Of all the Herringbone tutorials I've watched, yours has to be top shelf. The narration and focus of the "flow" of the knot, vs. the "over x, under y" rote method is excellent advice. Bravo Zulu, m8!
I've gotten them down by now, but I know a lot of people struggling and I want to say there are a number of very explanatory videos out there, but yours is the most comprehensive. A pleasure to watch and listen to.
STILL the BEST tutorial around to learn Turk's head knots and pineapple interweaves! Bruce Grant's book made no sense to me as it uses a different approach than this, and it is very confusing, but this makes a lot of sense.
Thank you for actually explaining how a turk's head is tied and why. I recommend you put these multi-part videos into a playlist so people can play them all in a row.
Thank you for the wonderful explanation. You have a great understanding of the knots and the patience to explain in a manner that's understandable by everyone. (At least by me, I was confused until now). Thanks again 🙏🏽.
hey i noticed you corrected the video..... on a type 1 pineapple the bights are nested in the casa knot and the herringbone are nested outside the casa knot unless you are doing type2,3,4 etc etc.... then it's a whole different ball game.... great vid btw
Tyrell Laney,Sr there is a relationship between mandrel diameter, cord size and length, and knot size. For this knot, tied with 550 cord, yes 3/4 is a good size.
I've had Bruce Grant"s book for 10 years. I could never get anything out of it but the Spanish ring knot. And if I remember right he even got the diagram wrong on that. I think after a life time of having a hard time getting the old timers to show him anything he decided to put together a deliberately worthless encyclopedia.
tyvek05 There is a mistake in the Catherine knot. I know it because I fought with it bitterly until I got it. And as Ron Edwards he doesn't know the difference between a Pineapple knot and a Herringbone knot - which is a mistake many make. Otherwise I would say it is very resourceful book with mostly very good drawings. But one should also say it can be a bit hard for absolute beginners.
