I made this using a thimble, 3 strands, used a separate cord for a turks head in place of the Mathew walker, and ended with a 6 point start knot. I also added an anchor charm. It was for my brother in the USN. Came out beautiful!
I made it, it's lovely, thanks! I had some initial difficulty with the Matthew Walker knot, I've only made two strand ones in the past and dressing the four strand one is a beast, but one I've now tamed. Your method of tying the footrope knot is excellent.
I've now made lots out of 2 mm waxed cotton cord, each with a small bell attached to the footrope knot at the end. We have loads of little bells for the Christmas tree, which have lost their cords. Now they have flashy hangers bell cord type hangers instead. (Inverted bell rope hangers...) I got a book of possible bell ropes for Christmas so am soon going to wean myself off producing this design...
Mark.. great tutorial. I have followed yourself and Mikko Snellman. He makes a floating key fob, with hard foam.. do you think you could do a similar tutorial, showing in a bit more detail, how to do this. Mikkos tutorial is quite fast... i cannot make out the start... many thanks....
Hey there Alan! I have made a tutorial on my version of the floating key fob. Would this be of use to you? ua-cam.com/video/iNzYhilGlmE/v-deo.html Mark
Mark.. great tutorial.. i have used this, with a cork and micro cord.. i would really like to see you do one similar to Mikko... the same as the bell rope key fob.... your videos are great... maybe you could think about it....
Absolutely. It looks like fun. What he is doing as far as I can see is tying wall knots. If you flipped his work around, they would basically be crown knots. Mark
I used a 1.58mm; 1/16", which is a bit snug for 2 strands of 550 paracord, even if it _is_ tightly twisted. If I had it to do over, I'd go with something around 3mm; 1/8".
How do you prevent the thimble from rotating in the twisted loop. No matter how tight I get it, it can still be twisted. Call me a purist, but using super glue, or any other adhesive, is out of the question. Thanks!
Hey Jack, thank you for the question! I have not had that issue myself. The trick is to make the loop small at the start. After tying the Matthew Walker knot I usually have a hard time jamming the thimble it. So it stays put. I hope that helps! Mark

Hey Mark.. Can I pick your brains..... I have been asked to make a bell rope, approx 6 inches long, using 2 colours of paracord... Can you give me a few pointers on knots to use, and how much paracord i would need.. Thankyou in advance.. Alan....
Hi! I made a tutorial on a cat of nine tails which can be modified into a very decent bellrope. Here is the video: ua-cam.com/video/ga639ucOzx4/v-deo.html Mark
There really needs to be more tutorials like this out there.
Easy to follow, nice....slow....relaxing instructions.
Thank you

Thank you, Mark. I actually made a bell rope for my sailboat!
I'm in the coast guard on an 87 ft patrol boat and our bell didn't have a rope so I used this tutorial to make one

I've now made several, and can do the whole thing without the video, I'm kind of hooked. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them all.....

Worked great for my actual bell pull rope!
Well I did it. I'm just not sure how lol. Oh well, can watch the video for the 34th time and try again :) Brilliant video - thank you.
Very good tutorial, I learned something new... Thank's!
Absolutely brilliant
very good tutorial thank's
Great tutorial, thank you!
Bom dia
Oi
Can you tell me what length of cord I'd need for a 9 inch bell ringer cord?
Hi Mark , would you be able to show how to properly hide the remaining cord please . I am having difficulty in doing this.
U probably dont need it anymore, but i made a crown knot and then burned the enda
Mark..
great tutorial.
I have followed yourself and Mikko Snellman. He makes a floating key fob, with hard foam.. do you think you could do a similar tutorial, showing in a bit more detail, how to do this.

Paracord guild . it how he starts it off...
Where can I find the flat spike I have seen you use in order to tighten different knots
Can you please tell me where you buy the knife
Great video but you ended 10 seconds too soon. Where do you hide the ends at the final step?
Hey Mark I just made one of these from Mikko's tutorial. :) Question, what size thimble are you using?
I used a 1.58mm; 1/16", which is a bit snug for 2 strands of 550 paracord, even if it _is_ tightly twisted. If I had it to do over, I'd go with something around 3mm; 1/8".

@@Paracordguild I use a rubber band to hold the twist, while I tie the MW knot.
Hi Mark. I need help. What size thimble did you use?

Where are the ends of the Paracords?
Hey!
They are coming out at the bottom. I trimmed them and melted to secure them.
Mark
Hi Mark , how do you hide the paracord when completed ?
Hey!
I simply trim the ends and melt them, or leave a bit of the ends sticking out.
Mark
What is the size of the rope thimble??
