A bend has 2 standing parts and 2 working ends. You just
... load the Tails.
  For an EyeKnot, I define "reverse" to swap the loadings of
each of the 2 pieces in the 2-Tangle, after cutting apart the loop
  (well, my *Tangle* never connected it and joining
    the old S.Part & Tail),
and thus the 1-2 piece will shift from 100%-&-50% to 50%-&-100%,
and the A-B piece likewise goes from 50%(RELeg) -&- 0%.
(Interestingly, the Reverse of the Fig.8 EK changes the
Interior/Exterior loading --S.Part & Tail being opposite in this.)
For the e2e Joint, "reverse" = "Tail-loaded",
but not for Eye Knots.

We need to be careful not to hijack or de-rail Alan Lee's topic thread.

Dan, I have started a new topic thread titled; "Transposition"

With absolutely, no intention of overshadowing the other Alan Lee's creations, i believe, the super bend of reply#59, for which Siriuso gets full credit so far, as the first inventor, shouldn't get lost in translation.

More specifically, if there was a subfolder in new knots investigation field, which would host the best knots with high acceptability by the majority of the knotting community, that were presented strictly in this platform, this so called Teepee joint, would have had more than just a good chance of being included in such a folder.

Of course, "such a knot" would have to be subjected to a series of tests concerning strength, stability, jam resistance, drop tests and so on, conducted by most of the interested knotters and would had to pass successfully and survive through this test procedure.

I' m not refering to a folder with a plethora of knots, but only with the best of the best, maybe even less than ten.

Examples of potential qualifiers: Ampersand bowline, Lee's link bowline, Z8, Teeppee ..... and so on.

This would also give more motivation to all creators  ;).

      Hi,
          Thanks for all the replies and help. Another bend here. Never do any tests, she'll be fine.
           It looks good to me. Thanks alanleeknots.
