  • I used a constructor knot to remove a stuck stopper plug out of my kitchen sink. I’m going to leave it on there for next time as a handle.

    Ok, at some point, you're not allowed to call yourself an "amateur" anymore. So full of great information!

    Please teach the rest of the interwebs how to actually start a video with useful content and without all the blah blah blah. The world needs more like you. +1 👍

    We tried everything, including a plunger to get our sink stopper up after I somehow wedged it in. I started with this video, but it wasn’t working for me because my string kept going down the cup. I ditched the cup and went just with the string, and spoon instead. The spoon was a silver serving spoon, but not one you would cook in a pot with. Worked like a charm without the cup. I still twisted the spoon around and the rope got tighter and tighter. I just had to make sure it stayed on the stopper which it did. One annoyance down. Thank you for the video and by the way, I did say a little prayer that it would work I think that always helps.

    One of my favorite knots. I've always thought of it as a clove hitch tied under a round turn, or a round turn riding on the crossing of a clove hitch.
    One of my go to uses is as a temporary whipping when cutting rope. Often I would tie two knots, an inch or so apart, and make the cut between.
    Your content is useful as always. If you get a chance, maybe show folks how to tie the same knot when you aren't able to slip it over the end of the object?

    This fool and his high quality videos are really urging me to buy a bunch of Paracord and become a Paracord geek!😩 This guy makes it all look too easy and fun.

    I just use my fingers to pull the stopper, but this works also...

    Oh my gosh, this worked great! My Elkay sink has a strainer/disposer cover combo that got stuck. So it looks different than the one in your video (smaller area to grab) but your knot still did the trick. Thank you SO much! My husband was laughing at me but it worked! Thanks a million.

    This was an awesome video! My problem is it's not the same thing that's stuck on mine. So my kids dropped a baby cup down the sink/ garbage disposal and my husband CUT the black rubber thing in the sink to get the cup out. (His hand was too big to grab it) now the strainer type plug is wedged in th sink! I can't get it out

    I liked your technique. However, my stopper turned upside down and is stuck to where I have no leverage to pull it up. Any suggestions?

    Hey buddy what do you think is the best exploding knot that you can "keep your tension with" is? Maybe something like the Farrimond Friction Hitch? I want fast simple exploding hitch that tension can be pulled into to the standing end with. Thanks

    You could pull that up with your hand what happens if there’s nothing to wrap around and just completely flat

    Scenario is bogus. Why not just twist the tumbler.

    • @KenGray
      @KenGray 2 года назад +1

      Probably cuz it needs to stay open at the bottom.

    • @james1795
      @james1795 2 года назад +1

      @Clarence. HaHa! It's obvious the purpose of the tumbler went too far over your head for you to comprehend. Just because you don't understand, it doesn't make something bogus. Sometimes it's better to use what brain you have to figure something out, than to criticize.
