I have to sometimes wonder why people write to me in a foreign language? Please refer to Google translate prior to posting! ;-)

[@KnottingKnots]

I have never really tried more, but I would have thought you get to a point where there is an issue. The more bights then the larger the central hole? Also the more bights the tighter the radius on the inner bights? Mmm, must give it a go.

[@KnottingKnots]

Always a pleasure. Thanks for leaving a comment, they mean a lot to me (well, the nice ones)

[@nssdesigns]

how do you add more bites and leads? Yes I've watched Mikko's sailer tied video but your's is a bit different with the the overlap on the back of the hand...

[@KnottingKnots]

I personally have the Turks Head Cookbook and there is also a Turks Head book by Tom Hall. Both these books are bloody hard to get hold of!! However, you being a bit of a craftsman, could make the jig shown in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZWkiamwe8mAbqs Then you could use the the grid maker on this page: freakinsweetapps.com/knots/knotgrid/ or the advanced grid maker on this page: freakinsweetapps.com/knots/knotgrid/advanced.html

I made one of these once from cordage I created from palm fibers. I used it as a coaster for coffee cups. I had no idea that it was a turks head type of knot.

[@KnottingKnots]

Make some more Mike! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

[@frostbite8572]

very very good vid it was awesome

[@KnottingKnots]

Cheers for that. I found this one difficult to keep it short. I just thought it would be quick and easy, but that is never the case.

[@frostbite8572]

It's cool tho it was still very good

[@frostbite8572]

I have a question for you um could you mention me in your next vid plz

[@KnottingKnots]

I have a few videos already done, so would not be able to mention immediately. But I could add a card or end-screen that links to your channel or site?

[@frostbite8572]

Thanks, Great Job, really appreciate it. bob

[@KnottingKnots]

Hello Bob, thanks for popping over and watching, also for leaving a comment. Are you a sailor, knotter or something else?

[@bobsac10]

Hi Johnny, Used to sail 43 years ago and enjoyed knotting. Now retired and doing travel trailer camping and it would be nice to do while at campsite. Made my wife a turks head key chain that she still uses for the last 40 years, still looks good. You have a great teaching gift and look forward to trying my hand at it again. Thanks- bob

[@KnottingKnots]

A lot has changed in the world of rope since you were sailing. I personally am a traditional knotter, because I love to use natural cordage for my knotting. The trouble is that it is so hard to find good stuff these days. I would like to think now, no matter where you go, you will have a piece of cord in your pocket to practice with! Send me a photo of anything you produce.

[@stellarojas6699]

Very nice

[@KnottingKnots]

Hey, Stella, thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. I assume that you are a decorative knotter?

[@neilwaters1151]

is it a giant woggle?

[@KnottingKnots]

Just think of the poor boy scout wearing it. It is a drip catcher for my champagne lifestyle! Good of you to come over and leave a comment. What is your knotting interest?

[@neilwaters1151]

done bracelets in paracord, learning stuff,did a walking stick full moku to double strand half hitch,3 rounds turks head at top and a double at bottom.would find it helpful to know the type of rope ect that you use also turks head covering the ends of stuff. thinking of doing plumbers white pipe with end caps, but all covered. been tuned in since Christmas

[@KnottingKnots]

Good for you mate, this hobby can be rather addictive! The thing that always amazes me is the mess that I can make, I am only using cord. With regards to my cords, I generally tie the really good stuff with natural cordage, such as, polished hemp or hard lay cotton. The trouble is that here in the UK it is so difficult to get hold of. Where are you based?

[@nssdesigns]

Can you make a mat using more bites?

[@unclerojelio6320]

If haven't to buy rope like that, what would I search for?

[@KnottingKnots]

To be honest with you, I never buy new rope. I always look on eBay, or go to car-boot sales and buy anything that catches my eye. Which country are you currently in, as I may be able to help you?

[@unclerojelio6320]

I'm in the states. Mostly what I find is cheap manila or sisal. I have yet to find a source of smooth, hard laid rope like you have there.

[@KnottingKnots]

Are you by any chance on Facebook? If you are make yourself known to me and I will link you up with some groups that should be able to help. I personally find that the hardest thing of all is finding good rope. When I find some I am very reluctant to use it! Here is my FB page: facebook.com/john.peart.798

[@unclerojelio6320]

I've never got bitten by the Facebook bug. I have a couple of great sources for good hard-laid cotton small stuff (up to about 3/16" or 4.5mm) but I have trouble finding larger rope. I'll keep an eye out on eBay. Thanks.

[@shellygalligan4896]

Johnny Debt I would like to be linked up with some groups for finding rope!
