Glad that it helped out. It always surprises me that this video does so well, as it is one of my first. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Thank you so much for the clearest instructions that I’ve been able to follow. After hours of frustration trying to follow other videos, I’ve finally cracked it!
@@KnottingKnots indeed I do. I’ve already used the TH as a covering knot for the Des Pawson fancy dog leads where the square knot/solomon bar loop handle is spliced back into itself. Please continue with the videos, they’re an invaluable source of info and ideas.
@@KnottingKnots not a ditty bag handle just yet. I want to make a decorative dog leash as made by Mikko Snellman but it involves a 17 strand sennit. I’ve made one attempt but had to stop part way through, then of course, the leads got mixed up so I’ve abandoned it until I’m on my own for a couple of hours without interruptions.
@@richarddrayson5980 Wow, a 17 strand sennit is quite an undertaking!! I love a good decorative project, it usually involves a lot of swearing and sore fingers............... good luck with your dog lead 😉 😉 😉
@@KnottingKnots Did a flat version for a beer mat🍺😜 I soaked it in water before compressing overnight in my vice and fixing a backing - looks really good👌 Remember being fascinated by them years ago whilst in the Cubs🤣🤣
@@arplast1 If you enjoy this sort of thin, I would like to suggest you have a look at the Kringle Mat for your next project: ruclips.net/video/2y1DBSlxzVI/видео.html
I've watched dozens of videos. Turks, Spanish Ring, etc... just trying to figure out how to tie this and others. Every video content creator so far has demonstrated relatively from one angle. You're the first to constantly show what's happening all the way around slowly enough, and with explanation. Not just acting and taking like people should already know... by osmosis I guess. *THANK YOU* I see in the upcoming video list you're doing a long Turks head. As I'm trying to learn this to do a steering wheel wrap, I'm looking forward to more of your content. (Right now, on a dowel rod, I have been stacking multiples of these side by side, with the exit of the previous becoming the standing end of the next. After tightening down, and twisting so the bights set into each other, they look pretty good.)
Thank you very much for taking the time to comment. The problem I find with a Turks Head, is that it is very hard to predict what the final length will be. The long 2 bight and the long 4 bight Turks head are great for a hiking stick etc, but to put it around a steering wheel could be tricky when calculating the number of turns required. Maybe as a suggestion, see if there are any videos on Coach Whipping? I think the bell rope on this page was done with coach whipping: igkt-solent.co.uk/knots-canal/
@@brooknyr Getting hold of good hard lay cordage in the UK is rather difficult!! I personally visit the odd car boot or eBay for rope etc. As old rope makes good rope mats! Sometimes you do come across smaller stuff. I think your nearest supplier to the UK is Mikko, who is in Finland. He sells excellent quality cordage and also kits to make your own projects. His contact details are in a link on this post I did a while ago: igkt-solent.co.uk/bell-rope-kit/
Johnny, I just completed your Turks head on the hand. I did two passes, I noticed that the top side of my hand had more of a pattern then the inside of my palm side? It looked different, is that normal?
Yes, I really do see what you mean. I would like to think that as I progress this channel, all comments will be incorporated to improve viewer experience. I do now have a play list just on projects, where it show how to make certain knots and complete a project. Are you a knotter?
Johnny Debt No, but I need a top dead center mark (turkshead) on my boat steering wheel and I need to re cover my truck steering wheel, maybe with a Ringgold and some turksheads.
This is the simplest most concise and easiest to understand demo of how to tie a turks head. Thank you.
.......... and now, everything that you see may just get a decorative covering??? 😉 😉 😉
I wish I could hug you for this, absolute perfect video. Thank you

This is the clearest most easy to follow video on turksheads I’ve seen to date. Thank you for making this.
Gosh, this is one of my very first videos, thanks for the compliment.
Thank you so much for the clearest instructions that I’ve been able to follow.

Wow, this really is an old video of mine. Do you have anything planned now that you have watched this video?

@@richarddrayson5980 Des Pawson's Book is superb for learning decorative knotting projects! Have you taken on making a Ditty Bag?

Clear and concise instructional video👌 Best Turk’s Head tuition on RUclips👏👏
Wow, thanks for that comment...................... especially when I think as to how long ago I did that video. What do you plan on using it for?

Very clear. Thank you.
You are trying this inside out or inverted as the ends should come out on both sides of the knot
I enjoyed your videos. Can you advise me where I can buy natural cord.thanks.
What country are you in Mike?
Thanks for the reply. I never thought to say, I am in the UK. I live in North Wales. Looking forward to your reply.

@@KnottingKnots thanks for your reply. I will look into mikko.

how do you find that rope
I think I just found that old rope in a shop. Are you looking for quality cordage?
no i am just finding like that rope
Johnny Debt , where do you buy your rope and accessories?
I wish people would do something with their knots after they're made to show what they are for. It needs context.

Well the above will cover the boat. How about something from here: ruclips.net/p/PL7nysDkNnZHf8IAYWCPhfWLFA-RW7e2tH for your truck steering wheel?
Thank you. I finally found an easier way to make this %> $#&*! Knot :-)
Well now that you know, you will be covering everything with it!! 😉
