🎀 Covering Knots 🎀: kzread.info/head/PL7nysDkNnZHf8IAYWCPhfWLFA-RW7e2tH

Many thanks for the clear instructions and easy-to-follow video. I was able to create my first globe knot on the first try. And more importantly, I was able to remember the steps on the next day to make the knot again and add it to a key fob.

That is so good to hear, what will you now be using the Globe Knot on?

I had a braided key fob finished with a crown knot. I covered the crown knot with your version of the globe knot and turk's head between the fob and globe knot. It looks a lot better than it sounds in this description but I cannot add a photo. Anyway, once again, many thanks for creating this and the other videos. I'm nearly 70 so this is helping keep my hands and fingers supple and the old brain ticking over.

Lovely work, as usual. There's my project for the weekend. I don't hear naturally and it's such a big help that you have such a clear speaking voice.

Hey, totally cool. I am try to make a clear plastic globe knot around a faceted glass ball: 2” diameter. How do I size the knot up cover the ball? Great tip about not tugging but gently forming/tightening cords. I always tug and regret.

It's funny how you come up with stuff as I need it..... made a tiller extension and globe knot on the end will be a nice addition!

I like the globe knot, as it puts you one step ahead of the person that just ties Turks Head's. They really do look smart especially when there are three passes and the middle one is a different colour.

Newbie here. Would this be the knot to put on the end of a 1/2" rope as a stopper button? Do you have a video that would show one with two passes, that can cinch down tight onto the 1/2"rope as a decorative end button? Watching your videos I think I might just be able to do one

@KnottingKnots

5 жыл бұрын

When tying the globe knot, is usually tie it so that it is extremely tight around the object! Also the is one of the simpler ones, there are others with a longer skirt to wrap around objects.

Haha I'm good john yes I'm still here just lurking on here and on Facebook still trying to grasp this knotting malarky

Very informartive. Could you tell us how to finish the globe knot (hide the rope ends) once you're finished making the knot? I want to put a globe knot on either end of a pole (like you did with the stick with 3 passes), but I'm a complete beginner and don't know how I'd finish the knots once slipped on the end. Thanks!

@KnottingKnots

Ай бұрын

Once you have placed your globe knot over the end of your object, go round a few times and gently but firmly tighten up the knot. Once nice and tight, you can then cute the ends flush and gently tuck any unsightly bits under the Globe Knot. I also find that if you want to give the Globe Knot added protection and lock it all in place, you can use this finishing solution: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eW2dq5mLnZaZmdI.htmlsi=nq0FlqGaElasL_jy Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

I personally do globe knots with more facets on a Jig especially made for making globe knots.

I am a western saddle maker and an authentic cowboy . Born and raised, and have always been appreciative of these skills. In my case, I am interested in doing these things in rawhide and leather, but I do practice and make a few items with paracord because it is more forgiving, haha.

I suffer with sore fingers just using hard lay cordage, yours must really ache at times. I once made a leather ditty bag, and I found that really heavy going. Mind you it was only one off and did not have the correct tools. Are you able to show me any of your work, as I do love to see other people knot-craft? You can drag and drop a photo here, please: goo.gl/mQgf8E

I ended up with the two cords coming out the end, but with only one cord in the middle. I notice you have two cords in the middle. Where did I go wrong ?

Great intro, but at what point do you deviate to add more facets?

@KnottingKnots

6 жыл бұрын

The honest answer is that I am not sure. I chose this particular one, as it can be easily tied on the hand. However, when I do mega multi faceted ones I do it on a mandrel similar to the left or right hand ones: goo.gl/VJPKZb

Hi Jonny, very good tutorial, will be trying this! What's the name for the type of cordage you used for that bellrope? I'm trying to move from paracord to natural cord but the various twines and parcel strings I've bought from the post office and DIY shop tend to be "squishy" and don't make nice knots.

@KnottingKnots

6 жыл бұрын

Yes, massive problem you have there. I think this is why most people turn to paracord as it is easily accessible. The bell rope was made with polished hemp, that I purchased many years ago. Currently my favourite cord is twisted Tarred Line, as it is easy to get hold of, has a hard lay and also forms beautiful knots. There is a guide here to that stuff: igkt-solent.co.uk/twine-size-chart-metric-imperial/ I was wondering what country you are in, as I may know someone who is local to you that supplies good cordage?

OK that certainly makes things a little easier. I personally suggest that you practice with average cordage and then when you want to make a masterpiece order to rope from Mikko Snellman. If you are on Facebook I can link you up to a group where he also hangs out.

Do you know of any tutorials for the globe knot on the globe globe knot like the one on the end of the bell rope? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I was lucky enough to get hold of (probably the last copy) of the Globe Knot Cookbook. Maybe an internet search may bring something up?

I went to a festival last year called The Wilderness Gathering there were Nordic makers there who were displaying (unfortunately not selling) Nettle, Bramble and natural cordage which Id like to experimant with. Would you by any chance know of anyone who might sell this sort of thing? I have tried making it but it didnt work out too well, It could of been the wrong time of year I pulled the nettles. Thx again for your help Johnny. Rich

OK, I am no purist, but I personally would consider it a Turks Head of sorts. If you look at this photo freakinsweetapps.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/IMG_0706-440x328.jpg of the tool used, it has 3 rows at the top and bottom. When creating a globe knot all the pins are used to create bights. When creating a Turks head you would only use the top and bottom rows. the other pins are not required.
