Earl I have been using the segment rope clamp for a few years and came up with a different way to deal with the knot. I use a 3/4" x 10" dowel with 2 hole near the middle and one hole at each end. I use paracord and tie a knot in one end then feed the other end through one of the end holes I then feed it though the nearest middle hole then though the stick and back through the stick and through the other middle hole. Finally the un knotted end gets fed through the the last hole in the other end of the dowel. To use it I pull on the loupe to get enough slack to go around the segment ring then pull it tight by pulling on the right centre hole cord and then sinch it tight through the hole on the end. I then put a half hitch of cord on that end of the dowel and it is ready to be tightened by spinning the dowel. I can share a picture if you would like to see it. Keep up the great work
I first watched you make this band clamp some years back when I first got into segmented turning. I hadn't done any segmented pieces for a while until this week. When I went to clamp the rings I found the connections on my metal hose rings interfered and were pushing the segments out of whack. I remembered watching your other videos and thought that would work for me. I again gave them a watch, made the rope clamp and last night I noticed the video on RUclips of you making this stop block. This is a great addition Earl and improves an already simplistic but great idea. Thanks again Earl, and keep up the good work. Spike (UK).
Thank you Earl. As soon as I watched this video I went out to the workshop and made some from scrap 3/4" ply for my ring clamps. No more frustrating time wasted trying to undo the knots in the cord (yay!). Thoroughly enjoy your videos. All the best from the UK.
I love your rope clamp and have a couple that I use. I have used them way less than I would like because I had such trouble with undoing and moving the knot. I have tried different clamping methods for the knot which are not as elegant as your stop block. Thanks for the idea and the demonstration of your stop block. I will make a couple for my rope clamps.
I came across your videos on the rope clamps and stop block a while back. I made a couple and found they work great!! Thanks for the idea. I showed the clamps to a few of my wood turning friends and they looked at me like I had a hole in my head. Then after showing them how it works, they too have made the clamps with the stop blocks. Ya should have patented the idea since it is a good one and a heck of a lot cheaper than buying expensive clamping mechanisms or stainless steel pipe clamps. Great idea, Earl!!! Now a new subscriber.
Always a pleasure to see a new video Sir! This is brilliant and fixes the only thing I didn’t like about the string clamps. Thanks so much for sharing!
necessity is the mother of invention, but you make it look so simple, well done to you - got to go and upgrade mine now👍👍😊😊 Each time I look at your videos I am always overwhelmed at the fantastic segmented pieces you have made, quite an unbelievable collection, not only your supreme skills but you must also have the patience of Jobe.

Nagyon ötletes, jó módszer! Gratulálok hozzá. Már én is használom. Köszönöm az ötletet.--Very creative, good method! Congratulations to. I already use it. Thanks for the idea.--
Thank you for this and all your great videos, when I made the blocks I used 2" x3/4 plywood disk I had all ready cut so I didn't taper them just flat on both sides and to my surprise I didn't need a screw driver to tighten the rope just turn the disk and the rope loops on the block side locked into the notch just like the screw driver would hope this is clear so far it has worked for me.

Very clever! Thank you Earl, I've learned a few things from you and I wanted you to know that I appreciate it.
Thank you, you can not beat simple
Made a couple of the clamps already. You can be sure I'll be making the stops for next time I make a ring. Brilliant!

Thank you Earl. Great innovation. Love the clamps
I thank you. I've been looking for another idea for clamping my rings

Thanks Earl
Thank you Earl!
Thanks Earl. Great info.
Thanks Earl!
Thanks Buddy
What you see as common sense so many other see as genius!
Perfect!! Thanks
I really enjoy your videos, I have a question what type of glue do you prefer !
The new Titebond quick and thick
Do you use water instead of the accelerator that the CA companies sell? I don’t think I had ever heard of that before. Thanks Earl
Test it and see what you think
