More knotty stuff on my blog: stormdrane.blogspot.com
I used a Perma Lok Super Jumbo Lacing Needle to tie the knot, not required but they do make it easier to work these types of knots. A few things you might find long Turk's head knots tied around are: walking canes, hiking staffs, hand rails, ship/boat wheels, grab handles, knife grips and sheaths, pens, flashlights, carabiners, or used as bracelets, fobs, lanyards, etc... Once you learn to tie them, you'll find yourself looking around for things to add them to. :)
I often reference Bud Brewer's photo tutorial for the 'long 4 bight' Turk's head knot, on the Knot Heads World Wide website: web.archive.org/web/200803300...
I've received many requests by email, messages, and blog comments for more help from folks that couldn't quite follow the photo tutorial, so maybe this video will help those that need it.
If you think I'm going too fast in the video, make use of the 'Pause' button if you're tying as you watch, and you can easily go back or forward using the 'Play' bar for the video as well. After uploading, I'll go back and add annotations/notes to what is being done in the video, and watchers can compare Bud's tutorial with mine to get a better idea of the process for this knot.
The procedure of doubling/tripling the knot and then gradually tightening it up can take considerably longer than tying the initial knot, so have patience. Sometimes I don't get all the crossings straight like they should be, and I'll untie everything and start all over. Take your time to get it right the first time. Knot Responsibly. :)

It just goes to show that a good clear method of demonstrating anything beats a lot of, sometimes useless chatter. Well done. And thanks a bunch.

I sometimes have trouble getting the first two bights of a long Turks head knot started, and this is the video I always come back to. Perfect demonstration, no unnecessary chattering... Thank you!

Try using a screw clamp for the one end rather than a rubber band I myself am still learning and need to make a longer one in order to do what I want but using the screw clamp helped me drastically in the learning process and I've only been at it for about 3 days when it comes to globe knots or turkshead knot also what's the difference between the two I can't tell

@dezwujie 2 месяца назад

@@kennethpaschall6811 globe knots can be formed into a sphere whereas Turks head knots typically cover something cylindrical (or mostly cylindrical like a handle). Globe knots are really good to tie around steel ball bearings or wooden beads to make a great end of a key fob. Tying them is really similar though. Many of the differences come in the tightening & finishing steps.

Hi David, nice Jobs! About the first knot, I don't remember how to finish the knot at the top (to place on a metalic fid using in very cold weather ) how to finish this roundish part. thanks by advance for a new tuto on this chanel. Capt Patrick.

@khairoen 8 лет назад

hey storm i enjoy your videos... i been searching for mored videos on braids. are there any website i can look for? how long is needed to make a bracelet or a lanyard?

@Stormdrane 8 лет назад

+khairoen The amount needed can change for each pattern/design that is done including such variables as diameter of particular cord you're using, different types of buckles/clasps/closures, and how tight or loose you tie a particular knot, as well as if you trim and melt/sew/glue or tuck the end strands too. There are folks that share specifics for patterns they tie, like in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OhLsR4a9dEs.html But, to narrow it down, I've found it best to just tie a short sample of a pattern with a known length of cord, see how much you used to make an inch or two of that pattern out of the length you tied it with, then multiply that by what you need a finished length to be, and add in extra to account for buckles, loops, core strands and whatnot so you don't come up short in the end. It's a very mathematical situation if you break it down, and I'm no mathematician, lol. There are turk's head calculators online too, that can figure out lengths based on leads, bights, core diameter you're tying around and cord size too: upstream.50webs.org/turkshead/turks.html

@zahnyisrael1835 8 лет назад

This was nice, I have been searching for a design using three colors to go around the top of a walking stick (cane). Any deals of where to search. Thank you. I am new at this

@Stormdrane 8 лет назад

You can tie this knot with three colors, just make the knot with one color first, then follow the pattern from start to finish with the second color, and again with the third color. The excess cord at start and end can be trimmed and tucked after you tighten up the knot. To tighten, you gradually work the slack out, from start to finish with each color. Don't try to do it all in one pass, just work some slack out of each color in order, and go back and do that again, from start to finish. It may take two or more times to get the knot tight, keeping it straight and lined up as you work, very time consuming, but worth it in the end. ;)

how many strands of paracord core did you use for the tan and black lanyard 12:47 ?

@Stormdrane 8 лет назад

+NEZAHUAL There are two strands of paracord in the core of that lanyard, of a doubled up single strand length. There is more info in my blog post on that particular project: stormdrane.blogspot.com/2010/10/long-turks-head-knot-lanyard.html

@Nezahualcoyotl001 8 лет назад

+Stormdrane (David Hopper) Awesome. Thanks for the link. Also, how did you attach the snap hook at the end? Did you loop the two strands from the lanyard knot back into the. knot then sew it to keep it in place?

@Stormdrane 8 лет назад

+NEZAHUAL I ran the two paracord strands, coming out of the long TH knot, around the snap hook then tied the lanyard knot around those core strands, working the knot down to the TH knot and tightening it up, and trim the ends to finish that knot in place. Needle and thread can be run through the lanyard knot and core strands to further secure it, as well as sewing through both ends of the long Turk's head knot and core strands to make sure that knot stays in place too. From where I stopped with the long TH knot, I could have worked more slack out of it, but that would have shortened it up even more length wise than I wanted, so sewing thru the ends of the TH and core strands keeps it in place and from getting twisted or moving around over the core strands. Hope that makes sense.

puedes ocupar una aguja de cáñamo, la encuentras en cualquier ferretería

@pabloricardodetarragon2649 8 лет назад

Las hago simplemente con un pedazo de tubo de cobre de 1/4 de pulgada para gas LPG. Más sencillo; Las agujas de tejer recortadas funcionan muy bien, y se usa un poco de cinta eléctrica par fijar la cuerdita a la aguja.
