I enjoy your videos. Easy to follow and with good instructions. Keep it tight!

[@KnottingKnots]

Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. I assume you are more of a decorative knotter?

[@Cous1nJack]

Constrictor knot. Clove hitch with a tuck under. Nothing difficult can done in the bight more easily. Fibres> yarns> strands> rope> cable Nicely done demo and neat finish.

[@shaundawson5639]

I’m going to give this a go at the weekend

[@jameshaggarty1623]

Love this tutorial. I did a couple of these in 1/4 in sisal. I added a THK to help stiffen I also dipped the handle and knots in a 50/50 solution of Elmers glue and water while leaving the bristles dry. Very pleased with the result, the water/glue on the handle made it into a nice useable gift.

[@KnottingKnots]

Yes, I too love using the glue mix, I also use it on my hats as waterproofing.

[@jameshaggarty1623]

@@KnottingKnots : what mix do you use for waterproofing. I've found that glue: water from 1:4 to 1:1 will work, but the 1:1 makes it rock hard once it dries.

[@KnottingKnots]

@@jameshaggarty1623 I messed about with it years ago and found 50/50 to be good for my needs. With my hats I have only coated the outside. This way the inner fabric stays much softer, the outside is a little rougher to the touch.

Thank you Johnny Debt! I was tying the Matthew Walker knot a little wrong. I will be tying a few of these brushes myself.

[@d.m.8175]

I think the type of line you used may have made the final product a bit flimsy, but well done! I really enjoyed the video! I wonder if there is a stiffener agent, or glue, or something along those lines that could stiffen up the brush section? Love the fancy work!

[@KnottingKnots]

There are some ropes that are made from quite stiff course fibres, they were often used to scrub decks etc. Yes, what I used was quite soft, but I just wanted to demonstrate the process. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

[@mvanikumari1264]

Very nice and easy to do.thank you very much for sharing.

[@angiedj62]

That's the best Mathew Walker demo I've seen yet. I'll be trying this with paracord first and once I get it together, I'll buy rope so I can create a nice little broom for my keyboard

[@KnottingKnots]

At first the MW is rather tricky when you first start, then all of a sudden it falls into place. If you can, before you buy your rope, unravel it a bit to see if it is right for the job and to work with. You will be amazed on how horrible or nice some ropes are when unravelled. Even better, keep a knife on you and when out and about if you find some old rope cut off a length. I sometimes find old rope beach combing.

[@KnottingKnots]

Just to add, here is a multi coloured one that I did, some people prefer this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKrPfKtshbpkq5o

[@angiedj62]

Oh, i also didn't see the rope length at the end of the video. Maybe I just overlooked it. Can you tell me the length?

[@angiedj62]

Thanks. I remember seeing old rope around my brother's house but i think it's the coarse type. I'll check today at the hardware while I'm out. Thanks for your informative videos.

[@kevinsluder3711]

Great video! Your video gave me the breakthrough I needed on tying the Matthew Walker! Thanks.

[@shaundawson1389]

Great video but as a beginner what is the length of rope is use please

[@Bear-Ur2ez]

I can appreciate this knot. Very useful! Thank you for sharing this.

[@KnottingKnots]

Always a pleasure Bear, you going to make one?

[@wwhiting007]

Thanks this was a wonderful sChallenge and learning, experience for me but I did it had to restart several times.

[@dcm727]

Great job. I think that's going to be my next project. Thanks Johnny!

[@KnottingKnots]

Would love to see it when you have finished. Don't forget that it can be tied with a single of double footrope knot, or lanyard knot.

[@jjjvclub]

Awesome project to try, thanks for sharing

[@KnottingKnots]

Thanks for commenting Jerry. Works well with a single or double footrope.

[@stefanf922]

I'd like to see you do a knife sharpening video, your blade is awesome.

[@KnottingKnots]

I am not sure that I have mastered that dark art yet. The Myerchin is a wonderful knife. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@ambiguoussoul1246]

Always love watching your videos...planning on making smaller sizes for swabbing on gun and tool oil.

[@KnottingKnots]

Thanks Jo, Sisal works great if you have a pillar drill and you want to sweep away the swarf. Please do let me see them when you have done it? You can drop a photo here: goo.gl/mQgf8E

[@HrafnNordhri]

Curious that you are re-making videos you've already done. Thanks for this though as you share a different method in the other one.

[@KnottingKnots]

Yes, I always um and ah as to whether or not I should. But like you say, it is a different method. Also I did not like the other one as the rope was too dark for filming. You never know I may do another with another different knot?? ;-) Thank you again for watching and leaving a comment.

[@HrafnNordhri]

Johnny Debt would you consider a video to discuss types of cordage you use and perhaps show examples of projects made with said cordage?

[@KnottingKnots]

I think that may be a good idea. The trouble is that I am very biased towards natural cordage, for some people this can be very hard to get hold of, even very expensive. I will put some thought into it, thanks for giving me the idea.

[@HrafnNordhri]

Johnny Debt don't let that bother you. Many new knotheads are into paracord because they don't know what is out there. Some avoid natural fiber because they don't understand it.

[@nssdesigns]

Nice little project to try. I'll try and get my hands on some manila rope to make a stiffer version. Feedback: try and stop repeating yourself... you said at 12 minutes "pull them up, tease them, gently pull them through, pull them up, pulling them up, keep pulling...pull them up"... love your enthusiasm and enjoy your videos. LIKED and SUBSCRIBED so keep up the good work just less repetition :-)

[@KnottingKnots]

Cheers for the feedback, I sometimes fell has though I need to fill the void of silence. It is a never ending learning curve this video malarkey. They make excellent presents, also if you use old rope add a tag to say what vessel etc the rope came from.

[@nssdesigns]

All in the best possible taste... love your videos!

[@nssdesigns]

Just wait until I start my vblog (if I ever dare too)... so it's easy for me to talk... nice little video piece. I enjoy these videos more then lets say the knot tying sheep shanks and loops... just personal preference.

[@frostbite8572]

Sorry for being late with the comment but anyways this vid is really cool one day I may make one and how are you Also I'm putting reminders in my calendar to make vids every other sat could you give me some ideas plz and the snake knot will be first don't worry

[@KnottingKnots]

Oh mate, I struggle for ideas myself. One thing I do is watch other videos and look to see what is wrong with them, I then try to do a better video for my viewers.

[@frostbite8572]

Johnny Debt ok cool I'll see what I come up with

[@cidasantos9909]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@michaelmartinez5217]

Hahaha when I seen the name an pic, I assumed it was for lathering up before shaving...lol

[@polianathes]

love

[@KnottingKnots]

Me or the knot? 😉

[@danbywater6333]

Neat

[@KnottingKnots]

Have you made one yet? 😉

[@danbywater6333]

Johnny Debt yes

[@danbywater6333]

Johnny Debt mine is nylon rope not as nice as what you made

[@KnottingKnots]

I find that the courser of the rope, the better it is for cleaning pots and pans. This is one big problem with the hobby, lovely cordage does cost!

[@bammbamm12]

26 minutes? To tie a bloody knot? Cheers.

[@KnottingKnots]

You are the master of your own keyboard, you can mute or play at 2x speed to ease your pain 😉 😉 😉

[@dtpostel]

Great job, but you TOOOOOOO much.

[@KnottingKnots]

Great job, but you write tooooooo little?? Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
