You sir have a gift. I did this type of work for years. I was Navy and Coast Guard. Arthritis in my hands prevents me from this type of work now. Thanks for the pleasure I get from watching you work.
I'm not sure if I can do this the beginning looks very difficult ... but I just love to watch this handicraft .... and I really love the wonderful music ... Thanks so much
I couldnt find a way to message you privately. I LOVE your channel! You have taught me so much. I love your style bc I can still listen to music or have a conversation while watching you or following along. I actually made myself a fid, that's helped out alot! Thank you!!
What's the rule of thumb to know the length of rope you need per the item you're wrapping this particular design on? Wondering if I could alter it slightly to wrap a fender, and how to gauge the rope needed.
There is no reliable way of calculating that, too many variables. What I do is guestimate the length, add little to have enough. Measure the rope, tie my work and measure how much is left. Then I know for the next one.
How is there no mention in the description of the clarinetist? I’d sure like to know who that is, please. :) Tyvk 4 this video; I’ve never seen a vessel or carrier knotted in quite this way before; It was also nice to see somebody use a palm. A few years ago, I used a bit of shoe (sole) leather, and a bit of a bull moose rawhide from the last hunting season, to make one, as they’re just did not seem to be one anywhere to be found to fit a small woman’s hand. An old fisherman friend lent me his own giant-sized one to use as a pattern. The thimble portion was made from a copper penny that was hand-dimpled, and mounted on a carved wine cork. Putting together a pair of shoes just isn’t possible without one, at least not without a better skill set than my own. It turned out surprisingly well; my sister’s hands are exactly the same size and shape as my own, & she spends a whole lot more time than I do creating shoes and other leather goods, when she’s not teaching classes, renovating heritage houses, or in clinic. It just seemed right to emboss her initials and the date into it, and make a gift of it. A second, different one, is pretty much ready to be assembled. I wonder what else is on your channel…
The music is some random copyright free samples. I do make also sailmakers palms, in this video for fun from a moose leg: ua-cam.com/video/rI7tSTzqU2o/v-deo.html
@@mikkosnellman : Thank you very much! I certainly didn’t expect you to get back to me so quickly. This was the first of your videos that I’ve seen. I certainly enjoyed it, and expecting it to be a channel about making projects with rope, had no idea that you made palms as well. It will certainly be pleasure to check out your video. :D
It’s called a palm or a sailor‘s palm. You can make your own, if you’re handy. Have a look on the Internet and see if you can find a tutorial. Chances are local sailors, especially older men, may have one for you to examine. You can make one using that as a guide. If not, comment back and I’ll see about sending you some pictures and English-language instructions. I can try to do them in Spanish, but I am no Spanish speaker, so my best recommendation is that you ask me for a Spanish copy only as a last resort, and with the expectation that you will correct all my mistakes so that we have a good copy in Spanish. Lol.
Amazing!!!!! Don’t know, but I would like to attempt making one. What is that awl type tool? I have never seen one like that. Is it for fishing net making? The second needle is not familiar either. How does the rope stay stuck inside the needle? What is this tool called? Unique tools not seen in the USA.
Robby I would like to try this craft. I am in USA. I never heard of those tools. And I have done hundreds of differ NT kinds of crafts, including Ild traditions. But no netting or rope work. So I will try to find these tools online somewhere.
@@occipitalneuralgia2339 they are easy to find in the usa online. Europe is different: only in the UK. Google those toolnames and you'll find them easily.
@@occipitalneuralgia2339 start with a normal marlin spike. With that you can make a lot of decorative knots. But you can use a wooden tapered spike for that as well. For stuff with thicker rope, go straight to a swedish hollow fid. This will double as a spike. For smaller diameter ropes you could also just buy a splicing kit. These can also be used as a spike.
Would like to thank you and show you what I did with this technique. If you could send a way to post it to you I will send some pictures. If I may say it turned out very well and would like to share.
Mikko, my name is Steve Bryant. You are, at this moment, preparing an order I submitted to you a couple of days ago via email. I want to add to my order to include the amount of "ALL the types of Line" required to construct two (2) of these "coolers". I would also like to purchase the needle you used and the particular fid, if you have one. Would you please include the pricing for this, my most recent request, along in the estimate you are presently preparing for me?
@@mikkosnellman Ok, thank you. I made this last night, doesn't look as good as yours though, the bottom looks pointy. by the way, are you using 8mm thickness for your rope
You sir have a gift. I did this type of work for years. I was Navy and Coast Guard. Arthritis in my hands prevents me from this type of work now. Thanks for the pleasure I get from watching you work.
Thanks Mikko for your videos. Just finished the cooler, although I made it with 3 mm paracord. Thank you.
This is a work of art......I will try on a smaller can with thinner Rope/Cord Many Thanks for the Tutorial....
I'm not sure if I can do this the beginning looks very difficult ... but I just love to watch this handicraft .... and I really love the wonderful music ... Thanks so much
Thanks for the demo can't wait to try it.

Thank you for your kind words, it makes it all worthwhile.
Very nicely done. Thank you.
Merci Mikko, pour tous ces tutos que tu parrages généreusement avec nous. Dès que j'ai un peu de temps je m'yMets.
Awesome! I can see this as the solution to never having to buy a beer again at the local taproom. 🤔
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing it!!

Thank you for posting this great video. What is that beautiful background music?
Sorry, no idea. Just some random copyright free music I found.
Great video. I’ll be trying this soon.
Thank you for sharing. It's very nice work.
Mikko ese trabajo está increible gracias por compartir.
Like the Swedish fid but the the large fid needle that's on my list.
Thanks , the tutorial is cool and have a good soundtrack, indeed... :)

Excelente trabajo. Una pregunta. Cómo se llama el guante para empujar a aguja? O como hacerlo. Gracias

What is that massive needle and where do we get one?
Look for "lacing needle"
Where do you buy your rope
Beautiful, talent
Thanks for the inspiration. Now to get some line and make a few
I am always glad when people get inspired - Good luck!
Why is it "cooler"? How can it cooling a jar inside?
Wet the cooler and when water evaporates it cools down the can inside.
@@mikkosnellman Thank!

The awl is either a marlinspike. This one is not hollow.
Or a swedish (hollow) fid.
The needle is a splicing needle.

Great idea! I love that little swedish fish. Where can I pick one up?
The small swedish fids can be hard to find. I make them to order.
I definitely interested. I'll end you an email soon. Thank you for getting back to me.
wow cool😊✌
wow beautiful work! im from mexico im a beginner on it... where i can i find the tools that you use?
www.snellman.ax , I make these tools to order.
Would like to thank you and show you what I did with this technique. If you could send a way to post it to you I will send some pictures.
If I may say it turned out very well and would like to share.
Would love to see your work. You can post the pictures in our FB group "Ropeworks Group" or email me to mikko.snellman@ aland. net
Thanks for share.
How to determine the length of rope for a longer cooler? With a thinner diameter of rope.
There is no good way to calculate it in advance. I suggest that you take enough cord and when the first cooler is ready, you keep notes.
@@mikkosnellman thanks for your fast reply, Mikko ❤️
I could watch you work for hours. I love hands that create beautiful crafts.....
Que prolijida muy bueno
Thank you for sharing
Do you make and sale this awesome swedish fid ? Looking for one this quality for years
Yes I do, but to order only.
mikko snellman thank you for your answer, I sent you a mail.
Where do you get your fids at
:) snellman.ax/tools.html
ВОСХИЩЕН!
Nice,
prevent alcohol abuse-
Don't spill your beer!
Beautiful work. I was wondering, where do you buy your rope?
Making ropes and marlinspikes is my main business :)
Superr👍👍👍👍,cooox gozel.🌷

If you ordered via email, that's a better way to get ahold of him for order changes.
如何取得工具？有卖吗？
What the song at start called?
Can´t remember, just random copy free music from YT.
@@mikkosnellman Ok, thank you. I made this last night, doesn't look as good as yours though, the bottom looks pointy. by the way, are you using 8mm thickness for your rope
@@Freebird-12198 That would be 4.5mm flax.
@@mikkosnellman ahh ok, i was using 6mm hemp. Maybe that why it looked more bulky
@@mikkosnellman i thought it was 8mm i was using but checked again and it wad 6mm
👍👍👍👍👍
