My wife really likes the music you choose for your videos. I really appreciate the care you use in making sure every move is clearly shown. You ae a very good teacher. Thank you.

Excellent marlinspike seamanship skill and artistry work. Your legacy lives on through your teachings. Time flies by just watching your work. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! And just what I need for my pliers. Thank you so much for the lovely video and very clear instructions 😊

Perfect timing, I was just look at my sad little pliers thinking I needed new grips for them. Was going to buy a can of that rubber stuff but doung this instead, thank you!

The start of the wrap looks like the most confusing part, then it doesn't look so bad. Thanks Mikko, I've been looking for a good wrap for my wire snips.

Think the beginning as a turks head, not too difficult, I hope. Good luck!

Mikko, Thank you very much for teaching this beautiful job, I will do it for my tools at home. From South America, Chile, thanks again, you are very kind in sharing your gift with us.

Awesome as always! Thank you.

Rope Wizard strikes again! Thanks for another great tutorial... 🤝🏻

Excellent, and almost hypnotic to watch

Beautiful work Mikko.

Happy to see this hitching which I love. Glad to see you are still making new teaching video. Waiting to hear you are able to take orders again. I still need a Finnfid when all is well with you. Judy

Mikko, Howdy; another question. At the beginning you show measuring of the cord. You wrap a full length then double and add a bit of good luck (~6 inches). Is that for 1 handle or for both? I ask as you already have 1 handle wrapped at the beginning of the video. Thanks for all you do to help us.

@mikkosnellman

That is for one handle.

I know this video is older, but I’d be interested in how you have improved the cutters so they work so well? Do you have a video on these improvements? Or a discription somewhere? Thank you

Mikko, Howdy; Truly enjoy your How to videos, Question, perhaps 2, What is the block you use to Polish the cord made from? Also are you selling a Kit to do this with, cutters included? Checked your website and couldn't find them.

I have 2 tools with those rubber "ergonomic" (ergo, not worth a darn) handles, and both are loose. This is perfect. About the polisher...plywood? Melamine surface?

@@tomkenney5365 That is the idea. You need to wax or starch the cord for polishing anyways. I use wet spun yarn for cordage so the cord don´t have too much stray fibers to begin with.

Mikko, did you grind the back of those pliers flush, for a close cut or did you buy them like that?
