Great knot for making trellis's or plant cages with bamboo. You explained and showed 'how to' really well and clearly. Thank you!
Just did that today with this video hahaha
Extraordinarily solid square lashing, thank you for sharing this knowledge in such a clear and concise format!
This is my first time enjoying your UA-cam channel. Great work! I’m looking forward to more great content from you.
I learned the Japanese Square lashing a bit different. All is the same until you make the cross. While one line finishes the cross, the other line continues around the stick so you have the same number of lines around each arm right and left. This will also give you the same number on the back from side to side, though not the same number on front as on back. Then you start around for the fraps. You ALWAYS tie off on a frap corner rather than on the face of a stick; it will make it tighter.
Straight forward and clear. Love it. Learned how!
Thank you so much
Now im on my way looking to how to square knot 😅
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Slovenia
Straight to point and clear🤙
Excellent demonstration of the method 🙏👌❤
Super cool! Thanks for the video!
Wonderful tutorial and so easy!! Thanks
If you can't pull off a square knot I like to use an adjustable knot like for a necklace or something just to lock the tension, then I'll make a stable one with my free space I made
Thanks for sharing Bryan.
BEST KNOT EVER for making your own bamboo trellis
Good knot to know! Awesome vid as always!
Excellent!
Very great!
I looked at this because I fancy making kites. I will try this but what I thought of is two constrictor knots, or maybe four.
The lashing looks excellent. Thanks for posting.
thank you i love your channel
Great video thank you from a USN BT, Ido have a question do, what is the best natural fiber to tie bamboo outdoors
great scott very clever
you have taught me a lot under 4mins...you know a lot❤❤❤
Thank you this helped a lot with my trellises
My 6-year-old daughter says: "You have very good explanation."
thank you. this helped build my blanket fort
beautifully done lad...
Aloha! What size cordage do you recommend? Is waxed cord okay to use since it is waterproof? Building an outdoor, mobile bamboo structure! Mahalo!
@bigT5g It was a collaborative effort but we did do it ourselves.

Very nice I'm definitely gonna try this one out tomorrow when I wake up I got abunch of different sized rope and sticks
Thanks, very helpful.
good job thank you
very very good.
Thanks mate, I made a nice bamboo ladder with this technique
Dude you are a life saver. I always get confused Japanese square mark 1 and mark 2
nice... thanks for tutorial
Thanks it solved my problem. God bless you.🌟
I have a lot of bamboo that the previous owner planted. It is very invasive so I plan to have it taken out. I would like to use the bamboo to create a privacy fence. Do you have a vid that shows me how to do this?
Thanks man. I used a sheet bend knot after the square knot to secure it.
thank you for that
Good thing I subscribed. Talk about useful techniques!
@DemonHide It's not advisable, as the square knot ends the second frapping turn and helps secure the lashing. If you were to do the hitches first the square knot would not help to tighten those frapping turns.
~ Bryan
great help thanks
What is the best lashing material for (indoor) bamboo construction? I read of a waxed nylon available on A, but when going there it’s not available/out of stock. That one appeared to be a flat, tape like cord, not round like paracord
T0 hold a desired angle between poles, symmetry of wraps on each side and cross overs on both poles are essential, but incomplete in this square lashing demonstration. Using the Square knot allows slack. The final tie uses a self tightening knot.
Multiple wraps add to a tight connection. When tie line expands, when wet or for other reasons, the multiple wraps are also the cause for loosening. the final detail to avoid loosening is to glue wraps together with pitch, glue or paint. Different lines will require different adhesives.
Belt and braces!
Thanks man. Helped me tie a rusty post.
@@davegillett7135 Is there a video on UA-cam about belts and braces? I'm looking for ways to secure logs. Thanks!
@@shredders3881 I don't know
Thanks, good demo. I would suggest more emphasis on making every step very TIGHT, a very important part of a good secure lashing.
hello a question, you can do with any rope or cord in specific?
Very Nice!!!
Thx 👍
Love it, straightforward and clear. Thank you
Great vid ez to follow
Super!
I wish yu secured the bamboo between ur knees so there was less tussling around .
But still I learned from you on this vid!
Great job sir!
Thanks a lot
Thank youuuuuuuu
Is this a superior lashing for something like bamboo?
Thanks for this! I'm making a decorative ladder for my kitchen lol
A little different, I like it
Is there a book or database collecting all those techniques?
Is there a rule of thumb for how long the cord should be?
i meant to say Great Scott what a Knot
Is this safe for a large thing to climb human in bamboo.please can you tell me
@aznpos531 Thanks for the kind words!
~ Bryan
How much rope do you use?
Marc Lee was very good friends with my nephew and navy seal Rob Guzzo.
thanks great help I'll mention you in my video I'm making.
Thanks for this. Even with my ten thumbs, this was easy to follow!
Thanks
Just wanted to know the length of the chord that you used?
There is no better or worse rope for lashing. For this particular smooth(read slippery) wood the rope you're using is best and it also works with bamboo. If however you're in northern Europe, where no bamboo grows, where we use rough untreated pine, hairy manilla rope is far better as its rough surface cuts into the wood, whereas the knotty and barky sufface of pine might actually damage a smoother rope. The only flaw manilla rope has is that it'll shrink when wet. This is great if your lashings get looser over time, which they will, as when they do you can pour a bucket of water on them when your scout master isn't looking.... But if you want to untie them on a rainy day, your fingers will be hurting after three lashings.
Coming from experience any synthetic rope or plastic rope will slip no matter how tight it is because of it having no bite, an actual rope has bite, therefore, being better.
Thanks bro
Great info... What does your bracelet say? I caught a few words, thought it was interesting.. Lee or Navy..... 02 AUG 06...... KIA....
I was waiting for you to start lashing Japanese squares?
@ckobash Thanks!
all the yuoutube videos about this lash show how to bind 2 poles together. but none of the shows how you actually make a frame.
Thankyou for this knowledge I'm building raspberry trellis with bamboo scraps.
Thanks! i make a Xylophone wicth this Knot!
make a vedio tell me garden door easy method simple rough wood usage
Nice work, but the Japanese don't even up the wraps on each side?
I would like to know a way of joining bamboo for a bicycle frame without carbon fibre, expensive or dangerous epoxy or chemicals (although I concede that some glue might be necessary) Do you - or any viewers - have any ideas?
Epoxy is neither dangerous nor expensive. Geez...
That shit was dope !!!!!!
Tq
Sweet. Wonder if I can do this with 30 lb fishing line.
qll
thx
used this knot to strengthen my halloween plastic sword
works fine
is this good for Calisthenics?
Clear and direct, thank you. I am making crosses for Holy Week from tree branches. I am a 67-year-old- Catholic wife and mom. God bless you.
Ok boomer
@@KABEYT lmao I love you (no homo tho)
Thanks. this looks great. My chord is blue but I don't care. I am not getting up and driving to Lowe's just for aesthetics.
Seems the most important step to holding it all together was the square knot which wasn’t shown. Glad he’s not in a classroom teaching anything important.
That moment you have to search for what the hell a square knot is 🤣( english as 2nd language in my defence)
A suggestion for those of us who have difficulty following along: paint the two pieces of wood different colors. Thanks.

This looks like it would be good to make a ladder.
How we can built a cube with bamboo,by using this knot techinque
U didn’t get the MOST important part of the video, on video
check this one out:

🧐🧐🧐😮😯😲😳
You could tie a slip knot. Easier to un tie
Good Video. But , a bit pressed for time ,( if your making a ladder)..... When going over the wall , I'd want something a bit ...er...Quicker , Governor.LOL. (subscribed)
Preforms better but looks like a lot more time to do
Now. Lets build shelter
Very confusing. A six year old gets it and I don't? Nice!
I was waiting for the Japanese bondage knots.......
Your final knot is unclear, since the sticks get in the way.
