That was amazing ,and it made me realize theres not enough time in my life to learn and master everything I want to do

I'm going to have to watch that a second time to make sure I learn everything.

Awesome! Now you need to produce a Chest Becket kit too!

Very, very nice. Thank you.

Wooooo hooooo! Another great video!

Impresionante Mikko!

I got lost right about the point he closed the book cover.

Beautiful

Forgot to say, I will post this on igkt-solent.co.uk/ as agreed with Ken.

Where do you buy your blonde de-waxed shellac flakes from?

Was that just more hemp twine you used for the puddening or some other kind of yarn?

Any type of natural fiber twine will do.

I'm really looking forward to the coachwhipping part of the tutorial. I can never get it to look right.

Hi Thanks for the video. How do you know how long to cut the cord for the crown sennit between the eye and the coachwhipping.

@mikkosnellman

2 жыл бұрын

You´ll know exactly only by trying but approx 6 times the length of crowning.

God that's beautiful

What's this whipping called at 0:47+ seconds in the video?

Is that preservative you used some kind of closely guarded family secret or can you share?

Of course. It is a traditional way for sealing. Just 1/3 dewaxed shellac diluted in ethanol.

00:36 what knot is that?

Do you sell these?

Yes, I sell DIY kits that include everything for one becket. Ready made beckets only to order.

Again, I wish you could pause and break down some of the important steps. I find knowing the length of certain strands and which type of line you are using would be helpful.Thanks

A chest becket is a handle in sailors chest. It is the most iconic piece of sailors ropework.

Thanks, it turned out a little short due to some flex in my jig and it's a little too fat in the middle but still a fun project.

Good G-d!

Beautiful work indeed. However, unable to enjoy the video, due in part to the speed of video, caused some nausea, hyper sensitive to quick movement. Secondly, wasn’t able to take in and enjoy the process ! Again, beautiful work !
