Are you guys using a lifting sock when roping gear up on a wheel?

 

[southernpoofter]

The rabbit verse is how I i was taught & how i teach labourers how to do a rolling hitch....not a song thread lol

 

[Tony Mason]

Knots that I have useful are,
The truckers hitch.
Timber timber hitch.
Rolling half hitch.
Figure of eight.
Bowline hitch.
Crown knot.
Soft eye splice.
All very useful knots that young scaffolders should be taught.
A good length of rope can be the third man in the gang, but is only as good as the men at the end of it.

Very true Tony ,
But to me the most useful bit of kit is not the rope but the light line
The amount of times it's made my life so easy is unreal and it's becoming a forgotten art mate .
How long does it take to teach a young gun a simple knot ,
I can't believe they can't grasp it ,
And as for showing them a simply dolly knot to tie down a load you would think its brain surgery your asking them to perform ,
This stuff was always your first learning curve in the game

 

[Garry Adams]

@ Phillio…a lost art indeed…however, for Green Hands the B.S. Double rolling hitch and the Timber hitch may suffice for now, together with a Scaff manual Handling introduction all can be done by the lead Hand and monitored on the job...

Can anyone else on here tie a double tiger knot? Took me eight and a half years to learn it and never comes undone.

 

[Bobbysupascaff]
