Im making one right now, got side tracked by this knowledgeable video of yours. I started with a 7 inch aluminum nail, broke it in half. Now I'm filing the broken end to be flat so I can drill a hole into it. I think I'm gonna make the point more angled though. Cause since it is a nail, its too short for its thickness in my opinion.

woooww i did it finalllyyyy ,,thankkk uuu brother , this knot have frustrated me for years , even with using a pinned mandrel and a printed pattern it was too technical , u made it soo simple without speaking , thanks , may god guide u to the straight path , jazaka allahu khairan , love from egypt

what is that rope thing you are showing on 5:49?

Simply brilliant...you are so expert at this, wonderful to watch !

Finally, a video of exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you for doing this!

This music is awesome does anyone know who it is ????

I really loved this video. And as much as I i loved the content, that guitar picking was simply exquisite. Just one question, how did you secure the hooks to their respective gears?

Around 3 minutes telling paracord guys that they're lace knitting girls. Bravo sir!

Best star knot tutorial by far!

This is such a wonderful tutorial. I still get stuck in the fairing process and end up going round and round, basically just moving the loose rope back and forth. Any tips?

Well laid out and displayed. Very clear.

Now that is what a true craftsman can do. Very beautiful and alot of craftsmen need a handy tool like this to do their work. Very nice buddy. I know they would sell out fast than you could make them.

Дякую за дуже просте і зрозуміле відео.

Thanks for the excellent video. I have two questions I hope you will answer. How do I calculate the length of rope needed if my rope is of a different diameter? How do I calculate how much rope is needed to make a mat of a particular size? Thank lyou very much for your help.

Beautiful work there buddy. I had to hit the like button and subscribed to this channel. You are gifted at knife making, leather and needle work. 5 out of 5 stars for my vote. You got them. How much do you sell a knife like this for. You done a great job finishing it.

Seeing you splice takes me way back...for a moment there, I was thirteen and Skipper was watching my every move and handling... . Good ol' times :-)

Nice how you whip after splicing: it's the first time I see it, very interesting.

Greetings Mikko. Always enjoyable to watch. Thanks for posting.

Would love to know more about that line you just made. Great work.

Algorithm engagement comment. 👍🏻

I like that extra move as you tuck the splice. It must keep the twist in the lay

Excellent

It took me a while to catch on to the beautiful guitar being "How Great Thou Art." Lovely.

Very nice.

Where do you get your cordage? It's impossible to find such nice stuff near me, or even on Amazon!

This is fascinating. Thank you. Please continue to preserve crucial history.

Wow. I've never seen this before. The only similar knot I've seen is the monkey's fist.

i actually came up with a goodly hank of manilla line that just might handle a project like this... can't wait to try it... great video, thanks

4:38 - that looks like the rattan rugbeater is used to feel on my arse as a 10-year-old

🕊❤️🕊Peace and Love🕊❤️🕊

Very nice---what do you call a man everybody walks all over ? ......Matt

Greetings Mikko, Good timing on this one. I'm about to make one with an old coil of rope. Thanks for the refresher course. Always good to see a post.

Nice Christmas present for a neighbor or buddy. 👌🏻👍🏻

❤❤❤

How is that traveler hook set up?

Thank you for making these videos. 2 questions. Any tips on how to stop the twine from twisting up? Also how do you finish the hitching? By the way, your work, your traditional skill set and craftsmanship is truly impressive, thanks for sharing..

Excellente vidéo 👍bravo encore..je suis fan 😊

A fascination with rope and string since I was a child. And there are obviously others around the world who are just as keen.

I love these videos on traditional methods. Thankyou Mikko

That's so cool. Never saw that before. Awesome set up.

it was weird he never said aho

Welp, my gast is pretty much flabbered!

A beautiful decoration, but I don't recommend it for regular use. I know from personal experience that such bundled-up rope will develop mold when exposed to rain.

With the Top that you used, you wrap a cord attached to the Top around the main rope with a weight on it. Is this to give some resistance to the Top moving when you are on your own and so make it a harder laid rope?

What is that top made from?

SUPER nice!

Beautiful bag

In 1983 I made adjustable eyes in 1/2” nylon using only one twisted tri-grip for use on an electrical high-line job. I left a tail approximately 18” for the adjustment. One of them would hold two 800’ spans of 1-1/8” ACSR conductor. They never slipped or failed. I have used this for other applications since then; again without a single failure.

that was quite the investment back in the day. anyone with a few of those and a crew could make quality rope for sale
