I'm not sure if anyone can help, but 6-9 months ago, someone posted their method for stropping an eyehook to a block that looked miles better than the frustrating, fiddly way I was doing it.  There was some sort of looping knot that they started with.  I thought I copied the page, or the instructions, or saved an image, but I can't seem to find anything now.  I'd be interested to see how you do it, or if you know what I'm talking about, before I start down the road of doing about 60 of these.

 

Thanks for any help,

Ron

Rob,

Is it possible that you saw it in a build log?  Unless someone remembers, it'll be tough to find.

Hi Ron,

 

Was it this long running thread?  It has been steadily growing for years it seems.

 

I don't know if you do it Ron - don't want to teach people to suck eggs (especially as I have been back at MSW less than a year), but if I come across a useful old thread I "follow" it, as I know I will be doing just what you are now and months later think "now where was that useful tutorial/build log..." 😆

 

I now have several pages of "Followed" MSW content in my profile so I can get to it easier.  Some are build logs on kits with really useful insights into building (even though the subject is perhaps not one I will do) and the rest are links like the one above.

 

Anyway hope you find what you are looking for.

This is my tip, as an example of what you can do following:  "My way of seizing"     

Thx

I had thought of posting yesterday a link to one of @LFNokia's videos.  He uses this same technique as @Thanasis showed with 2 loops in a figure 8 and mid seizing.  It works well for a lot of variants on stropping a block, whether to an eye, a hook, to a yard, etc.

 

Here's one of his videos where he goes over the approach...
