I thought that there has been a thread on this but the search function is being mean to me. Anyway I was given an assignment to google notical knot tieing and learn some new knots since I'm so fond of making floggers.
So I found this one and it looks like it has a lot of potencial.

The man-o-war version looks like it might be a good start if you did that knot in the middle of a strand of rope and made sort of handcuffs out of it, then took the ends and proceded to bind the subbie the rest of the way.
What do you think?
