5x4 turks head tutorial

[@rogerauclair1670]

One of the best if not the best turks head tutorial that I've seen. Like many I did not pick it up that quickly so I got the idea to keep pausing and making screen prints of every step and in the end it totalled 27 pictures on 14 pages. I printed the pages off and put it in my braiding / knot tying folder as a quick reference. Now the 5x4 and 7x6 turks head comes easily to me. From one Roger to another, thanks for your help.

I had watched pretty much every Turks head knot video on the Internet twice and was still as confused as ever. I watched your video a couple of times and I had it! Thank you so much for the only "understandable" Turks head knot video!

[@noahschefer3776]

I looked high and low to find out how to do I finally got it thank you!!!

[@muskratmanknives1]

Finally someone that explained it well enough and went slow enough that I could actually follow along and successfully tie this knot, thank you.

[@Windsiusiu]

Thanks for an excellent tutorial presentation! I follow it step by step and it came out well beyond my expectations. But I over tighten it on a wooden cane and couldn't pin thru the last cord underneath to finish the turk's head for a perfect job. What a bumberrrr!!

I wished I had found you sooner. I have been watching videos on how to tie a turks head knot for 6 months. I watched yours once and it clicked. The explanation and video were both great. Count me as new and loyal subscriber.

This is the Knot from Hell! I wake up in the middle of the night with cold sweats. If I don't get this soon I'm going to give up and focus on how to make the hang mans noose.

Excellent turkshead video, brought it home for me. Especially on expanding a knot. Another good series is by Knottactical.

[@aniruddhavidwans3626]

Very easy to understand instructions. Thank you very much for posting.

[@leewilkerson8185]

Thank you for this video, Roger. I think if I watch enough videos on tying TH knots, I will finally get it. Of course it does help that I'm also tying the knots... Thank you for that extra part, too.

After a month of watching tubes the bulb finally comes on-thanks!

[@tommyclowers344]

I subscribed! I am a whipmaker and your tutorials for the turks head and 7x6 pineapple knot are the best on the web! I was having a very hard time till I watched these! And I watched about a dozen others before I gave these a chance. Might I suggest doing some with flat paracord in attractive colors like a heel knot to draw more attention from all the other normal tutorials.

[@Tung_a_bung]

yep I fell the same way

[@MrBoden-fu2qu]

Hey I am very impressed with your two videos. Very very good. Thanks for doing them and explaining so well

[@clayshot]

Both your videos are excellent!

[@archaicartisan2670]

Great Explanation. Cleared up a lot of questions. Thank you

[@myron2386]

Thanks for this video, it was clear and easy to follow!

[@rma1979]

excellent video - really helped me get a "mental grip" on raising a Turk's Head

[@codiewhite4997]

Very nice tutorial.

[@dqmc07]

Awesome and thanks

[@mitchelllewis4916]

Great tutorial, thanks!!

[@ZZ6186]

Can you supply written instructions for this?

[@kdallen1234]

Thanks I finally did it.

[@aculasabacca]

One thing you can do instead of using a needle is soak the end of the cord with cyanurate/super glue however far down you want and it will become stiff, maybe a little sand paper will help it pass smoothly through your knot.

[@thomasheaney5321]

Well done, thank you

[@deniseamaya7981]

How can i raise it up more. Do i use the same technique when your created the 7x6?

[@howlers8]

How to tie a spanish ring knot

[@garrettmacadams1732]

When u raise it once from the 5x4 u get the 6x7... If u raise it once more u get a ?

[@MabelTyingTuts]

When you raise it from the 5L 4B you get a 7L 6B and then a 9L 8B... and so on. Adding 2L and 2B each time.

Why sometimes do you go over 2 under 1 and other times go over 1 under 1

[@rogerauclair1670]

Generally when you go over 2 under 1, over 2 under 1 is when you are creating a bight to extend the Turks head, for example to go from 5x4 to 7x6. The other under 1, over 1 also creates a bight but it balances the Turks head with the correct number of overs and unders. A few years ago the Turks head was a mystery to me but I watched this video many, many times until I learned how to tie the 5X4 and 7X6 Turks head, now it’s easy.

[@arelyvazquezvazquez4355]

what is the needle used

[@djecpamba]

It’s a Tandy jumbo lacing needle, sometimes called a Perma-Lok fid. You can find them on Amazo..

[@RandyMulchin]

The background is so shaky I can’t watch

[@ricklanglois]

The entire video is out of focus! When that happens you should remake the video - not just upload the out of focus junk.

[@randybelone9208]

Confusing......

[@dh9k]

man try to focus next time
