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.
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.
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.
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!
The opposing explanation is great. Very hard to understand Turks heads, so your key and opposing idea is excellent. Thank you.
Not really my idea “per se” stole it from Mikko Snellman … but that’s how I finally came to understand how to have a reference to tie it properly

Glad it was a help … I just explain them the way I understand them

I agree on all points … good suggestions …

Thaks for share
Good, clear, easy to follow tutorial. Thanks John.
I always learn something from your videos! Thank you!
Great instructions for tying a beautiful knot. Thanks!
Nicely done John. Thanks!
Fuente de inspiración para mi.
He aprendido mucho y sigo aprendiendo, gracias por tus tutoriales e instrucciones.
Un saludo 🪢👋🏼🪢
The mandrel may accept pins in a more resilient way if it were made of a smaller, solid hard core with the cork wrapped around two or three times.
Yeah there needs to be more cork … sheesh … I was in a bit of a hurry after bailing on that hideous Bellrope 😂
Muito bom o video mestre..
How would I add more bites but no more parts? I need at least 7 bites because I’m using 275 paracord.
Totally different Turkshead
Understand that the Turkshead is the only chapter in ABOK with 20 pages … they have been studied at MIT … rather complex subject
