    a hot knife cuts well and leaves a good finish might need a bit of tutting up with a lighter but works well, knife docent have to be sharp just hot enough to melt through the rope

    I find that a good sharp knife 🔪 pressed down hard on rope on a cutting board gives me the cleanest cut every time.

    1) Measure to cut mark.
    2) Tape rope so the tape is on both sides of the mark tightly.
    3) Cut in the middle of the tape. (Use mallet and block if desired)
    4) Heat the end while the tape is still holding it together.

      I’ll try the tape and chisel/block method next time.

      And don't forget to tape before the cut and burn. I used to always cut then burn. Never used tape. Didn't realize how much neater it is to slowly melt the ends while they are taped.
      Thanks for the videos!

    Why not use sharp scissors to cut the cord? It cuts extremely clean and you don't need to tie off to the ceiling to make it straight.

      I think I'll try the block and chisel method next and if that doesn't work, I'll try sharp scissors. The problem I have with that one is finding a sharp pair of scissors around here with all my kids using them for who knows what. 😂

    I have heard the tail should be at least 5 times the diameter of the rope.

    • @AdventureSchoolVideos
      @AdventureSchoolVideos  Рік тому

      That’s probably a good rule of thumb. If dressed we’ll, these double fisherman knots aren’t prone to slipping much at all so shorter tails is likely not a significant risk, but five times the diameter on this 7mm cord is is only like 1.4 inches so not too bad.

    Question: I picked up a "Hot Knife" for cutting rope. Do you know if the end will hold up as solid as the method you are using.
    The cut has much less melted material holding it together. ( I know very little about working with rope.)
    I have used electrical tape to hold the rope tightly together as another viewer has suggested.
    None of my arts and crafts have had extended field use. Thanks for the video.
    I am going to install an anchor point in the ceiling of my office to practice with. (Looked to be how you are doing it)
    Plus I can practice all the climbing knots while watching video at my desk.
    Thanks again. 😀👍

      Great question. My experience with hot knife cutting is that they'll work well to get a clean cut, but if you're using the rope for anything other than around the house, you'll want to seal further up the rope than just the surface. even just a 1/4" is good, but sealing in any loose ends will ensure you don't get fraying or separation from the sheath and core. A heat gun will work, but if you don't have one, just use a lighter like I did.

    Before you make a video you should know what size rope you have, what kind, etc.

    Use a red hot knife to cut synthetic rope. Then touch up the loose edges with a lighter. BTW, were you toking when you filmed this? LOL

    I just watched a 10 minute video that showed me how to make a loop, not how to make a prusik loop. I'd rather watch the knot-tying than the rope-cutting and end-sealing
