This knot has changed my whole suspension. Thank you. It proved itself while hiking the A.T. I push this knot to everyone who uses a continuous loop on the end of their hammock.
By far the clearest description of how to tie a button knot! The shaping and flattening technique makes this far easier to move from watching to doing. Really a great job--thanks!
Great tutorial on tying the button knot for a soft shackle! I had tried to follow several other tutorials made by high-liners, but visualizing the instructions was hard. Watching this video I could visualize the knot and now I can tie this in seconds! Thanks!
@@jeffmyers7062 Thanks. I was just thinking you could make a few cents from associate links. I think this is still the best button knot video. I've listed it in the Dyneema section of my list of links given to Marlinespike Sailing students at the Hoofer Sailing Club. addbalance.com/Sail/Knots/Links Marlinespike.pdf
I'm not very good at visualizing complex three-dimensional shapes, like knots, and comparing them in my head... Is the button knot the same as the diamond knot except that the free ends are fished down through the center of button knot?
Man good tutorial, you still too fast, on the big rope it's like you are catching a train, maybe a better close-up of the loops, in my humble opinion. cheers in advance.
I don't like to call myself an expert, after playing with ropes for over 30 years, there are so many ways to tie a knot, I am just finding it a bit of a mind-boggling and not enough clarity at the instructions at the moment. please with your next tutorial do slow it down a little bit for the Dummies amongst us.

Very well done!!!! Thank you
You are an excelent instructor!
Why is it that nobody uses a crochet hook to bury the tails or hook tags to pull through knots?
thanks!
Hi Jeff, you need to update the links on your splicing tools - latch hooks.

Jeff does the stainless steel wire in your tool list easily bend in half to make your tool or does it tend to break at the bend?
It bends nicely
Well I tortured it first try..back to drawing board. :-0
the newer video is better
I did better on 2nd and 3rd attempts. After watching numerous times . Thankyou and well done.
@@jeffmyers7062 Where is it, the newer video?

No it's a different not you got to try tying both of them to see it
Can’t find the other vids or see the links for the tools
added just now

just try to do it a few times , you can't be an expert after one video , doing it yourself is the the real key.
