Love this, thanks Tom, great tutorial as always - as an alternative, I left my cord a little longer and pushed the ends down through the middle to the bottom, cut, then pushed them back in to hide them ;-)

[@isabellegauthier1254]

Awesome, I just found your channel, this is great, well explained too. Thank you so much😁🌞

[@kjschaefer5179]

Very well done, everything is clear, the speed is neither too fast nor too slow! And I like the moves you showed, and the combinations of the elements, as the braiding and the knotting itself was not new to me.

[@cretanseagull]

Greet job sir

[@seandodds2276]

Basic straight fender 6 strand.

[@kensmith8832]

This is called a lanyard braid. I have been working with this braid for more than 45 years and I have never seen anyone take this approach to tying the knots. There is a hard way and this is it.

[@monstertrucktennis]

Do tell

[@nssdesigns]

so I guess this can be scaled up to make a proper fender for a boat with manilla rope. If you need a thicker fender then simply add some bulk to the inside of the centre?

[@thedevilsbox]

Nice!

[@1anya7d]

from 5:32, isn't that a hexagon stitch but going at the opposite direction, going backward?

[@seandodds2276]

straight fender

[@TheMaxvobiscum]

Ho, where Is possibile find needle with thread for 3 mm diametro lanyards? Thanks a lot

[@lesliebehringer2372]

I followed this, but was all the way at the end of my paracord and waiting to see how you finished it off before I realized you had weaved the fender back over the braid. That really wasn't clear to me until the end.

[@user-yc7to3qj6k]

How to make like this? If it have 4 colors and have 8 layer of string

[@TheMaxvobiscum]

Is It possibile ti run It with Onlus One head? Should It Always be 4 feet and the diameter? Thanks

[@MPam1619]

This reminds me of gimp!

[@mermaidboy89]

Wich kind of rope do you use?

[@dbrew91028]

can you please let me know what "brand" of paracord you use? Mine seems flimsy compared to yours. Thank you.

[@adrianmyrick3363]

You sell these?

[@rifkiabderahim3272]

hy how we do the bigesst won thi white won in the video ? plz

[@WhyKnot]

Its the same as the colored one. Just use one color.

[@rifkiabderahim3272]

tankhs

[@rifkiabderahim3272]

but why hi is so big than the colored one ?

[@WhyKnot]

It is the same width. it is just longer. I started out with longer cord for the white one.

Good #sumanhandicraft

[@dimomilev4651]

Very complicated way of knitting this knit, there is an easier way for her!

[@en4ce_]

is it only me seeing the "blue" as "green"?

[@iketau]

Ok, each cord is 4feet long

[@TheBill9999]

This is so so annoying. it looks so easy to do I bought the rope and the fid and now I find it too hard to do. I'm trying to do it with the same colour rope that might be the problem. will have to get some different colours to make it easier. pulling my hair out here.

[@adamskead8859]

TheBill9999 tying knots aren't easy I finally tied a heart knot and it was hard trynna get everything perfect

[@TheBill9999]

Definitely is adam but will keep trying. you mate awesome videos by the way.

[@archermcflatty8706]

try something a little easier first

[@arianna8859]

TheBill9999 I totally agree!

[@christianbreeze7448]

If using one colour. Get some whitr decorators tape n mark each end with a number or felt tip a colour. You'll do it. Dont try anything easier if your heart set on this. Learn your basic sailing knots n you can do this. Remember scoobies.... my 11year can do it with frustration but patience. And Stop n pause of video. Youll do it.

[@MonteTurner]

Do you have Facebook or instagram page?

[@WhyKnot]

No I don't unfortunately.
