I can't recall a time when I've felt more content with myself than when I finally got this one right. :) Everything seems to fall into place again. Thank you.
Thank you for your great demonstration! I teach high school physics (American) and I wanted to teach some decorative knotting to my students and have them make a key fob that would also double as their mortar board tassel at graduation. Unfortunately, I forgot how to tie the star knot to terminate the fob. Your video will do the trick. Great work again and thanks, Chris P
What I really love about the Star Knot is, when tightening it up, you have to think really hard which lead to pull up next. Once the strands disappear inside the knot, they seem to change direction to what you expect 😉 😉 😉 Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Final comment after watching whole video: Very nice, thank you! Challenge: 6 point star knot from one rope leaving two stands to tie as a necklace, embedding a coin/medal in the knot! If I manage to do it on my own, I'll try to share with you.
Johnny, I just want to thank you for your clear instructions. I've watched this star knot video so many times when it comes to finishing a bracelet or necklace it's pitiful. All your videos are wonderful, thank you!
Thanks mate.....been knotting for over a year now.....its a pastime i find very therapeutic and very benificial....i live in Sydney Australia. ....at the end of the day i enjoy a cup of coffee tying knots. ....having a think....sharing the knowledge with my children....teaching them knots .....patience. ...chatting about life as we knot together. ....for some reason i was always afraid of the star knot....thank you for making it easy and logical to follow....keep up the good work. ....thanks again.
Thanks for letting me know what people do on the other side of the world. I wonder if one of your interests would also be beach combing? This way you get the kids out for the day and also go rope and driftwood hunting. I personally always carry a knife in my pocket, just in case I come across some old rope. I actually lived in Penrith in the early seventies as a child. In those days Oz was still a really rugged place to grow up in. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Johnny Debt your very welcome john....been subsribed for awhile now....penrith is still abit rough around the edges.....good people there though.....salt of the earth....but that's Penrith.....as for carrying around a blade....these days the laws here in Australia have gotten ludicrous. ...ever since the government did the big gun grab.....this day and age.....the way the world is....in this country you cant even carry around a box cutter....everything is illegal....so....one has to think outside the box when wanting to carry something around.....anyway....i love your work....you keep it simple....because it is.....and you do it with a great attitude....keep up the good work
Many thanks for your kind words. Yes, in my day Penrith was very rough and ready. Emu Plains, was just that, plains and scrub land. I believe that has all changed now. I used to live on an army estate, next to the main camp in Penrith. Looking at Google earth, that has now gone, there is just an imprint of where the old wooden prefabs used to be. Memories!!!
Hello you are a wonderful fantastic teacher who really understands the learning process your teaching works for me!!! I want to use some paracord to knot a structure around a cylinder shaped bluetooth speaker so i can carabean it to my paddleboard when im on the river i was thinking of using a star knot at the ends and running the 6 strands down the cylinder to another star knot or something similiar and possible please if you can make a video for me lol! If you have time and might enjoy the challenge. I need a structure for a cylinder that doesnt cover up the sides too much but can be tightened very snuggly with a loop anywere that i can attach a carabeaner too. I was thinking a 6 strands going down the sides of the cylinder exposing the buttons and speaker face versus like the popular "netting" used on metal water bottles.. i hope i make sense. And again amazing video you sure know how to teach!!!
This is my favorite end/stopper knot. I used it to make a gorgeous key ring for my brother in the navy, and am going to continue making key rings that end with it. Amazing video, ridiculously easy to follow step by step instructions!!! Thank you sir!!!
Yes, the Star Knot is a rather wonderful knot, good to hear that you are using it in your work. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
@@KnottingKnots You're welcome! I wasn't sure you would see my comment with how old this video is. Honestly, I first watched it probably 2 years ago. From taking a short break from my paracord projects I lost it from memory, so I came back to re-learn it :) I was going to post a picture from my project, but forgot youtube doesn't allow it.
@@Silversnapdragon You can drag and drop a photo here: bit.ly/yourknotwork you will have to let me know if you do. I do still try to answer all comments on RUclips. 😉 😉 😉
I really do love the Star Knot, especially when tied in some nice hard lay polished hemp. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Great video John, thanks again! I learned the star knot from your previous video with 4 leads and I thought I had it down but this video showed me I've been doing something wrong this whole time when I make 6-pointed stars. With 4 leads, on the third phase (after the crown) you go straight across and down, but with 6 leads you don't go straight across, but 2 points to the right, following one of the leads as you come around. It's a little hard to explain but watching the video I had an "Aha!" moment.
Sometimes over time you change your tactics on how to do certain stages of a decorative knot. Maybe I learnt something new, I will have to check it out.
Johnny Debt I didn't mean you did anything wrong in the 4-lead video, I just made an incorrect assumption when moving from 4 to 6 leads that was cleared up by the new video. Cheers!
Suggestion: Tie one more short piece of cord in the middle at the beginning, so the six half-cords will be at the edges. If I'm not explaining properly, take seven identical round coins and make a hexagon with one in the middle/place one on a table and six around it.
your videos are wonderful and very clear and easy to understand. I learn much better by watching a video. At 20:35, when you say "just let me pull that one right there, it's come out of shape a little bit," it looks like something isn't right, in fact that strand looks to be going incorrectly because this knot is so very symmetrical. Please tell me I'm wrong.
Oh dear, have I got an error in the knot?? I am in the process of updating all my videos, hopefully the next one will be better all round. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
When you start this knot you start by tying half hitches not loops it's the same with the bowline you form a half hitch and put your end under.did you know you can make a single strand star knot from a daisy chain ?
Hi Johnny, Ted from San Diego “Go Army,” would it be possible for you to a actually show the tightening of this knot, showing where you start and working your way to the finish. For beginners….
Yes, I do plan another video on this one. I find that the hardest part is tightening, trying to remember where the cordage goes when it enters the knot............. and where the hell does it come out again???
Can you feed the beginning loops through? I want to make this as a gift for a Jewish friend so they can wear it as a pendant. I'll probably use a 3mm leather cord for the knot. Perhaps make the loops long enough to cut then make a doubled wall knot on the reverse side using all 12 cords in pairs so that it will keep the six pointed theme. That should leave all of the cords on the inside where a bit of glue can guarantee they'll stay once cut.
@@KnottingKnots for a five point star, but not any other. I make crosses all the time. (You can look on your Google photo group to see examples of that.) However, trying to come up with something for my Jewish friends has stumped me. The six strand star is the closest I've seen, although it's not ideal. The cross I make is my own design, and I've made other unique designs, so here's me thinking it can't be too difficult. Until I try, then I realized the enormity of the project.
@@KnottingKnots I intend to put it at the bottom of a bell rope to finish it off.I won't send a picture as I'm only starting out but with your tutorials I'll only get better.🙂
@@kevingodley3150 You may have already seen this, but there is a post on bell ropes here to inspire you: igkt-solent.co.uk/bell-ropes/ Thanks for taking the time to share this information, I always love to hear about knots and cordage being used in action!
Did it. Many starts and stops. A few missteps and redos. But a fairly reasonable representation in the end. This will take a few additional attempts to make something I would show off. A GREAT and EASY to follow tutorial. Thank you for your time and effort!
Glad that you managed to create a star knot in the end. I often thought this know too fancy to learn, maybe at the time I thought it too difficult?? Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Oh no, are you going to be one of us, wondering around with length of string in your hand??? 😉 😉 😉 I personally use about 2 meter length of 8mm float line. But, I do mainly use that to practice practical knots.
I just did this in paracord. I kept getting stuck at the third stage and it took about 5 attempts (not because of your instructions... they were perfectly clear). One thing I discovered was that the 'petals' have to stay flat as you do the work. Paracord is so floppy that the loops can get twisted, then then next stages go in the wrong way, then it all goes to pot. At any rate, your video is clear as always. I used my first Mathew Walker at the base of it too!
Yes Paracord can be a bit on the floppy side. I find that the best cordage is a hard lay cordage, as it keeps its shape well. 3 mm Paracord is also a bit stiffer.
Turn down or off the volume. He is a very break it down kind of teacher. I love Mikko Snellman’s channel. No or very few words on most. Turn down the music if it bothers you. I also slow it down to study it.
I finally learned to tie a Star knot by following this video--great stuff! I read about the Tudor Rose knot in Knotting Matters #43 and #100. This knot actually starts with the Star knot. The instructions in KM were rather difficult to follow--at least for me. I searched the internet for a video on this knot as videos are an easier way for me to learn a new knot. All I could find was one tutorial with a broken link. I can find a gazillion videos on bowline knots but none on a Tudor Rose knot--maybe it's a secret. If you made a new video for this lovely knot, I'm sure many people would appreciate it. By now I can tie a Tudor Rose, but the learning curve was steep.
Having recently acquired a(nother) rigging knife, I’ve been of a mind to create a(nother) “Brion Toss ‘Fancy’ Lanyard for it.” The perceived effort of remembering and recreating the Star Knot (again) was giving me a dose of ‘knotter’s block” (which at least paid off in terms of leather cases and holsters for some of my other tools.) Tired of the “imperfect” version of the lanyard currently on the knife -it has the bronze clip preferred by Toss that I find too heavy for the lightweight Boye knife I’m securing - I was determined to “get knotting.” In an enlightened moment, I thought to search this channel and low and behold, here it is. Bonus, I discovered I’ve probably tied the knot (slightly) incorrectly in all of my past efforts. I have “all” the books, but they often leave me confused and conflicted. Though some (including me at times) may feel that you over-explain seemingly simple steps, your videos really are the best resource I’ve found for learning (and re-learning!) knots, simple and complex. You’ve also inspired another project: I’m going to replacing my single-sided, plywood and golf tee Turkshead Tool with a double sided version made from a cutting board plastic and nylon grub screws. Thank you so much for providing this resource and the inspiration.
There is nothing better than a well dressed Star Knot, just to add that little extra wow! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I managed to do this with 4 strands of paracord, it was temperamental but got it done! Now trying with 4 cords (8 strands) and keep ending up with a huge mess.... HELP!!!!
Yep, it is a bit of a bugger. Once you get it, you will never forget! Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
Johnny Debt no different name Shawn Evans and I sent you text, photos, and a link. Facebook says you seen it but we both know that doesn't mean much lol
Have you heard how you explain things ? I mean have you really gone back and listened to yourself ? From a new set of ears. Geeeeezzzz man ! I was interested.... but you made it impossible. I'll keep searching and find another channel.
I started a long time ago to "over explain" as I have one subscriber who is blind. He and his granddaughter follow the videos, he listens and she watches. He ties the knot and if he goes wrong his granddaughter corrects him. A lovely little bond must be growing between them? Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
@@KnottingKnots I think that is lovely: both them working together but also you assisting that. I cannot imagine tying any knot without seeing it (bar the bowline one handed round myself - a misspent youth caving...) and this one looks so challenging even to the sighted.
