How to Tie a Hooked Bight Rock Wrap by JD Lenzen (TIAT)

[@nancywilson4910]

Hi JD. Wanted to tell you that learning to tie rocks has made me one very happy camper! Thank you for making theses videos!

[@pusigneu]

Your tutorials are so clear and easy to follow. I'm hooked!

[@cookieburns9959]

I absolutely love all of your work. I'm a beginner tying it all together. I look forward to the challenging wraps.

[@near1075]

I am going to try this. You do such a good job of giving clear directions. Thanks.

[@matt2matt2002]

Just made it. It took me 3 goes and I had to use a water bottle since the rocks I had were slightly conical , and the cord kept slipping off. With the wtaer bottle the sides were 'straight'/parallel. Can't wait to find some better rocks and try it again. Instructions were straight forward - if only I had payed attention more!!. Thanks again - from Scotland UK.

[@TyingItAllTogether]

Thank you so much! Keep at it, it take a bit of practice, but the results are rewarding! :-)

[@dannetteburton6744]

Loved it ! I'm surprised at how complex the finished product looks - then you walk us through the "how to" steps. My reaction 🤦‍♀️ that's how it's done! LoL - Thank you JD 😊

[@TyingItAllTogether]

Know is half the battle 😉🌿

[@dannetteburton6744]

Indeed 😁

Just watched this great video.the question is,Wondering what its uses are.

[@TyingItAllTogether]

@@johnwatson4920 The tie has a multitude of functional uses (adding grip to a handle, assisting in connecting an arrowhead or an ax to a handle, slide the piece out of the rock and it becomes the base for a pair of sandals). Still, I primarily how the rock ties as a means of learning innovative tying techniques and making something artistically appealing (like a painting or a poem).

Beautiful!

[@DanielQuasar]

Awesome job, JD! Sorry I missed the premiere but great work as always. ^_^

[@TyingItAllTogether]

Thank you. I premiere each week. See you next :-) 🌿

[@dssouthern]

Very beautiful! One of these days I'm going to try these

[@TyingItAllTogether]

Right on! They feel amazing to make.

[@dssouthern]

@@TyingItAllTogether I have rocks. I just need to get the leather lace.

[@TyingItAllTogether]

ds southern Always remember...you can use any cord you have. I even use sea weed.

[@dssouthern]

@@TyingItAllTogether well, we don't have any seaweed in michigan. Will these designs work with jute twine?

[@TyingItAllTogether]

ds southern Absolutely, jute, hemp, or another other natural (or synthetic) cord or rope will work. The ties are stable...regardless of the cord or rope used 🌿

Thank you so much ❤️

Thanks for sharing, JD! :)

Thanks, David 🌿

Fantastic

Great video instruction, thank you. I made a little mini version, it looks great! I love it.

[@aidenmisnuner2327]

Love it. Will try it.

[@TyingItAllTogether]

Wait until you see and feel it...the tie is super rewarding 🌿

[@budjiman1]

Very cool!

[@TyingItAllTogether]

Thank you, so much 🌿

[@deannat.3121]

These are really wonderful, and you do such a great job of explaining what to do! I watched this video, pulled out some craft supplies and completed this knot on the first try. Would you be willing to do some of the more advanced knots, like with 2 different cords or with rocks and sticks together?

[@JennyLigon]

I would like to get o e of your booklets . Which one is best for a senior beginner rock wrapper?

[@ramonaray4225]

Do you have a rock wrapping book?

[@larrynowicki1104]

Can you use this to attach the rock to a stick? How?

[@TyingItAllTogether]

I would use one of my other ties to connect a stone to a stick (see the TIAT Community page for a hammer example). This would better be used beneath a notched and set stone hammer or spear to keep the notch stabilized or not spread 🌿

[@TyingItAllTogether]

I will eventually, soon, show you how to make a hammer or spear...just need to collect the natural materials. Which I plan to do, tomorrow 🌿

[@larrynowicki1104]

@@TyingItAllTogether Would you like me to forge a blade that you could tie a paracord handle on which could be untied and used to tie the knife to a spear

[@buzzsah]

good vid, nice wrap.

[@TyingItAllTogether]

Thanks!

[@andreaantunes1435]

Can you please tell me what material (rope) you used?

[@susanlauzac2324]

Were you using 1mm or 2mm cord from the Amazon link you provided? Thank you!

[@Undeercover]

Thank you very much

[@brookecunningham5214]

Thank you, I love this. Going to try tying my first rock today!

[@jinphillips6044]

What size cord are you using in your demo vids? Thx man!

[@ohyeayea6692]

It would be so cool if these could be adapted to wear around your wrist ... but just thinking about how to do this is giving me hives.

[@DocRorshack]

Do you ever wet the leather first? I imagine it would aid in the permanence of the decorative knots on rocks...Great video as always!

[@TyingItAllTogether]

Not so much the leather. I only show ties that are inherently stable with leather, without a need for material shrinkage. I do, however work with other natural fibers (kelp, willow, bark, etc.). Tying with those materials wet, then letting them dry tight...is very satisfying 🌿

[@DocRorshack]

I did some work in BoyScouts with wet leather in the scout craft or camp craft projects that had to last all summer at camp. I also seem to recall a tent pole repair project at one point...
