This is such a good video. Everything is so clear. Now, I have confidence to attempt my first grommet! I'm a total beginner. Very relaxing music too. I think I could sit under a tree somewhere making grommets in my old age perhaps!

[@SnowHunter44]

Don't forget to bring a pipe along! I think I'll join you.

[@franshessels2205]

Didn't know it was called a grommet. Found your video and followed you step by step. Now the first grommet runs around the oar I've made. Thank you so much for this tutorial.👏🤜

[@russelllitterell2311]

I wanna see the oar. That seems pretty cool.

Was thinking of the Spanish ring knot as I was watching. Love that you don't speak and it's still understandable.

[@josephlai9759]

A ring of truth, a circle of life, you weave words of a journeyman for all of us, life takes another turn, just another lesson learned, times fingers bled, yet time harden not the soft creature within the skin, life remains beautiful, for all the knots we tie. Thank you for the inspiration.

Thank you for the poem!

[@willienolegs8928]

Best example of a worked hole I’ve ever seen. You’re outstanding.

[@oldkins]

Your videos make it easy to follow what you are doing, make it quicker to learn. Excellent.

[@plemas]

AHHHGH ... three attempts, three fails, I can't get my head around this one. As always you make it look so easy. Even as I fail, I enjoy watching you work.

[@mikkosnellman]

Just get the start right, then you are actually just splicing over two, under two :)

[@plemas]

I thought I did get the start right but I ran out of cord on my second circuit. I still had plenty at the other end but couldn't figure out how to do the reverse direction. I know it should be simple but it looked like a mess. I might also try coffee stain as I think i was getting the original strands and the splicing strands confused.

[@plemas]

mark me up for another fail, i've lost count

[@unclerojelio6320]

I was finally able to complete one of these after several attempts. It looks deceptively simple. Now I can't stop making them! Awesome video!

[@dauphcamp3904]

My God the music in this video is beautiful!

[@belinhafernandes]

Your videos are wonderful! I also checked your site and enjoyed reading about your passion for sea and hand work. I will try to learn a little! I am Portuguese, also fond of the sea and sea life, ships and coastal way of life. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge!

[@mikkosnellman]

Thank you for your feedback. Welcome aboard!

[@st006]

Wow! I love it! Four dimensional! Thanks for sharing your skills!

[@csjmoore]

Great video! Thanks for all your work. Cheers

[@donbritt1963]

I think he has done this before. Great job easy to follow. Just what I need.

[@kerravonsen2810]

That is so cool. Another one to add to my to-do list.

[@dcm727]

Beautiful to watch. Thank you.

[@dcm727]

This is insane. I tried it at least 15-20 times. Can’t come close. You’re a master.

[@kaparuasapo1144]

It's rare for me to find a knot or tie that I'm unfamiliar with and this one is simply amazing. From the method used to the final result this is a simply phenomenal piece. I've found it works with any equal number of turns on the first pass. When tightened up, it's rock solid and can serve for a multitude of purposes. It's a tool in itself. It took me forever to get the hang of, but once you do it's a breeze. If anyone is having trouble with it, using two colors will help immensely. Thanks so much for this brilliant knot. I've gone through ABOK several times and have never found this one.

[@mikkosnellman]

I believe it was first developed as a gasket.

[@kaparuasapo1144]

mikko snellman You're a true artist. I make a lot of dog collars, leashes, etc., and I can't begin to tell you how many possibilities this knot has provided me. Thanks so much my friend, all of your pieces are awesome.

[@MrNess2911]

Amazing job! Nice music! Thank you very much!

[@jackterpack1387]

Another great project. Thanks.

[@romandybala]

8 plait is my favorite . I have done it in steel as well. The look of it that is. As a grommet it looks fantastic.I used to wonder if it was possible as single strand . Now I know.

[@mikkosnellman]

Everything is possible, impossible just takes more time ;)

[@assuncaoresende7123]

Sensacional Niterói ,Brasil 👏👏👏🌹🌺💐🌸🌹🌻👏

[@eugenematison5571]

Was impressed! Made twice. Thank you! It seems not "any number of turns" lead to shown result. Both times got Möbius loop.

[@dominictaylor6265]

Has to be even no. of turns

[@assuncaoresende7123]

Espetacular ! Mãos abençoadas.Parabéns, pela habilidade. Niterói, Brasil. 👏👏👏💐🌸🌹🌻🌻💐👏👏👏👏👏

[@sergioencisogomez8660]

Y cómo se teje la de color verde?? . La he visto como símbolo celta, o algo parecido

[@mikkosnellman]

Just start with trefoil knot.

[@MsWilven]

realv great job

[@davidpaul9365]

Great tutorial, great finished Item, I know a lady who would like one for a bracelet, May I ask , what cord is it you are using, I've asked around and can find nothing like it.

[@mikkosnellman]

Thank you for the feedback. The cords I use are my own product. Hard laid cotton. If you are interested please check: www.snellman.ax

[@guerillagrace]

Will there be/is there a video on making the green 3D triangle? 😃🤩😁 Pls

[@mikkosnellman]

It is the same. Instead of loop, you just start with trefoil knot.

[@guerillagrace]

@@mikkosnellman Right...😰🤔🤓 That makes sense Thank you 🌻🍇🦋 I will try
