Great sowing skills 👍

Superb machine. If only I could put my hands on such a fine humming block for a bargain...

[@AndrewNewton]

Thanks Jose. Sewing by hand is impressive.

[@AndrewNewton]

OK I'll do a video soon on bridle knots and length ratios. Seems like enough people are asking for it.

👍😀

Wow, excellent. I sew my kites by hand. They fly, pretty well. However, they don't have that polished look and, that professional patina, that yours have. Well done!

Good one, Andrew! Clearly you are a bit of an expert with the sewing machine. You were a bit too quick for my old eyes to keep up, though. What was the real time involved? Jim

[@KenxyDaniel]

excelente una pregunta que palos o tubos has usado?

[@AndrewNewton]

Thanks, Skyshark P4X wrapped carbon fibre arrow shafts from Kites and Fun things in USA

[@marani197032]

[@AndrewNewton]

Thanks, not Ikea. It's a brilliant table for crafts. Came from an office furniture company in Melbourne, cant recall the name

Hola Andrews con tus vídeos estoy haciendo una Rokkaku como está, gracias...una pregunta los tirantes que medidas tienen? Que tipo de hilo utilizas para volarla?

[@AndrewNewton]

Hi Luis. I use Ashaway Dacron, more information in my blog andrewnewtonkap.blogspot.com/2013/01/lines-knots-and-reels.html

Hi Andrew i'm trying to build my first Rokkaku kite 20" and I have no measurements on how to fix the bridle and string length etc. If u could help mate will be great.. cheers

[@sueenglish61]

Hi ANdrew, I have just made this kite but I dont know how to rig it up - do you you have instructions for this? Also, I have used 6mm Tassie oak dowel - its pretty bend - will my kite fly?

[@AndrewNewton]

Rigging tips here andrewnewtonkap.blogspot.com/search/label/2m%20White%20Rokkaku. Carbon fibre tube is much stiffer and lighter but worth trying with your 6mm dowel

[@hebertalejandrocoaguilapum7873]

very good video, which size of flanges are the ones you use, I can not appreciate in the video. thanks for the reply
