?
@@tallboy3558 This is Sue's Instagram account: instagram.com/rigging_and_ropework/ If you contact her, just mention that I referred you, then she will know where it came from.
