Weekend Knotter channel is created by Tony Ho to show people how to tie basic Casa, Turks Head and other exotic and complex knots to use for decorations. Videos are usually posted weekly.
Advanced grid maker is hands down the best tool out for for plotting/designing layouts for TH's PK's, HB's & gauchos, learnt alot from the PDF's & videos by 'Freakinsweetknots' & from tutorials like these uploaded by you & others - Thanks for upload, great work
I know you have made this from Tom halls book but it is not correct in fact all his sobre knots are as he failed to see that a foot rope Turks head is made with the chevrons pointing towards you and a diamond Turks head is when the chevrons point away from you and these two knots are the inverse of the other one and to see this you need to turn you work around
I use 2mm cords for most of my projects. It should work on all spherical objects. It depends on the number of part and bight. It is not a globe knot, it will show your pool ball number.
I simply use whatever on hands to tie. There is no execute not to tie. No need expensive tools or cords. Rich or poor can enjoy knot tying at anytime. 😄
Can a type 1 expansion pass bump this up to a 7 part x 5 bight knot? I’ve tried a few different approaches but wind up with 5 bights on the top and 2 or 3 on the bottom. Donald
Not on 7 part x 5 bight knot. By using Expansion method 1 ( starting on left hand side of the standing end ), will increase number of parts and bights by 2, only works on Regular Square Knots ( 1 part less than the number of bights or 1 bight less than the number of Parts ), such as 5 Part x 4 Bight or 4 Part x 5 Bight. In your case, 5 Part 3 Bight is not a Square Knot, but a long Turks Head Knot. You will have to tie a 7 Part x 5 Bight Knot instead of expanding it from 5 x 3. Would you like to try to tie a 7 x 5 knot first? or....
@@WeekendKnotter I noticed your video for the 7L5B Sobre knot, but thought the 5L3B expanded would be easier. Guess I’ll just have to learn the pattern as you’ve presented. I did go to the Advanced Grid Maker and was able to create a run list for a 7x5 knot, but I don’t like working from a run list and had to tie it on a pinned mandrel. I can send run list and diagram if you’re interested. Donald
@@djecpamba if you swapped Unders with Overs and Overs with Unders on your standard 7 x 5 run list, you would have a run list for a 7 x 5 Sobre knot. Tying knots without pins is more fun 😁 happy knotting.
My son asked me to (teach) show him how to tie simple turks heads (3L2B & 5L4B, etc) and like most novice knotters he became frustrated by his inability to keep the leads from moving. I suggested he watch some of your videos for tips on how to keep leads in place. I’m enjoying your videos. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Donald
Could use a rubber band to keep standing end in place or a constrictor knot. Otherwise, use mandrel with pins. With simple Turks Head with less leads, just mandrel will do.
@@WeekendKnotter I’ve always used an elastic band to secure my standing end. His problem, as with most of us just starting out, is that he hasn’t learned to hold the leads in place as he works through the knot. It’s something he can learn so long as he keeps at it. I suggested your videos so he had examples to learn from. Donald
@@djecpamba just use his index finger as mandrel. Do a 5 x 4 Turks Head Knot on finger, it is suitable for most beginners. Next, double it to create a Scout woggle. After that, he can try to use expansion / enlargement method 1 to bump up to 7 x 6 then 9 x 8 Turks Head Knots. That should keep him busy for a while.
Although the knot is more involved than more straightforward turks heads, in my opinion, tying can help to better understand how different patterns evolve. What Ron Edward’s text did you draw upon for this? Donald
I am sorry I can not remember where I got the pattern or idea from, since it has been some time ago. When I come across the material again, I will let you know.
I’ve watched a number of videos on enlargement method 2 and your demonstration is the clearest, most straight forward, I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Donald
Those are 12 part x 12 bight Pineapple Knot Type 1. The base knot is a 7 part x 6 bight Casa Knot in blue colour cord and interweaved with a 5 part x 6 bight Casa Knot in golden brown colour cord.
