Knob covering - ABOK

[@teddyboy5953]

Mikko, I love all your work, just some more than others this is one of them. My only regret is that I did not come across you sooner. Keep up the good work, it is very much apreciated.A cup of coffee a month is a small price for the hours of frustration you have saved me. Thank's again.

[@mikkosnellman]

Thank you for your kind words, cheers!

[@djecpamba]

Mikko- I seem to be an abysmal failure at tying knots on my hand so I tried to do this following Tom Halls video. It wasn’t until I watched your video that I truly understood the flow of the knot. I still tie on a mandrel but after 10+ attempts I can tie it, from memory, without pins or other crutches. My point: YOUR WAY of patient illustration, with a minimum of verbiage, is still among the best when it comes to teaching knot tying. Donald.

[@mikkosnellman]

Thanks or the encouragement Donald.

G'day from Australia mate. Absolutely loving your tutorials. My kids even know the sound of your voice coming from my office. 🇦🇺😉

Poor children! 😁

[@adamwhiteson6866]

Very nice. Enjoyed this demo a lot. It's no easy matter for an expert to patiently explain all the simple steps to a beginner. Planning to use it on a small fid in my kit. Thank you.

[@BBaxterSwank]

This was beautiful to watch. I am new to your channel and look forward to watching more episodes (old & new). Cheers.

[@cospittner3526]

Outstanding video - Thank you very much for sharing this content.

[@mikkosnellman]

Thank you for watching.

[@garycort7997]

Excellent. Interesting subject and clear presentation.

[@peternewton4869]

Thank you for your video. It took me a few tries to get it right but we’ll worth the effort. The ABON is a brilliant book but not always easy to understand.

[@colebishoff1533]

great video! love it. more instruction like this please ^^

[@plemas]

Beautiful as always. Thanks so much.

[@DarbukaDave]

Great work! I know it's quite in-depth, but I would love to see a video on fancy/pattern plaiting like what we see on that awesome red and green fid box!

[@mikkosnellman]

That is actually Cross Wrapped, not plaited. And it is a needle case...

[@DarbukaDave]

@@mikkosnellman That's even better! I have done a bit of handle plaiting for whips and whatnot, but I've never heard of this process. Thank you for the info, know that I know what it's called I am able to find some info and tutorials on the process. Seems like the kind of thing I could become obsessed with doing.

[@DarbukaDave]

For anyone else who might be looking, most of the videos I am finding are from custom fishing rod builders

[@reynaldohernandez6276]

Gracias ya aprendí este nudo me gusta este tipo de decoración.

[@dilsonrosario9730]

Very good ❤ ❤thank you very much

[@skidjumper]

Did I miss something or did you do TWO passes with the red cord, one on each side of the 3 bights?

[@mikkosnellman]

Yes, that is correct.

[@davidbondy8340]

I have had a couple of trial runs on this using paracord. I am expecting my new cherry wood fid today and want to cover the end with some hard-laid cotton cord using this technique. I would appreciate some tips on fairing and dressing the knot.

[@mikkosnellman]

Just make sure you have enough coverage and dress very carefully with several passes. This covering can be easily over tight.

[@davidbondy8340]

@@mikkosnellman - Thank you. Very good advice. I definitely over-tightened my first attempt which meant that the definition of the passes was lost. A very fine line and patience is the key I think.

[@sherifabouzeid2924]

Professionally done 👌

[@wesleylee4962]

Thanks, couldn't discover remedy for those annoying gaps when covering a "Knob Shape."

[@stevepottle4357]

Great video again 👍 what do you use to dip and seal the knot when it’s finished ?

[@mikkosnellman]

That is pure shellac.

[@dreamwarriors979]

The best way to make glob knots 🪢 is whit a glob knot mandrel !!! Look like a stick whit holes & pins, the pins you can place it in the holes gives different patterns & you can make lot of different glob knots !

[@raymondlilley8037]

I would love to have your Kringle mat jig and what size rope did you use in this video?

nice video! I was wandering how I would go about adding more leads to it so could cover a larger surface?

[@mikkosnellman]

There is a section in Ashleys about knob coverings.

[@apiletal]

Realmente precioso este trabajo.

[@Maker-G]

Excellent, inspirational and informative. I would like to ask you one question, if I may. It feels presumable that you dipped the knot in linseed oil. Is that a practice you follow for most of your knot work? It had never occurred to me and I find it very smart.

[@mikkosnellman]

That was shellac, not linseed oil. If the knotwork needs to be hard or protected, I often use shellac. Linseed oil grows mildew on cotton easily.

[@CallMeMrBenjaminNYC]

What did you dip the knot into?

I think, proper hard laid cord will ease up the process significantly. Thank you for another great Video.
