Sailors Whisk Knot - Sailors Swab Knot - How to Tie

Показать описание
How to Tie the Sailors Whisk or Sailors Swab Knot. This knot also has other names such as whisk brush, hand broom. In the days of sailing ships and wooden decks, old rope was used to scrub or swab the decks. Due to the coarseness of the rope it was like using a scouring pad today.

In todays world the Sailors Whisk makes a good crumb sweeper for a table or as a scouring brush for cleaning pots and pans.

In this little knotting project I will be showing how to make a sailors whisk using a footrope knot (also known as a diamond knot or lanyard knot) This is a fairly simple knotting tutorial, the hardest part is the time it takes to separate the fibres of the rope.

In this video I used tarred rope as an experiment. However, I did learn that the kitchen and tarred rope can become very messy! It took me almost as long to clean the kitchen as it did to tease apart the fibres of the tarred rope.

The tarred rope actually came from the last Steam Drifter the Lydia Eva.

😉 I want the Spyderco C06TIP Tusk Marlin Spike Folding Knife! Anyone at Spyderco want to send me one to feature in my videos?

Footrope knot: "First you crown and then you wall, tuck them up and that is all." The Diamond knot doesn't include the crown.

STOP...STOP..STOP
USE 3 COLORS AND WORK ON A DIFFERENT COLORED TABLE.
THIS IS DIFFICULT TO SEE AND FOLLOW BECAUSE OF THE DARK COLORS ON DARK BACKGROUND.

Biggest, sloppiest, sailor's whisk I ever saw. And the shameless begging for a free knife left a bad taste in my mouth. I wont be back. And what I'm gonna do now is...
