    One of the first Turks heads I learned. Did it right the first time, then had to re-tie at least 15 times before understood what I was doing wrong. So now I have10 of them ready to go for misc applications that arise. Frustrating and fun once you catch on... Thanks for taking the time and effort to help us understand.....dje

      The four bight version always got me confused. I learn it and then there is always a long gap between uses and have to look it up again. Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots being used! Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?

    Top tip: if you have a box of O-rings, find one the right size to slip over the tube to secure your cord. Much neater than tape or a rubber band :-)

    • @KnottingKnots
      @KnottingKnots  6 лет назад +1

      I often use elastic bands on some of the knots, especially if crowning. I think for this knot I generally don't use anything, just needed something in a hurry for filming.

    • @djecpamba

      Those O-rings work well as replacement keepers when the one on your rubber/plastic watch band fails.

    Hi... great video. Can you please tell me a little more about that 'finishing solution' you mentioned? I often work with R&W's Handy Hundreds cord which is dyed and invariably loses its colour when I'm spending hours handling it and tightening globe knots. I'm wondering if the finishing solution might be a useful fix for this if I was to prepare the cord with it before starting my work. I'd really appreciate any information you can give me on this. The dye comes out so readily that I have to tie and tighten using plastic gloves :)

    • @KnottingKnots
      @KnottingKnots  7 лет назад +1

      Ah you have a similar problem to me when I work with tarred rope, the damned stuff comes off. I personally use the finishing solution at a 50 50 mix. Maybe you would need a 70% water to 30% PVA? Here is a link to it: ruclips.net/video/G9iI7Rm33io/видео.html This may stiffen the cord slightly, but should offer a protective layer to the cord. Let me know if it works?

    • @BigHenFor
      @BigHenFor 5 лет назад

      Check out his videos on the Single and Double Lanyard Knots specifically.. These are beginner knots, as they are common on lanyards. If you go through his playlists, you can you would have tied a few Lanyard Knots before getting to this one. The Turks Head is an advanced knot, so it's reasonable he'd go through the Lanyard Knot without breaking down. It might be best to practice the Lanyard Knots before the Turks Head, as it will give you basic skills and muscle memory you might find useful.

    Pet peeve #1... that bloody twist in one of the cords between the diamond knot and the Turk's Head, and this is _not_ the first time I've run into that bugger. It's the loop that's formed @14:40 that causing it and it's a PITA to get rid of.

    Hi Johnny, great videos my friend. 2 questions, if you use 3mm rope/paracord, what size of lacing needle do you use also how would you extend the length ?

    • @KnottingKnots
      @KnottingKnots  7 лет назад +1

      I just use a standard lacing needle, but what I do is when I melt the end I also flatten it to make it a bit wider to fit the lacing needle. To extend the length of the Turks Head, all you need to do is wrap extra turns at the very beginning. So instead of three turns, do five or seven or more, but always an odd number.

    Good video but why did you not put the knife in the loop on top?

    • @KnottingKnots
      @KnottingKnots  4 года назад

      You do not always want to have the same lanyard on a knife all the time. So if the hole in your knife is big enough, feed it through like on this knife: instagram.com/p/BigsCTaAs_R/? Also by doing it this way, it reduces the wear on the lanyard. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.

With the loop part that attaches to the knife, I never cut it, but pretend it was cut, I grabbed each side and tied a little knot, this made the length about half the size perfect for what I wanted, then I just fed the double loop through the lanyard hold and now it's great.

      Yes, you can do that, but I always try to make my lanyards so that they can be detached. I usually feed the loop through the end of the knife, then pass the work through the loop and pull tight.......... bit like a Cow Hitch.

    The finishing solution is water and what?

    • @KnottingKnots
      @KnottingKnots  7 лет назад +1

      PVA glue in the UK is also known as woodwork glue. I think in the States it is known as Elmer's glue?
      Here is a full definition: Poly(vinyl acetate) (PVA, PVAc, poly(ethenyl ethanoate): commonly referred to as wood glue, white glue, carpenter's glue, school glue, Elmer's glue in the US, or PVA glue) is an aliphatic rubbery synthetic polymer with the formula (C4H6O2)n. It belongs to the polyvinyl esters family with the general formula -[RCOOCHCH2]-. It is a type of thermoplastic

    • @john1947ful
      @john1947ful 7 лет назад

      Great. Thank you so very much for the really quick reply. You're right, Elmer's glue is PVA. But maybe I'm dense or just not made enough paracord stuff to understand the process. Could you maybe me specific on how to do the process? Again, much thanks, great stuff.

    • @KnottingKnots
      @KnottingKnots  7 лет назад +1

      Basically what I do is mix 50% water with 50% PVA. I have a small jar that I half fill with PVA and then top up with water. I then give it a good shake to ensure that it is completely mixed. This is then stored in the fridge (properly marked bottle) and ready to use.
      Whenever I have a knot that requires finishing solution, I then get a brush and dip it in the solution and then coat my knot work. I put on just enough to soak into the knot. This not only protects the cord, but also keeps the knot locked in place when dried.
      I would suggest that you always test the solution on some cord first to ensure that it does not stain or detract from the desired result.

    Johnny, good morning. Great video, I was thinking of adding .9 mm cord to the Turks head. I plan to use two strands of black chord then using blue 9mm cord. If I do, would I add it after tightening up the para cord or add it before?

    • @KnottingKnots

      I personally would tighten the TH but not too tight and then pass the thin cord through, then tighten if required. The trouble is, nothing is straight forward when you do something for the first time.
