Tutorial

With thanks to our friend Adreena Winters who came and got tied up in the name of education. So here are some images we took for the Rope Bottom guide. Even for an illustration Clover got some absolutely gorgeous images.

This is a now very old tutorial for the Wicked fast bowline. I'll shortly be replacing it with an updated one that doesn't just show you the knot but explains it and it's strengths and weaknesses too.

As I promised someone I'd make this tutorial here's one on joining rope for Shibari bondage. Hope you find this useful.

Something that turned up while noodling about with rope. It reminds me of a few other knots a couple of which I mention in the video. I'd be interested to see if this is useful to people and how they use it.

In this video I show you how I personally treat my signature single lay M0co jute.

This is the 'sleepy' tie*. Great fun with someone who's face down. I created this tie to work without having to pass the rope under the person at any point so it could be tied without problems on someone lying down. Hope you have fun with this.

This methods particular strength is that the rope deploys fast and in a consistent none tangling manner. If you do it right the rope will not come undone accidentally.

Though there are places where I would use this and places where I wouldn't I think that this knot is a very valuable one. Great for when you want a knot that is positively uncollapsible but by the same token not one to use when you want something that can be undone under tension.

The most basic and most commonly screwed up of basic knots. The classic beginning to the takatekote or gote shibari.
