How to Tie the Swing Hitch - The Perfect Knot for Hanging a Swing
If you are looking for the right knot to hang a swing, then the ideal knot for that is the Swing Hitch. The advantage of using the Swing Hitch is that once it is pulled up tight and dressed smartly, it grips firmly and prevents the rope from chaffing as the swing is used.
*Ashley's Book of Knots:* "465. To make fast a swing: The accompanying hitch is recommended, as it stays in place and does not chafe against the crossbar or limb." It then goes on to say: "466. A better method is to splice the ends of rope to snap hooks or sister hooks. These can be easily unhooked from the eye bolts and stored in winter. With this treatment ropes may be made to last several seasons."

Your demonstrations and props are class! Thank You, Doctor!
Bravo. Keep them coming when you can, thanks.
Good video, thanks for sharing, YAH bless !
Definitely needs a stopper knot...
Congrats on 100k! Do a face reveal!
Always wanted to learn this!! Many thanks 🙏 I
Thank you much 🙏
What do you plan on using this for?
@KnottingKnots I am crafting by hand bracelets, necklaces, and other jewelry. I plan to start vending soon so as to sell them at the saturday market and hopefully a stall in our local mall for this Christmas season.
@@roy2d2c YES!!! I love to hear this sort of thing. The Turk's Head Bracelet is always popular and relatively easy to make: czcams.com/video/07gmOzOteg8/video.htmlsi=_YVihtDm14FInTiS Shame you mentioned Christmas 😉 😉 😉
@@KnottingKnots Oooo thank you kindly 😀
I’ve seen a few different ways to tie this and this explanation and instruction is super repeatable and reliable for me. I kept messing up with other methods. Thank you!
If you like this method, then you may also like this old video on other knots than can be done using this method: czcams.com/video/3r2UjaV8SVg/video.htmlsi=f5OB8yzbW7uVbjrP
Oh weird. Ive been doing this for years. Didnt know it was a special shortcut method. To me it just seemed like quick way. I use a truckers hitch and then collapse it on itself.. Pretty much as in video

Great video, as always! I've always done a whipping that looks like this but is way more complicated to do and doesn't look quite as nice as yours. This will be a great technique to use. One question, I have some 4-strand rope and I've been trying to figure out a way to apply this to that just to see if it can be done. I'm sure there is a way... but almost all of the rope I normally use is 3-strand.
Not sure that you can? Quick solution is to weave in an extra strand................... will have a look and get back to you 😉 😉 😉
how do you tie the 2 ends together?
I personally use the Double Fisherman's Bend, also becomes adjustable if need: czcams.com/video/zKRhVKgjWjo/video.htmlsi=NbzvF3vjlH8ZhfCR
Got the double but not the treble. Can't get that nice spiral like you have.
Dressing a knot is always a slow and gentle process................. keep at it 😉 😉 😉
Growing up in a Navy town many years ago I picked this up from an old salt who had learned it from WW2 guys. It’s a slip knot with the free end run through and then turned inside out! You’re the only other person I’ve run into that knows how to do it this way. He taught us to throw the end of the rope around our waist and tie the knot around us in a couple seconds or less.
I also love how knots are packed full of memories 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots and cordage being used in action!
@@KnottingKnots His story was they used it to retrieve swimmers under fire after they had done their survey work on a beach before a landing. Must have been one of their earlier efforts because I believe they had a slicker system during the heavy push in the Pacific. He was pretty good with a rope and I remember at least a couple of them!
I'd kinda noticed that the marlin was similar. Very clever thanks, makes tying bowline on other things much easier!😊 Subbed, you're almost on 100k 👍😎
Many thanks for the sub 😉 😉 😉 You may also enjoy this rather old video on what else can be done with the Marlin Spike Hitch: czcams.com/video/3r2UjaV8SVg/video.htmlsi=v1oeUYoTI2hBPCye

Well I suppose I'm going to have to watch this several times because it's really confusing to me I guess I'm just an idiot. Anyway thanks again for showing me how to do this and I will have to practice until I get it down.
Don't worry, I actually started this channel just for me to learn and remember knot, as I was hopeless............... then over time others were watching too 😉 😉 😉 You may also be interested in these other Net Making Videos, there are a few different types of nets and also knots: czcams.com/play/PL7nysDkNnZHelZpSk9Xi0YyztSUKgC4GA.html I do hope that you find some of these of interest.
I love this knot. I used it instead of a bowline to attach sheets to a headsail, was in a bit of trouble after sailing all day because the knot is quite difficult to break once it has been loaded. Still very nice.

All eminently usable. I especially like the joining of two ropes (last example)!

Ahh no more rabbit comes out of the hole then around the tree and back down the hole. Very clever. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, it would seem that the rabbit is slowly leaving us............ sad really.
Hello. Very cleaver, thank you. I would like to keep the little bunny running around though.
The bowline is a very useful knot. Practical and easy to tie in all it's variations.
Cleanly explained. Making use of the marlin spike hitch is efficient.

Thanks for demonstrating the midshipman's hitch! I've seen this used to take the load from the boat's halyard so it can be made fast to a pin. In this case, the "working end" is a separate short line that's anchored to the deck. Very cool!
Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots and cordage being used in action!
Is it easier when it's wet.
Interesting question.................. Maybe with it being wet, when completed and allowed to dry could make a firmer splice......... will have to give it a go. Why do you ask?
@@KnottingKnots I noticed when rope is wet it's more bendy.
@@user-yb9xy3bu9b I also think that when the rope is un-laid, those parts will hold their shape better too???
If this knot tends to jam after loading, is there any reason to prefer it over the zeppelin bend?
My understanding is that the knot is good when used in slippery or slimy rope. There may also be instances where you want to join two ropes on a more permanent basis, so jamming is not an issue and also may be of assistance??
Thank you for being clear and to the point
Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
@@KnottingKnotsyou're welcome. in these troubling times we have to remember to show each other respect and gratitude to remind each other we care As God intended
Another fantastic video! You are an excellent teacher. Congrats! P.S.: Whenever I hear your voice, I can't avoid thinking that you are Anthony Hopkins narrating your videos. Anyway, it's always a pleasure watching and listening to them.
Actually, this is Anthony Hopkins, the acting dried up and I had to revert to these damn videos 😉 😉 😉
Just wondering if you have made a full cargo net tutorial yet? Making this first cell is simple to do but how can you add further cells to it? Is it possible or do you need to add more strands?
The only other information I have is here: igkt-solent.co.uk/cargo-net/
I will try this. I lost a long comment but don't have the heart to type it all again. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thanks for letting me know, I will see if your post is "Held for Review"................ Funnily enough, I just made another one last weekend using 10mm cord and 5 passes. Are you planning to make a large or small one?
@@KnottingKnots Small for the first go.
@@patriciaoneill5758 Works great in second hand rope that has had a life!! If you are using 10mm rope, you will need about 37 meters for a mat with 5 passes. Sometimes I get old rope from eBay, every now an then it is being sold dirt cheap as they just want rid of it. 😉 😉 😉
Ashley gives this knot as a ring hitch but is a bit vague as to it's use ,as the captain is the winch which winds in the ankor one wonders how it would be used.
You can make a bowline and pull a bight through it .if one makes a clove hitch which is two half hitches and pull one half hitch through the other you get an overhand knot depending on which way you made your half hitches ,you have a wall or crown but you still have two half hitches but now they are on a single circuit and when one ties a bowline the first thing you do is tie a overhand knot and by using one end you finish your knot but as the overhand knot has two half hitches if you use the other end with the other half hitch you can make another bowline.
What Is the spike you have, or is it just Bradawl?
In the world of knotting, it is known as a Marlin Spike. I had this one specially made for me, if you search for custom Marlin Spike or custom spikes, you should be able to find a maker near you.
😂 Micheal Caine teaches rope skills
Yes mate, the acting career dried up, so I had to resort to doing this 😉 😉 😉
Great as always
Thanks again!
