This is really lovely. What a gift to have an older generation gentleman friend take the time to share his craft with you. And an even greater gift is you, a younger generation, giving him your time to him to learn it. This made me very emotional. We really don't give our time to older generations to listen and learn from them. And so much knowledge is waisted. Not to mention the quality of time spent together building a tight bond. I feel doing these type of crafts are like therapy. And everything from a stressful day goes away for a while because all of your attention is focused on one task. And then the pride we feel when we are finished is so rewarding. Thank you for sharing your video with us. And dedicating it to your Gentle Giant is heartwarming. I hope someone from the younger generation will take time to learn from you to carry on this beautiful skill. Best wishes to you and yours.

I used this very useful technique on a needle case so thank you for this new way. Maybe obvious to people but I was doing a zigzag design and when a direction change comes it doesn’t work ( as far as I could see) so I had to finish with a needle-the normal way. But for one direction stuff it’s great. Faster but a bit more cerebral I mean I had to focus more. A big advantage is no wear on the thread as with a needle. Hope this saves someone from trying it with zigzag! Thanks Mikko and for all the other videos you do.

what a sweet talented man your gentle giant Ben was. Its amazing that he works through your hands now. Thanks so much and beautifully done.

What a beautiful legacy for Ben to leave the World of Crafting. Thank you for showing us.

The pattern of wrapping the bottle without using the needle and especially increasing the loops wherever necessary is very very beautiful and useful also.thanks a lot again and again for sharing such a beautiful pattern.

Tis a wonderfully remarkable technique! Thank you for sharing your friend Ben's legacy!

Thank you Mikko for videoing this record of a true master. May he Rest In Peace

My friends anniversary is coming up I’m going try this on a bottle of wine as a present for them. Your workmanship is outstanding

Master of golden hands. Taking off my hat.

I've been looking for instructions for a bottle hitch for some time. Thanks Mikko! I have a three liter bottle 300mm high, 220mm wide one way and 120mm wide the other. How much 5mm cord do you estimate? I want to do the bottom too. Peter Sea Bear

amazing

Exelente maestro he aprendido mucho de ti, lo más importante es que es un arte muy útil para la vida diaria ya que siempre nos estamos amarrando los zapatos, ajustándonos el cinturón y más. Me encantaría que pudiera colocar sustitutos en castellano para entender más. Gran abrazo desde Colombia 🇨🇴

Mikko, is there a way to calculate the amount of cord needed?

Not really, just keep book of your trial and error.

I love this, thank you for sharing. Can I ask a few questions? What thickness of cord is best to use and do you know roughly how long it needs to be? Thanks :)

@mikkosnellman

3 жыл бұрын

The thickness of cord is entirely up to you, it affects only to the appearance and the amount knots needed. Length is almost impossible to calculate since there are too many variables, make notes when you finish a project for future reference. If you are using twisted cord, it is good to learn how to splice so you can add new length if needed.

Such a nice show,am very impressed with this method, how would it work if you used a netting shuttle big enough to make hammocks with instead of leaving the material in a ball ?

It is very difficult with so many variables, so I use a method of trial and error, keeping notes on prior projects. With time you learn to estimate the length needed.

For a smaller bottle, should anything be done differently?

Maybe just smaller cordage, otherwise the process is the same.
