[@pincuscorcoran6677]

Thanx Good to see you’re sailors whisk I have tied a few too and Used retired climbers rope Is hard labour of love from start to finish & good medicine to make Takes time to slow down & make these gifted pieces. Thanx 4 sharing 💎🏝🦋

This is a great way of using up old rope! Please tell me what you make with old rope?

[@chrisjohnson6018]

If made from pretty white line, give it to the Mrs. To hang combs or a brush from, very nice.

[@KnottingKnots]

Yes, I have to say the rope I used would only make a good deck scrubber!!!

[@dankolar6066]

Nicely done. Suggestion: pruning shears. Thank you for the demo.

[@KnottingKnots]

This is the problem with knotting.... there is always another tool to add to the collection :-) Are you a knotter?

[@KnottingKnots]

Good for you Dan! Glad to hear that you are still doing it, knotting that is, not cigarettes.

[@frostbite8572]

this was another great video from u very good job

[@KnottingKnots]

Cheers mate, but what is going on with your movie career?

[@frostbite8572]

lol haven't got around to getting my app and I need to think of how to record it so it looks like yours like how it looks like a gopro on your head do you know what I mean

[@KnottingKnots]

It is hard enough trying to do all the work under the camera. The amount of times I forget and pull the work close to my chest to pull up out of camera shot. When people have a headset on, it looks horrible. If the dog farts, the camera is looking to see where the noise came from...... you know what I mean.

[@frostbite8572]

lol yea but if I do it like a normal video it looks all Backwoods and it just doesn't seem right but I geuss I can try it that way

[@rmpge]

Footrope knot: "First you crown and then you wall, tuck them up and that is all." The Diamond knot doesn't include the crown.

[@KnottingKnots]

This was or is, all very confusing to me. I have always known this way as being a footrope knot. Yet even some reputable books call it a diamond knot, this is why I mentioned it as such. The way that I have always tied the diamond knot is by starting with a Carrick bend. When I look at one of Des Pawson's books he show a crown then a wall and calls this the diamond knot. I remember before I even got that book I was tying the footrope and manrope knot and calling them that. I think I really ought to refer to ABoK more often. Trouble is I find it such a bind wading through all the pages and index. Anyway Roger, cheers for popping over and leaving a comment.

[@unclerojelio6320]

Johnny Debt No worries mate. I really enjoy your videos. Keep'em coming.

[@KnottingKnots]

I think what I will do is a video on the FR, MR and Diamond knot, I will also give you a shout-out. So look out for that one ;-)

[@unclerojelio6320]

Johnny Debt Awesome! Also, I've got an idea for a video about raising Turk's Head knots too if you are interested. I'll certainly never get around to making it.

[@KnottingKnots]

I am also your first sub, I wonder how many people will sub you, even though you have not done anything yet??? I would certainly like to hear about the TH.

STOP...STOP..STOP USE 3 COLORS AND WORK ON A DIFFERENT COLORED TABLE. THIS IS DIFFICULT TO SEE AND FOLLOW BECAUSE OF THE DARK COLORS ON DARK BACKGROUND. jmho seajay (I give you a 7 out of 10 on this one because of the Dark on Dark colors) cj

[@seajaycecil]

Also, In your Crown knot and your Wall knot, FIRST. STICK THE "FID" THRU THE STRANDS TO SHOW WHERE THE ROPE IS GOING TO GO THRU THE "EXISTING" STRANDS. I'm old and you need to be Very Explicit for us OLD PEOPLE. seajay the "Old Sailor Man" other than that, you are doin' pretty good, if you will use my advice... seajay

[@KnottingKnots]

Yes, this one was done a while ago, There was a previous comment about colour, but rest assured this will be redone with different colours!

[@KnottingKnots]

Well, as you are a senior Naval guy, I do take all your comments on board. Hopefully, the next time I call the hands to muster, my work will be better presented ;-)

Biggest, sloppiest, sailor's whisk I ever saw. And the shameless begging for a free knife left a bad taste in my mouth. I wont be back. And what I'm gonna do now is...
