Yes you are correct, but I also called it the Diamond Knot in the title so that people would recognise that it may be a knot they want to learn. I will pin your post to the tope for others to see.
Thx a lot Johnny for your excellent videos, especially this one saved my day trying to find a good stopper for my DIY triceps training rope. I am totally knew to knotting (except the usual household knots) but your instructions are easy to follow. I love your accent, by the way.
When you make this you made a crown knot to start and then a wall knot but as I have lately discovered these are half hitches and a foot rope knot is made with half hitches going in one direction followed by half hitches going in the opposite direction and that's that so Eazy
Excellent! You do a great job in all your videos. Can you do one on your sources of materials? Please consider those of us across the pond in the colonies.
To be honest, when I first started I mainly used Des Pawson's book: amzn.to/2f4TzwP I have always had a copy of Ashley's Book of Knots, but in the early days I never really used it, as I found it to be rather complicated. In this Playlist are the main books that I referred to ua-cam.com/play/PL7nysDkNnZHfhD_Q8XgUjYQwr1PC1RCMW.html In the earlier days I would also surf the net for inspiration and try and work out how certain projects were done. Are you just starting out in the world of knotting?
i wouldn't say 'just starting' but still a relative newcomer. youtube is my primary source for learning to tie. I have a lot of knot books but they are focused on working knots. I was wondering about cordage and rope that you use. Paracord is nice but a bit lacking in authenticity. any suggestions for were to get good cordage?
hi Johnny. love the videos. when ever I the this knot (and the manrope knot as well) following your video it comes out fine. but when I try and tie it from memory I wind up with 2 working ends coming out of the same hole. what am I doing wrong (the mistake is somewhere after the crown/wall combination, and I'm tying a 6-strand variation)
Yes, I too struggled with this one. I had to do it over and over again, even now I sometimes have to think really hard about which way to go. Decorative knot work can be such a frustrating hobby!!
Johnny Debt I think I have it sussed. If I hold the working ends in my other hand after I've threaded them through it makes it easier to keep track of which one I've tied and which one is next
Are you able to show me any of your work, as I do love to see other peoples knot-craft or knotting solutions? You can drag and drop a photo here, please: bit.ly/yourknotwork Let me know here when you have posted it?
@@KnottingKnots Done but embarrassed to put it up there with all those wonderful examples. Failed at the end tucking the final 4 crowned strands into the diamond knot but I couldn't have got that far without your videos.
@@caahacky Please do not be embarrassed, my early work is awful, To be honest, you have taken on quite a challenge and done exceptionally well!! Do not throw it away, keep it. I hang my early work on my Ditty Bag, just to remind me how far I have come. Have you got a copy of Des's book, on Knotting Projects, I found that very useful in the early days. If not, I can post a link on here?
The crown knot goes anticlockwise wise and the wall goes clockwise..the foot rope and the diamond knot are the same knots inside out.if you tie a single footrope knot and then roll the crown down over the wall you will have a diamond knot.
I was watching one of your videos that you used a book by des pawson where you made this knot but you called it a diamond knot but you might know that he trades under the name of footrope knots but when he makes one he calls it a diamond knot.
some people like to follow colours, I really must look at this video to see if it needs improving. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated. Are you more of a practical or decorative knotter?
You believe a wall knot is an upside down crown ,but this is not correct ,a footrope knot is a partly inverted diamond knot ,a wall knot is a completely inverted crown knot or visa versa ,not upside down but inside out.
I personally got my tools from a guy in the States who makes them. If you do a search for EDC Spikes or Tools, you will find that a lot of people do them now.
Brilliant. Have you got a website or email address? I'd love to get started after watching maybe 40% of your content (which is a lot). Like to shoot you and email. Not sure if this is the best platform to be giving away contact information? Maybe you have a FaceBook account? Wondering where to start, what project... guess what inspire you.
Just to be pedantic, the Double Footrope knot (ABoK# 697) and the Double Diamond knot (ABoK# 748) are two different knots.
Yes you are correct, but I also called it the Diamond Knot in the title so that people would recognise that it may be a knot they want to learn. I will pin your post to the tope for others to see.
one of the clearest demo of wall/crown and double diamond/footrope knot!! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Nope, I have a mess. Lol! great instruction, I'll have to keep replaying. 👍
Oh yes, I too did struggle with this one in the early days. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
I have been struggling to master this knot. Thankyou I came across your video and I now I can do it! Very clear directions.
Glad that it worked for you David. Thanks for taking the time to view and also make a comment, very much appreciated.
this is useful

Great job Johnny Debt, explanation is easy to follow...
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching and commenting.

Currently, the best quality cordage comes from Mikko Snellman, he does ship worldwide. If you want I can pass on his Facebook details?
thanks, I have found his contact info through one of your videos.

Hi, how do I send you a picture of my attempt at a bell pull (disaster at the end)?

this many-coloured rope in first part is killing me :)

Where do you get the tools for ropework? i.e. marlinspikes etc.
I personally got my tools from a guy in the States who makes them. If you do a search for EDC Spikes or Tools, you will find that a lot of people do them now.

Sorry no luck you'll have to be a bit more specific but then again I'm sure I can find them closer to home i.e. Mikko
You can link up with me here: facebook.com/john.peart.798 What sort of knots are you interested in?
If you link up with me on FB, I will show you various groups that may be of interest to you and your quest.
