STILL the BEST tutorial around to learn Turk's head knots and pineapple interweaves! Bruce Grant's book made no sense to me as it uses a different approach than this, and it is very confusing, but this makes a lot of sense.
Of all the Herringbone tutorials I've watched, yours has to be top shelf. The narration and focus of the "flow" of the knot, vs. the "over x, under y" rote method is excellent advice. Bravo Zulu, m8!
I've gotten them down by now, but I know a lot of people struggling and I want to say there are a number of very explanatory videos out there, but yours is the most comprehensive. A pleasure to watch and listen to.
Thank you for the wonderful explanation. You have a great understanding of the knots and the patience to explain in a manner that's understandable by everyone. (At least by me, I was confused until now). Thanks again 🙏🏽.
Thank you for actually explaining how a turk's head is tied and why. I recommend you put these multi-part videos into a playlist so people can play them all in a row.
hey i noticed you corrected the video..... on a type 1 pineapple the bights are nested in the casa knot and the herringbone are nested outside the casa knot unless you are doing type2,3,4 etc etc.... then it's a whole different ball game.... great vid btw
Tyrell Laney,Sr there is a relationship between mandrel diameter, cord size and length, and knot size. For this knot, tied with 550 cord, yes 3/4 is a good size.
I've had Bruce Grant"s book for 10 years. I could never get anything out of it but the Spanish ring knot. And if I remember right he even got the diagram wrong on that. I think after a life time of having a hard time getting the old timers to show him anything he decided to put together a deliberately worthless encyclopedia.
tyvek05 There is a mistake in the Catherine knot. I know it because I fought with it bitterly until I got it. And as Ron Edwards he doesn't know the difference between a Pineapple knot and a Herringbone knot - which is a mistake many make. Otherwise I would say it is very resourceful book with mostly very good drawings. But one should also say it can be a bit hard for absolute beginners.

Thank you. After years of trying to learn the "feel" of this knot, I finally learned how to tie this.

Thanks for taking the time to explain the fundamentals of this knot. Good video!
Great explanation of each step to form a complete understanding of the structure of the knot. Thankyou.
Excellent tutorial thank you!
It's so nice to see someone teaching these knots correctly... Bruce Grant would be so happy... Kenn
Excellent videos, you mentioned braiding leather and rawhide!
Do you have a books or suggestion so I may have a reference for rawhide braiding?
Your tutorials are great! Please create more?

Semper Fi to your scarlet & Gold!
New sub. Thanks for sharing.
Best vid out there!Would be great to see a 4byte 5 part doubled or as some call it a woggle?
Good job!
Me gusta mucho
Where did you purchase your duds at
Semper Fi Brother.
How long are the pieces you started with??
On this knot they were about 5'. The mandrel I used is a piece of 3/4 schedule 40 PVC pipe.
Thanks this the best tut on this knot I''ve seen.....
If someone would send me a video of how to braid a rawhide sheath for a folding knife, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Maurice Mason what is the ideal length of a mandrel in inches or is just a ft. good enough to work with?
Tyrell Laney,Sr whatever is comfortable for you. I usually care more about diameter than length.
Maurice Mason so is 3/4 a good diameter to go with?
Tyrell Laney,Sr there is a relationship between mandrel diameter, cord size and length, and knot size. For this knot, tied with 550 cord, yes 3/4 is a good size.
Knottactical Thanks u only use 550 cord @ the moment
