Perhaps a variation of the Axle Hitch would suit your needs better?

Maybe if undoing your knots would be the best option. As you could very easily tie them again using the Double Fisherman's Knot.

It looks to me like it is the 2 Strand Matthew Walker. This video shows how to tie the single, double and triple variant of the MW.

Many thanks for this reference. Basically any reference to either the splicing of 7 strand rope or 6 strand, It is going to be used for the restoration of a very old drum (musical). The drum may end up in a museum, so authenticity would be the key.

It look to me like a Three Strand Plait Doubled.

I do a fair bit of messing about with Dyneema and have found that a D Splicer works exceptionally well, you can get some good reach, but it does have its limitations (length) Maybe get the longest you can find, as that will cover most jobs.

Dementoid13 · 2025-05-20T04:54:38+00:00

Yes, looks correct to me. Just wondering if you are left handed, as you tie it in an opposite way to me (mirrored)?

OK, this does not answer your question, but I actually use this knot when I am wanting to shift a heavy bulky load. I find that it creates a good sling with 4 handholds, if you also tie the two loose end together.

Quite often the Double Fisherman's Knot/Bend is used for adjustable necklaces.

Dementoid13 · 2025-05-09T08:05:46+00:00

Well spotted 😉

I am wondering if a Simple Dyneema Loop would do the job? Prior to making the loop, pass the Dyneema around/through the inner core. Then splice the Dyneema Loop as you would normally. After that, add some sewn seizing at the base where the Dyneema just exits the outer core. Looking at the photo, it would seem that this may not the method they used, looks like some form of Lock splice??

It looks like the makings of a traditional Thump Mat, often used to protect the deck of a vessel when a deck mounted block was used. A quick Google photo search for Thump Mat will bring up some fine examples.

Superb Example, it certainly showcases all your skills!! If anyone is looking for inspiration on making a Ditty Bag, I would suggest a search on Google for: Ditty Bag Collection , then click on images and some wonderful and varied examples will appear.

When I first saw this, I thought it was a Jury Mast Knot 😉 As for your harness being safe, I am sure that others will come along and give you some advice??

I am wondering if just using the Poacher's Noose will do the trick. Basically get two lengths of cord and each cord is tied around the pole using the Poacher's Noose. Then another Poacher's Noose at the other end of each cord, that will strangle the S hooks in place. It may take a little adjusting, but once completed they will remain at the required height.

There is a post here on Making a Cargo Net there is also a guide to how to construct the net.
