I love these methods of tying the Turk's Head. In my car, I have a mandrel with at least ten of these ready to go, and I'll put them on random things throughout my town at night just to spread the joy of fancy knotting!

Turks Head have frusrated me for years and for a long time I just gave up. Even though I had to tie it on a mandrel due to left hand disability, your tutorial enabled me to tie my first successful one!!! Thank you so much.

Wow, without speaking you have been able to teach me something I had been trying to figure out for years. You made it so clear what you were doing I can do it from memory now. Thank you!

Back in the day, learning knots from an old salt or exchanging knowledge about different knots was considered a currency. I consider the 9 min. 23 sec. watching this video time well spent. Now, off go I to practice earning my salary.

You are amazing Mikko! You have a way of making knot tying very clear. Though it might take me a few tries to get it right, I have now learned a new and better way to make turks heads. Thank you for sharing.

Great explanation and nice music. Found out, that’s it more easy for me to weave using my fingers instead of mandrel.

I do outside/down/inside, etc like you. When I turn my hand over I have 2 parallel lines. I pull inside over an push outside under to create 2 crosses on back side. Then I braid inside/outside, over/under, turn hand to complete knot. So turn crossing 2 backhand lines!

Really like the new "Spid" version of marlinspike, and the Graduate level of tying Knotting Turks Heads is very satisfying.

Amei esse vídeo parabéns

شكرا لك كثيرا انها عقدة جميله جدا

man i wish i had your video's when i was learning all these knots you make it so easy to follow

Can you tell me where to buy the cordage you are using? Can't seem to find it in marine shops.

Is this the third time I've watched this.... mesmerising. How much Mikko Snellman cord did you use?

Hi Mikko, Thanks for the video very well done. Would share what is the exact twine you are using for this? I want to do a turkish head at the end of my sailboat tiller and that looks perfect. Thx in advance. a

Great video! My question is this, other than trial and error, is there a method to know how many wraps you need, to cover the item you are working on? My concern is that while I may be able to guess at it, after the knot is tightened and shrunk down, it will be too small and won't cover as desired. Then I would have to untie the knot and start over, adding a loop and hope for the best. Very frustrating. Again, thanks for sharing all your knowledge and any and all help is much appreciated.

Great opening music. Please tell me the name of the tune and who is playing it. Thanks

is the 1st song Coldwater Tennessee? cause if it is i dig your take on it, and if not I'm curious what it is cause i dig it

I try to do this or some variation on my ship's wheel (for a top dead center) and I get lost every time, even on simple ones.

....come on fellas....If you keep encouraging him...he is just going to continue being a Big showoff on more of his videos.....( as always...poetry in motion)...Alright I'm finally fed up with using my Turks head form boards (jigs & pegs) many, Many different sizes from near credit card 60 mm x 75 mm for micro or 1 mm cord up to a 12 cm x 30 cm board for 5 to 27 bytes using 3mm cord. they all have been lovingly finished differently using boiled lens-seed oil to wet candy looking industrial Red enamel paint....Lately I have been entertaining the thought ...I may have more time invested in not learning the Knot tied on hand (understanding it) ...why?...knot...comfortable with new things...fear of failure...nope knot that...I'm an expert on failure...having failed at "Everything"in life so far....What is it.....Just pure unadulterated Laziness...to the point where I am appalled....embarrassed even.....Enough!....I am watching your tutorial once more.... but with some rope in my hands this time ....And if I fail...it's because of your video has failed and I hope _You!_ can live with_That!_....(wish me luck...I'm going in).....signed tony@nutsforknots.com

What is it used for?

Chulísimo!!! se podría hacer pulseras con ese nudo?

Loved the video, but ... what size line is used in this?

Great vídeo for how longitud have you Been making them.

I'm trying to see, but the titles are in the way.

why do you put the writting on top of the work?

ممتاز

Which material od rope are you using

nic

....damn !...I knew it...it is as difficult as it looks...if I can master the Star knot by dumb luck...I should be able do this by willing it so and adding in the _Power_ of _Positive_ thinking....(but my left hand seems to be my main problem)...the whole left arm is only attached for a counter balance. So I can go straight down the road while walking....No fault found with your instruction. Really that goes without saying.You remain a source inspiration for this Old land lubber...damn it all.....tony@nutsforknots.com.....

My fingers are too short for doing this😥

do not make an inscription on top of the image, and do not make unnecessary movements this is shit, not a lesson
