I’ll be curious on take 2 of the bellrope to know how you analyze what cord to change to if you do and what your source is. Thanks for making me smarter!
I like the way you explained things and didn’t do the same thing every other video I’ve seen do and complicate things by going around the standing end and splitting the pairs. I get so confused by that because I can never remember or discern what is what. Thank you so much. All I wanted to do was make a wider sailor’s bracelet and this video and a pdf I found from Dan Alaska, who uses a “mule” to help make the pattern, have finally achieved that.
I have tied this knot before. No idea how I got thru. Your instructions are great but are like my high school maths classes. Some kids got it. I never did. Keep posting. I like all your work.
Good clear instructions. Some suggestions: 1) Use the starting/standing end as a point of reference. You did that in this video. It gives the new person a point of reference. 2) Make a mandrel using the cork around a dowel or something into which the pins can stick. 3) Use "T" pins instead of what you were using. They are a sturdier pin that won't bend and are less likely to fall out. 4) Give size of cord. Give diameter of mandrel. Give length of cord. Then a person following you will be more likely to have the right amount of cord and the knots (Their's and yours will match.) You might also say, using 550 paracord you'll need about x length of cord. Another thing you could do is to put a splash page at the end of your instructions. The splash page can have the diameter of the mandrel, how many layers of cork. The size, type, and length of cord used. The people watching can pause the splash page, get the materials ready, then watch the video again with the right type and amount of material needed. Like I said, good clear instructions. Keep up the good work.
