Rib Stitching Using The Modified Seine Knot. 

excellent, great commentary, not distracting. I lost track of time, was as if I was watching over his shoulder, my hands were twitching to grab the needle and help. again thanks

thanks. this is so usefull for young A&P's technicians.

AS an alternative, I would recommend the Beechcraft knot; fast, easy to do, self tightening and if it's good enough for a Staggerwing, it's good enough for most things that fly.

Convinced me that I will never do my own rib stitching! Ha!

This is incredibly intimidating for someone looking to do there first project.. 😳

ymmv, but this knot, as shown, does not work with Stits flat braided cord. I tied a quite a few, but noticed that they would come loose as I pushed the knot into the hole. The reason, the side of the anchor relative the knot. in the video (6:11), the anchor line is on the same side of the knot as the thread being pulled out, twisted, and then back under. in other systems/descriptions, the line that doesn't move is always away from you (which it is in this video), but knots are tied in that direction, such that the anchor comes from your side.

is this whats also known as a tie-off knot?

Hi, I am building a Stearman 1/5 scale and trying to simulate rib stitching on wings, what is the diameter of the thread you are using for stitching ?? I made a test with 0,8 mm thread and not sure if this is too thick. I enjoyed watching your job !!!!

I wouod loove to see what the person on the other side is doing and what it looks like.

Seine (pronounced "sane") knot. As in a seine net for fishing.

wonder how they would have done it if they had cable ties back then ,, lol great job , but ill bet it takes practice.

Wow, not an easy feat for a beginner.

Under the loop over the loop. Please fix your video
