So enjoyable to watch you work. Great choices in music as well.

It's a great pleasure to watch you work while listening to Martin Tallstrom!

Such a nice show, I used to make these to be strung on a hammock, tarred cotton rope was common then, always called them hula dancers and they had much longer skirts than what you show, please keep up the good work !!

I’ve had about 50 feet of, I believe it’s .75 Manila rope . It could well be a full 100 mm rope. 19:03 I’ve recovered about 5 years ago. Stored inside. I have always kind of played around with knots over the years but now have the time… kind of. I’m 72 now. I’m boing to make a couple of these with different stopper knots. I’m going to try and locate some tarred linen . Wish me luck. Have a great day. Jon

This guy’s work is inspiring and amazing. Like stepping back in time to watch how the chief sailmaker on a clipper ship showed the midshipmen how to do it.

Love watching your videos. Great source of inspiration.

Just simply beautiful, simple but effective technique

You are a living treasure and always a joy to watch! Thank you!

ok. my eyes popped a bit when you stuck that bad boy unto the fire... 😃 very fun to watch your craft!

Another awesome project. Thanks!

Mikko, bend and tease, tickle and sqeaze. No rush with the brush. Easy with the fire. Relaxe and voila !! Thanks. Dave

Hi, Mikko. Awesome video. I've made a few of these as gifts since seeing this back in July. Quick question, though. You have some jars or glass vases in the background at around the 9-second mark. Have you done (or would you do) a tutorial on these? Thanks!

What type of brush are you using when you burn excess fibers? Do you always burn to finish your manila rope knots?

@mikkosnellman

4 жыл бұрын

Burning excess fibers is not a must, it just gives a nicer, smooth appearance. Brushing is just to wipe away the soot, any hard brush will do, like toothbrush.

Please, what is that tool called? It looks so useful! The one that you use to open a space between strands, then slide another strand through the opening. Name please?

When strands point up from the stem, it is a Wall and when strands point back down to the stem, it is a Crown. Making this a Wall. Otherwise they are just mirror images.

Great projects ! I need an advise. I want to recover some beams with the rope and I have no idea how could I do this in the T part, where 2 beams cross.

With coarse fiber manila you can cut the fibers short and use it for whisking but in this size they make a good table brush. Large ones are used as deck swabs.

After watching this video multiple times.... I have made 6 of them.. It’s too fun to make and I have found them to very useful around the shop and work great on a keyboard.... One question, If I wanted to flatten the “Fan” what kind of knot work would you use to tie half way down the broom portion? I was thinking two small pieces of leather squeezed together with a saddle stitch, but then though some kind of line knot work would look cool.

Great stuff. I am interested in learning to make rope and try my hand at knot tying. I have subscribed to your channel as well as the KZread channel know as “the23rdcat”. I asked him where he got his rope machine and he said that you had made it. I am a carpenter by trade and would like to make a rope making machine myself. Do you sell plans for making this machine or could you point me in the right direction as to where I might find some? Thanks and Cheers from Canada.
