J.D. Lenzen, the inventor of fusion knotting, explains knot tying in 15 levels of difficulty, from easy to complex. J.D. starts from the very beginning, with overhead, bowline, and square knots, and moves all the way into more advanced knots that are created in combination with many other different types of knots.
