Thank you. Your videos were the first i found and watched on stone carving. This binding is awesome, and another bone carver told me about this video. Thank you so much

[@CampbellCarving]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mikestarmack5981]

Your videos have been really helpful. On this one though, I used every name in the book to try to finish the lashing! Then I thought to use the same thing you do with making an adjustable necklace - use a pull out loop on the last 5-6 wraps. Works like a charm. I am once again a happy camper!

[@CampbellCarving]

Good one. I have used that too. Just be careful of reading things when you pull through as the lashing can get super tight. I have snapped cords and the actual penda t by messing this up.

[@susiestogsdill5075]

These videos are going to be so helpful to me. I've got bits of shells & seaglsss, and in my mind I'm wanting to wrap the seaglsss in leather somehow. I'm seeing it's really going to need to begin with a drilled hole, and perhaps some waxed cord as well. I actually bought & own two carved Maori pieces before finding you!! How cool to stumble upon your channel.

[@nickcox4343]

Mate. Another great video. This is exactly what I’m wanting to do.

[@CampbellCarving]

Awesome, thanks for the support. I hope it all works out well for ya.

[@katherinenoggle6407]

I'm thinking of using your lashing techniques on some glass jewelry I'm making, so I'm finding your lashing videos really helpful! I make rosaries for donating to hospitals, etc, and the Sister who taught me used a dental floss threader to pull the cord thru holes. Dental floss threaders are basically fishing line sealed to form a large eye at the end for dental floss to fit thru, which you then thread thru your dental work. They work FANTASTIC for any size cord to fit thru any size hole. They'd work really well to pull the thread up thru your loose loops at the end here as well. You might find them really useful and you get a pkg of like 20 for just a few dollars. Thanks for the videos!!

[@CampbellCarving]

Good idea, I'll look into that.

[@taylahenry5740]

kiaora bro a good trick i like to use when the ends go fluffy is put a bit of sello tape on the end of them to hold together, thank you so much for this video 🙏🏽💙

[@CampbellCarving]

Mean trick thanks will give it a go

[@tekiatomorehu8385]

I know you do pounamu....but are you able to show a process of binding together 2 boar tusks for a necklace plz

[@CampbellCarving]

That would be an interesting project. I have not seen or thought about that process sorry, will keep it in mind if it is something I come across.

[@CampbellCarving]

Awesome

[@CampbellCarving]

My pleasure

[@jprdy1]

Superb video, I learned tons. Just thinking for the end bit of securing the whole lashing, maybe use a huge darning needle or even make a wooden needle to make it easier and quicker to go through the loose knots.........

[@CampbellCarving]

Cheers mate, good idea for the end I'll have to give it a go.

[@theheartofthebackcountry9489]

Awesome work man, thanks for sharing!

[@CampbellCarving]

Thanks your welcome

[@kevinorr6880]

You could use a small wire fid to draw the end under all those wraps at the end.

[@CampbellCarving]

Good idea, might try that. Cheers

[@jaenaidanthompson4808]

Kia Ora I’ve been following you awhile now are you still living in Christchurch

[@wildsurvivalskills]

Thanks again great video

[@CampbellCarving]

No problem

[@autismpointofview4031]

I've watched many of your videos and learned how to tie a whipping, bind a Toki. Not to mention carving. I made my first Hei Toki. I made it from Washington State nephrite jade. I live in Washington. I'm now making earrings and a teardrop pendant. I have mapped out on a slab, a Matau fishhook. I wish I could send you a few pics. I have my ideas of how to do things and I use different tools than you. However as for these pieces. My first pieces. You are a my greatest influence. You made it seem easy enough to do. I really wish I could show you some pics of what you helped me make. Thank you.

[@CampbellCarving]

Awesome to hear, thanks for your feedback. You can contact me through my website. Campbellcarving.co.nz I would love to see what your working on.

[@doddydevrian2421]

Thanks for sharing

[@yoopermann7942]

where do you buy your string and those sets of dremel bits? this is great! thank you for the tips and info, now i know what i been doing wrong

[@CampbellCarving]

I get my cord from Caudwell.co.nz. And you can try richon tools for the burrs they are a good place to start. Cedar industries has good stuff too.

[@jaenaidanthompson4808]

I’m living in Christchurch and would love to visit

[@williamvandenbrink6230]

Hi my name is William I used to live in Christchurch a long time ago on trafalgar street , nice country and nice people .

[@96708kanaka]

Another great video, keepʻem coming.

[@CampbellCarving]

Awesome thanks for the tautoko, support

[@KiwieeiwiK]

Great video, really clear to follow something so fiddly. What do you think is the minimum required left/right knots to secure this lashing? I have a natural teardrop shape piece that has a notch near the top for a hole that i fear is too close to the top to get enough knots over to secure this. Or do you think a different kind of lashing would work better? Cheers bro!

[@CampbellCarving]

You could do it with 5 I reckon. You could send me a message with some photos of your pendant if you want, need to see it to say what I reckon. Contact me here campbellcarving.co.nz

[@joshuatownsend6289]

Chur brother looks 👌, do you have any tips or tricks for lashing a boar tusk.thwnkyou

[@CampbellCarving]

Not something I have ever done sorry.

[@DavidTawhaiB]

Kia ora Campbell thanks so much for your guidance and sharing I'm crafting such a taonga for my wife's 60th. I have noted this on the Nautilus website but which 8 braid do you use I don't see coreless? PS: Just about finished my creation of stone cutting table based on your advice I'll share when done, found an old tanner spindle thingy. Thanks again. Code Size/Diameter PFS-25 1.8mm PFS-45 2.4mm PFS-60 2.8mm PFS-105 3.8mm PFS-120 4.1mm P = Polyester N = Nylon F = 16 Braid H = 8 braid S = Standard Core (non-braided) (PHS) F = Braided Core (PFF)

[@CampbellCarving]

Whenever I have bought it I emailed them direct to see if it was in stock. I think they may make it to order. Tell them what it's for and they should know what your talking about. On the invoice it was called 2E-8 braid black. I could sell you some if you just want it for one taonga as a back up? Or use the 1mm waxed plaited.

[@DavidTawhaiB]

@@CampbellCarving Kia ora e hoa. Look I plan to make more for my whānau katoa as I move on past 62 haha. May even do a few specialised for other people not sure at this stage. I'll try them first and get back to you if any problems many thanks for the offer.

[@DavidTawhaiB]

@@CampbellCarving On second thoughts e hoa I might buy some off you in the first instance to at least cover my wife's taonga if that's okay I'll pay for postage etc.

[@CampbellCarving]

@@DavidTawhaiB contact me through my website campbellcarving.co.nz we can sort it there.

[@darrengosling2465]

Hi. The lashing is called a knotted ridge lashing

[@CampbellCarving]

Cool I like that, thanks.

[@NewZealandRocksDownunder]

Is there any significance of placing the knots down the side of the pendant as opposed to down the front? Love your vids certainly helps me gain a better skill set. Nga mihi

[@CampbellCarving]

No. It worked out this way unintentionally, as I had the hole drilled through from the side and i followed that line without thinking when doing the knots. And of course the front or side is subjective sometimes too.

[@NewZealandRocksDownunder]

@@CampbellCarving thanks, if there were protocols it would be good to follow them.

[@fulmaris33]

As with your other video demonstrating the toki lashing method, your hands are often out of shot at crucial moments in the demo. Maybe consider reshooting the toki video as a very quick but clearly visible process. For instance when you start

[@CampbellCarving]

Thanks for writing this, I may have ago at shooting the process again.

[@autismpointofview4031]

Question. When you are doing the last wraps loosely so you can hide the end. Could you do it over a pull cord like on the back of the Toki? So you could pull the end through with that? Or is it too complicated and just easier to run it under the loose wraps at the end? Thank you.

[@CampbellCarving]

You could definitly do it that way, but kind of defeats the purpose I think, you can just use a pull cord earlier or at any time and not need to muck around with the tricky loose wraps. If that makes sense.

[@autismpointofview4031]

@@CampbellCarving ok I see. Thank you for your help.

Where u get ya wax cord reels mate

Does the braid have to be Black?

[@CampbellCarving]

Not at all. Colour is personal preference. Traditionally it was done with muka which is often made from Harakeke/flax fibres.

[@hadishatarah2114]

hello, what kind of cord do you use or where can i buy it from please?

[@CampbellCarving]

I use 1mm waxed polyester. I get it from caudwells. Co. Nz. Good luck

[@hadishatarah2114]

@@CampbellCarving thank you

[@johnyalowica8423]

Whats the name of the cord you are using?

[@CampbellCarving]

Zircon. Waxed polyester braid 1mm

[@samaelblack8107]

I've noticed you struggle with the necklace part of the cord tangling. I can't help but think a few wraps and a rubber band would tremendously improve your quality of time spent doing this beautiful work.

[@CampbellCarving]

Thanks for the tips! What do you mean about a few wraps and a rubber band?

[@samaelblack8107]

Coiling the strands you're not using, and securing them with a rubber band. It occurred to me that this could resolve a source of frustration, and make your work far more enjoyable. I really appreciate what you do, and your willingness to share. I hope this repays your kindness a bit.

[@mikesmith1598]

Actually bro that's pretty hard to follow

Have you seen the original, maybe easier to follow have a look on my channel, sorry if the quality is a bit poor
