The "underhand loop" part is important. I thought "oh, just a clove hitch," but trying it with two stacked overhand loops made the knot much harder to undo. Thanks for teaching this one!
Thanks for the response! I made a plywood carrying sling with the over hand loops but needed to use the rope and had a tough time getting the knots out. This is exactly what I asked for. Good job. Especially how clearly you illustrate the knots.
Thanks for your video. When I'm at Lowe's or Home Depot I use one of the big carts. I need the lifehack for when I get it home. I understand why you used the smaller sheet to get the video in frame, but it would be nice to see it used with a full-sized sheet at the end. I learn a lot by watching your videos. Thanks for the lessons.
i dig the orange and black haloween motif on Oct 31st. kudos and thanks .... i had to move a bunch of MDF out the back of the truck across a field. my knuckles thank you.
These videos are practical, that's why I'm interested in knots. We need a barrel /carrier knot for a rain barrel or at the smallest a five gallon bucket idea that could be extrapolated to something bigger (canoe barrel). Thx again !
I work with custom cabinetry. The wood arrives on a pallet (sometimes multiple jobs) and I have to unload the pallet and reload the job into coffins (repurposed pallet that we added 3 walls to). A lot of the 4x8 pieces get stored vertically so more can be loaded into the coffin without damage. I've added eyebolts to the corners of the coffins for anchors. What would be the best way to tie multiple pieces of 1/4" coated wood standing vertically (4'h x 8'w) that can be secured to the anchor points? I need to secure it tight enough that it won't tip over during transport (about 100lbs of wood), but the wood can't be damaged. I've cut some 4' cardboard to wrap around the wood and act as end pieces to prevent damage. I've tried securing it to the side, but it makes the coffin very lopsided and the weight can break the coffin if it tips during transport. My original thought was to try and secure them in the middle of the coffin, but I realized I need help. So I turned to RUclips and here I am. I'm open to ideas. Thanks in advance. P.S.-Oh and I'm doing this by myself. Been using automatic trucker's hitch to keep them tight enough to prevent them from toppling over on me as I try and tie it down. Today would be a good day to have 4 arms.
Having carried lots of plywood by myself I can tell you it is hard to set this up by yourself and also you have to be fairly tall to tuck the plywood into your armpit and get the right length so you don’t have to carry the weight by flexing your arm. You can get a metal carrier that is just a c channel with a handle but carrying a sheet by yourself in one hand and maneuvering it around, especially with wind blowing is not fun. Best way is to put a couple of wheels on it or even a skateboard with a ratchet strap to hold it on.
It's a good loop to use for a Trucker's Hitch too. Ashley also has it in his book as a Bellringer's knot; in case you ever need to keep your rope of the belfry deck.
It's a sheepshank...no? All knots are some variation of a "parent knot" like sauces in cooking i.e. the "5 Mother Sauces" And higher mathematics based off of some lesser math. Brilliant stuff.
Just tie a simple square knot? They slide until tension is even...... and they are easy to get undone, or you can do a locking square knot with a quick pull? Same idea as a shoe lace.....
Seems that an angler's loop / perfection knot on a slip should work as well. Or for that matter, measure out the same way, but instead of a clove hitch, poke a bite through a lark's head. Do you prefer the clove hitch for this application? Also, may I know the name of that book? And thank you so much, after watching your videos and practicing for a few minutes at night before going to bed, knots finally make sense to me. And I don't forget how to make them, even if I haven't drilled or used one for a few months. You're a great teacher 🌀
Hey man, It's nice to see that you read and respond to comments so I'm hoping you will see this. I was wondering if you or others know of a knot that can grip onto pipe from an end and be used to drag it or shuffle it. As at my work we handle alot of 6-20m pipe that can get heavy and hard to handle. It needs to be easily undone without access to the pipes ends and doesn't bind under weight. If you know anything let me know or make it a video topic. Either way looking forward to some more content.
Vipper, thanks for the comment. How large a diameter is the pipe? What is the pipe made of? How many do you drag at a time? One last thing, do you pronounce your user name like a snake, viper, or like it rhymes with clipper?
@@First_Class_Amateur Hey, so the pipe ranges from 160mm (~6 1/3 inches) to 40mm (~1 1/2 inches) and everything between that needs to be moved quickly by hand onto the forks of a forklift as they can be inaccessible. They come in 6m, 12m lengths and have a real thick wall about finger width. The pipe is made from PE100 plastic and can become quite hard to handle when wet or during the middle of the day. If you can find an arrangement that works on 1, 3 and 4 pipes it'd be appreciated. As the smaller 40mm bundle could be treated as a single large 160mm hopefully. To pronounce my name think of nip, then extend to nippers drop the s and replace the n to get Vipper. Google translate English to English also has the correct pronunciation if that's easier. Thanks again man.
Try a Killick hitch. It's a timber hitch plus a half-hitch (or more than one) further down the log (or pipe in this case). en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killick_hitch
¡Muy bueno! ¿Qué nudos podríamos hacer si necesitamos elevar ese tablero hasta un tejado? Para que vaya recto y no gire. Tengo que subir varias placas de panel sándwich. Gracias por compartir
@@michaeldean5787 you get paid by the hour to have a 'journey'? Just put the sheet under your armpit, carry it and get to work. The rope is a good solution at home and you want your wife to help out.... for production the rope wastes time and if you can't carry a sheet of plywood maybe you are in the wrong line of work.
lmao please dont do this 0:06. you will get laughed at.. just carry the thing normally. why would you need to do this? are you carrying it 100 miles? is it still 1970? edit: wait...this ENTIRE video is about carrying plywood with rope? this guy is TEXBOOK overengineering thigs. you ever seen those infomercials that try to make simple things seem impossible? thats this guy...
Or.... Or.... Or maybe you could take off your dress and learn how to carry plywood like a man!!! You basically let the board pick itself up by lifting 1 end and move to the middle on the bottom until you get to the balance point! With your rope method you would be under more stress since your arm won't be in a natural position and have to support the board instead of using your legs, arms, core and back...
I don't care how manly you think you are buddy, if the sheet is wider than your arm is long you can't tuck it under your arm without a rope like this. Geometry is stronger than manliness. And yes, you could lift it in front of you, but then you're blind on one side, which makes you both vulnerable and a hazard to others around you. Politeness to others is the peak of manliness. You could lift it from the top, but I reckon even my unmanly noodle arms with a bit of rope could outlast your fingers, and your manliness. If you had to move a sizeable piece of plywood any meaningful distance, this is the way to do it. Rope is stronger than manliness, sorry bud.
@@SqueakyNeb I can absolutely Stick a piece of plywood under my arm into my armpit and carry it all day long, unassisted by any damn rope! If you can't stick your arms across a piece of plywood then you really probably shouldn't be carrying it in the first place because that means you're less than 4ft tall!!! BTW, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GEOMETRY, ITS FKN PHYSICS!!! SOFT MEN MAKE HARD TIMES!!!

You had a clean slate and you used it to belittle someone else while simultaneously embellishing your own skill and prowess.

Very nice, convenient way to carry plywood that I’m kicking myself for never thinking of lol
Cool.
*sits down in the middle of the Home Depot isle tying knots around plywood*
Can you do a video on how to tie down a laminate countertop to a truck bed with rope, not ratchet straps?
Basically a clove hitch over a bight then? Interesting. I'll have to try that next time i need a loop that comes apart easily.
It's a good loop to use for a Trucker's Hitch too. Ashley also has it in his book as a Bellringer's knot; in case you ever need to keep your rope of the belfry deck.

All knots are some variation of a "parent knot"
like sauces in cooking i.e. the "5 Mother Sauces"
And higher mathematics based off of some lesser math.
Brilliant stuff.
So, basically a clove hitch to secure a loop.
I have been wondering about this.thx for video
What if it is a heavy rectangular stone table top that needs at least 2 people to carry?
Freaking knot master
Awsome! How much tension can these knot resist?
Looks like it's very friction dependent so I'd say it depends a lot on the material of the rope
i got a better way, step one: stand sheet on end. step 2: grab center mass at bottom with one hand. step 3: lift.
Which book is that
Simply wonderful, thanks!
What rope is this you are using in this video? BTW, I love your videos.
Russell, it’s accessory cord from REI. I think it was about $20 for 50 feet.
Just tie a simple square knot? They slide until tension is even...... and they are easy to get undone, or you can do a locking square knot with a quick pull? Same idea as a shoe lace.....
Very cool rope handle! Would bowlines work for the end loops as well?
Yes. You could even create a modified bowline with the knot shown here.
Of course.

Whats the book called I’m interested
“Ashley’s book of knots” in it he covers nearly 4,000 knots including almost 7,000 illustrations “Clifford Ashley” published it in 1944
There's also a revised version with more modern knots added
Nah - rather use a bowline - just as easy to untie.
Handle a good idea though.

What's shown in the book you are holding is much more simpler. You made is it complicated.
