This is the Knot from Hell! I wake up in the middle of the night with cold sweats. If I don't get this soon I'm going to give up and focus on how to make the hang mans noose.
Thank you for this video, Roger. I think if I watch enough videos on tying TH knots, I will finally get it. Of course it does help that I'm also tying the knots... Thank you for that extra part, too.
I’ve come away with a better understanding of how the interweave works. Thanks for taking the time to share. Also, it would be of more help if you could stay in the frame. Despite that, I have a clearer idea of how the knot flows.
Well done!. that phrase "splitting the pairs" helped me more than all the other tutorials "over 2, under 2..." with no explanation why. I'm looking for a knot on the heel of a dressage whip - perfect.
Thanks for an excellent tutorial presentation! I follow it step by step and it came out well beyond my expectations. But I over tighten it on a wooden cane and couldn't pin thru the last cord underneath to finish the turk's head for a perfect job. What a bumberrrr!!
One of the best if not the best turks head tutorial that I've seen. Like many I did not pick it up that quickly so I got the idea to keep pausing and making screen prints of every step and in the end it totalled 27 pictures on 14 pages. I printed the pages off and put it in my braiding / knot tying folder as a quick reference. Now the 5x4 and 7x6 turks head comes easily to me. From one Roger to another, thanks for your help.
One thing you can do instead of using a needle is soak the end of the cord with cyanurate/super glue however far down you want and it will become stiff, maybe a little sand paper will help it pass smoothly through your knot.
I wished I had found you sooner. I have been watching videos on how to tie a turks head knot for 6 months. I watched yours once and it clicked. The explanation and video were both great. Count me as new and loyal subscriber.
nice vid. k so this is a herringbone-pineapple knot. any idea how to tie any sobre type 2 or 3 pineapple knots? grant or barcus knots. hood or horn knots?
Maybe I'm different from everybody else, but this is not a good instructional video. You don't keep the piece oriented so a user has an idea which direction it's going. you never keep the piece in the frame as your working it, especially at critical points. I've learned alot from youtube how to vids, especially paracord work. Ya might want to take a few notes from Kevin Gagnes channel, Or NIcks Whipshop
I had watched pretty much every Turks head knot video on the Internet twice and was still as confused as ever. I watched your video a couple of times and I had it! Thank you so much for the only "understandable" Turks head knot video!
I subscribed! I am a whipmaker and your tutorials for the turks head and 7x6 pineapple knot are the best on the web! I was having a very hard time till I watched these! And I watched about a dozen others before I gave these a chance. Might I suggest doing some with flat paracord in attractive colors like a heel knot to draw more attention from all the other normal tutorials.
