Hello all,
Im new to the forum and knots in general so be easy if I dont get it right.
Im looking for information on how I can best lift a round/ circular object, like a 9litre plastic bucket without a handle, vertically.
At the moment Im using a bowline to set up a loop, putting a clove hitch into the loop and trying to split the clove hitch to form a cradle underneath and a bit of security round the sides, under the lip of the bucket.
This has limited success. Probably 1 in 4 dont work :-[and i need to keep some water in the bucket to hold tension on the line so the clove hitch doesnt fall apart on the lowering.
Any ideas to speed up the process and make it more efficient would be greatly appreciated.
