Making a Rope Side Fender for a Boat - Easy to Follow Instruction on Making a Side Fender.
In this video, I will show you the process of making a rope side fender. The rope I used came from the Lydia Eva YH89 the last operational steam drifter in the world. The rope itself on one fender is right-hand lay and on the second rope fender is left-hand lay. Both ropes have been treated with tar sometime in the past.
The rope fender is not only practical but also, in my opinion, a very decorative piece of ropework.
This way of making a rope fender can also be used with such materials as Paracord, to make decorative rope fender key rings or key fobs.
Crown Knots and Turks Head knots are used in the process of making the rope fender

from your website: "Rope Length: 2 X 65″ and 1 X 135″ or in Metric 2 X 195cm and 1 X 343cm" I think the conversion is wrong: 65 inches are 165 centimeters. Many thanks for the video!!

Nice and simple clear instructions. Easy to follow.

@KnottingKnots Год назад

Glad it was helpful! Do you plan on making one?

@Rhodri80 Год назад

@@KnottingKnots I do. I made a plywood Duck punt, minus the cannon, and I thought a couple of rope fenders would be useful.

@MonotonyTV Год назад

@@Rhodri80 Ah yes, I think I know what you mean, if I recall correctly they have a really long barrelled gun on the deck. What do you use it for?

@Rhodri80 Год назад

@@MonotonyTV Just leisure boating. Its basically a flat bottom canoe you can paddle, row or sail. I made it from John Millgate's plans for the Mersea Island Duck Punt. There are lots of videos on here of people using them. Some even build in the the gun mount grove into the bow for authenticity. It's relatively simple to build, has no keel or rudder. A bit too heavy to easily put it on a roof rack on your own.

@KnottingKnots Год назад

And you made it!! You will remember every detail with fondness, even the things that were tough. I find that when I create a knotting project, I remember the warmth of the sun and my dog laying next to me snoring.

@mikedunn5633 7 лет назад

Hi JD We bought a narrowboat last year and I'm keen to learn to do as many practical things as possible, having spent most of my working life in education (that's me in ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r3jtHfcco_w.html). I think I've got the hang of back and eye splice, so thought a small fender would be a good one to tackle next. Thanks again!

@KnottingKnots 7 лет назад

How is life on a narrowboat? If you are getting into knotting, I would like to suggest Des's book on knotting projects. amzn.to/2g1iTVi it has some great projects that are not only decorative but useful. Another suggestion if you are on Facebook I can link you up with some excellent groups?

@robertreid7221 4 года назад

You make it look so effortless Johnny, think I'll make one in white polypropylene as natural cordage is so darned expensive. I said to the wife that I was going to hang several fenders around the lounge in a nautical theme. You should have heard the language? And her not even a sailor !!!

@KnottingKnots 4 года назад

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Yes, you will go through a phase of putting up ropework all over the place. I think the biggest complaint I get now is, all the cuttings left around the house.

@KnottingKnots 7 лет назад

Thanks for your comment Pual. I was recently contacted by the son of the person who wrote the Fender Book. He wants me to do a video review on his fender kit. So hopefully another fender video coming out shortly. Are you a decorative or practical knotter?

@nssdesigns 7 лет назад

I'm neither BUT after 30 years as a Graphic Designer in Marketing for large corporate industries I've done a u-turn and enrolled on a boat building course here in Hamina, Finland (slightly challenging as I'm from the UK), so trying as I can to build a lapstrake 7m day sailer. However these traditional crafts really inspire me and I have a friend in the harbour here that is what 70 years young and does this stuff. I'm absolutely fascinated by it and I'm gathering books and info on how to do this work. Hence the becket sea chest handle question on the 'Crown Sennit' video... so please keep them coming -this stuff is rare nowadays and needs to be documented so keep up the good work. Sorry for the long reply.

Complete beginner! Would rather have a go than pay for ready-made fenders. We'll see how it goes... thanks again.

@KnottingKnots 6 лет назад

Brilliant, the problem that I foresee might be getting hold of cheap rope. Rope these days is so damn expensive, I often search eBay to get what I want. I assume that you are a UK boater?

@juliephelps2026 6 лет назад

We bought a cheap offcut at Crick to experiment with, after meeting another narrowboater in Bancroft Basin who made all his own fenders. Probably one of your students! Reels of it are v expensive, I agree, so that's a great tip - to look on eBay. I also noticed your tip somewhere to use old rope for the core of the fender - and we've got plenty of that! Thanks again!

@KnottingKnots 6 лет назад

I believe that there is also some very thick black tubing that is used as fenders (not those white inflatable ones). I see no reason why they could not be covered with rope to give a more substantial and decorative fender? Maybe, start off by making your boat some cabin strings. Nice way of practising as you get used to rope and knots. If you find that you enjoy it, may I also suggest this book by Des: amzn.to/2KoGptg packed with loads of projects. What sort of boat do you have?

@michami135 3 года назад

For the core, you can fold a second rope in half, a short ways below the top eye, then do a 4 strand (square) weave the length you want it and go directly into the crown. No need for the whipping a the top and bottom.

Very cool! I love the idea of using the Turks heads instead of the seizing, and also the red and green for port and starboard.

@ronminervino6718 6 лет назад

How do you figure rope length if you want to make a longer fender?

@KnottingKnots 6 лет назад

If I recall correctly for about every inch of rope you weave, you need about 12 inches of rope in total. However, if you do make a longer fender, it may be worth increasing the number of ropes from say 4 to 6 or even 8. This will then give you even more bulk in the body of the fender.

@ronminervino6718 6 лет назад

@KnottingKnots 3 года назад

Yes, you can insert a core. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

@mikedunn5633 3 года назад

It probably depends on the type of boat you have. These are perfect for a British narrowboat (I've made several following this method), but I notice river cruisers and yachts use 'thicker' fenders, so a core might be useful.

@UguysRnuts 5 лет назад

That is not how to tie a turks head! No wonder you went off course. Turning your hand over, the way you do, blinds you to where you are in the knot. Not to mention proper fenders don't need a turk's head at all!

@UguysRnuts 5 лет назад

Also, you're tying the fender from three pieces of rope, which is wrong. Fenders should be tied from two equal length pieces of rope. Middle the first to form the eye and open up the strands six inches down from the middle. Thread the second rope through the open strands and middle it. This results in 50% fewer cut ends to deal with. You don't even tell people the lengths you started with, which, btw are way too short for anything bigger than a canoe. A proper sailor-made fender doesn't need a redundant Turks head to be "more decorative", especially one fashioned from pretty blue paracord. So gay.
