Tie a Reef Knot (for Non-Tensioned Wire)

What happens here

The reef knot (also known as a square knot) is primarily used for joining two pieces of wire that are *not* under tension. To tie a reef knot, create two 'U' shapes in the two wires. Pass the right-hand U under and then over the left-hand U. Then, take the tail of the right-hand U and pass it over the left-hand U's tail and through the loop formed by the left-hand U. Pull both ends tight. When tension is applied with a chain strainer, this knot also tightens down securely. It is effective for splicing wire where tension is not extreme, or where the wire will not be under constant high strain.
