Ah, 106 . . . more !!
I’ve taken a fancy to a structure originated as an Eye Knot,
but which does quite well qua Ends Joint. Taking if from
the EK’s Tangle, the e2e Joint is asymmetric --marriage of
a loop + OH (OverHand). But one can extend the “loop”
side into an OH for a symmetric knot, if desired.
(How many e2e cases have “symmetric” materials?
–this knot I’m keen about works well in thin-2-thick Joints,
with structure for this being, in components, OH-to-loop.
)
And you show as your “Agave S Bend” a form that I can
handily verbally amend to give my knots --having but
one name for the EK & naught for the Joing : “3Rings Bowline”.
So, on your Tying Method 5 for the Agate S Bend,
look at the top-left 2nd-row image :: here my knot(s)
differ by the orange line’s white continuation line
after it is show crossing behind the blue S.Part to
be brought out through the inviting center space
–so, BEHIND the crossing blue & orange parts
into this space and then just out/over/… done;
the purple line is similarly altered.
One might say that here we change the Agave’s
“proper” (U-fold) collar to a loop collar.
Now, the EK is splendid, and the asymmetric Joint
does well, too; but the symmetric version will require
some wrestling with the Tails’ adjacent exit to keep
them at about the same “level”. --a challenge, e.g.,
for Ashley’s #1453 :: the ends want to align themselves
adjacent perpendicular to the axis of tension.

I count 44 knot names per column, 3 col.s per page
(= 132 knot names per page), and 7 full pages (=924 knot names)
plus 11x4 -1 = 43 on the 8th page, for a total of 967 names !!
Which is about a half of ABoK (incl. decorative knots).
To the extent that most?/many of these represent
unique tangles, there comes by tangle-figuring some
huge number of further knots that one might consider
(if only briefly, still a LOT of work)!!
(And way beyond my yesterday working out a
sketch or two of something believed worthwhile & “new”.)

In a couple of attempts to view one or more of
the files, using library & a friend's computer systems,
I kept getting nothing downloaded!?

Hi Dan,
I regret to your feeling. I took a thorough check on these two folders and found no problem and easy to access. Is there anyone encounter the same situation? Would anyone suggest to solve this?
yChan
Well, just now I too had no problem --saw several files.
Thanks,

Hello Siriuso (Ychan)
I am eager to pose this question for you.
Hypothetically speaking, if there were a bend competition, with required characteristics like stability, security, jam resistance, complexity, and every participant had to bring just one bend structure of his own creation, which would be your entry?
Of course the question is directed to all knot developers, and its very essence is to highlight some of the best bend structure creations that were introduced in this forum, and were lost in translation.
If i were you, i would bring out the big guns, such as the remarkable "tube eight bend" (Z8)
.
Xarax's Hugo bend is also one of the very best, "zeppelin like", entries, in my opinion.
