Mikko, I love all your work, just some more than others this is one of them. My only regret is that I did not come across you sooner. Keep up the good work, it is very much apreciated.A cup of coffee a month is a small price for the hours of frustration you have saved me. Thank's again.

Thank you for your kind words, cheers!

Mikko- I seem to be an abysmal failure at tying knots on my hand so I tried to do this following Tom Halls video. It wasn’t until I watched your video that I truly understood the flow of the knot. I still tie on a mandrel but after 10+ attempts I can tie it, from memory, without pins or other crutches. My point: YOUR WAY of patient illustration, with a minimum of verbiage, is still among the best when it comes to teaching knot tying. Donald.

Excellent. Interesting subject and clear presentation.

Very nice. Enjoyed this demo a lot. It's no easy matter for an expert to patiently explain all the simple steps to a beginner. Planning to use it on a small fid in my kit. Thank you.

G'day from Australia mate. Absolutely loving your tutorials. My kids even know the sound of your voice coming from my office. 🇦🇺😉

The best way to make glob knots 🪢 is whit a glob knot mandrel !!! Look like a stick whit holes & pins, the pins you can place it in the holes gives different patterns & you can make lot of different glob knots !

Beautiful as always. Thanks so much.

This was beautiful to watch. I am new to your channel and look forward to watching more episodes (old & new). Cheers.

Realmente precioso este trabajo.

Thank you for your video. It took me a few tries to get it right but we’ll worth the effort. The ABON is a brilliant book but not always easy to understand.

I think, proper hard laid cord will ease up the process significantly. Thank you for another great Video.

I would love to have your Kringle mat jig and what size rope did you use in this video?

Excellent, inspirational and informative. I would like to ask you one question, if I may. It feels presumable that you dipped the knot in linseed oil. Is that a practice you follow for most of your knot work? It had never occurred to me and I find it very smart.

@mikkosnellman

3 жыл бұрын

That was shellac, not linseed oil. If the knotwork needs to be hard or protected, I often use shellac. Linseed oil grows mildew on cotton easily.

Thank you Mikko 🙏

Come sempre, eccezionale bravura...- 😁👏👍⚓🚩

Did I miss something or did you do TWO passes with the red cord, one on each side of the 3 bights?

I have had a couple of trial runs on this using paracord. I am expecting my new cherry wood fid today and want to cover the end with some hard-laid cotton cord using this technique. I would appreciate some tips on fairing and dressing the knot.

Just make sure you have enough coverage and dress very carefully with several passes. This covering can be easily over tight.
