Paracord Person keyring
A great little project for people of all ages, I first made one for a friends son as he had the same coat as his friends and they kept mixing the coats up, the little man fitted well on the zipper pull and helped tell the coats apart. Also they are a great keyring or toy. I would suggest adult supervision when letting children work on this project.

This is a two Stand Version of the Matthew Walker knot, not possible to tie in a three stranded rope like the Full Matthew Walker knot, but looks good in a Lanyard. But who was Matthew Walker? the Story has been repeated many times, but I'm going by what's written in the Ashley book of Knots (Page 118) In a notable turn of events, a sailor who had been sentenced to death by a judge was ultimate...

I was thinking of adding some activities that you can do with children, or to be honest I had such a great time I would suggest giving it ago what ever your age is. Here is a introduction video on how to make the basic God's eye or originally called 'Tsikuri' and 'Ojo de dios'. Also there are so many different types of god's eyes out there so if this has sparked your interest there is much more...

A Lovely little decorative Knot, I think it works better practically in a ring formation than flat as with only 3 bights on the outer edge, they can lift. I would suggest if you are going to us this as a mat, I would sew the edges so they don't lift. But decoratively, do you agree that it's a hansom pattern. So what do I mean by a 3 Bight 4 Lead Turks Head? well "Turks head" is the name of the ...

Building on the Figure-of-Eight, these two knots give bulkier versions of the knot. What's a Stevedore? pronounced " Steve-a-dor" is a person employed at a dock to load and unload ships. Ashley (Ashley book of knots) says that the Cargo block was bigger than the ordinary tackle aboard ship so required the bulkier knot. The stevedore #522 in the Ashley Book of Knots has two extra turns than the ...

The single strand Diamond knot is a decorative Knot that can be tied in a lanyard. This works best with paracord in my opinion. As this knot is a non slip knot, its great to make a fixed loop and not have the fear of tightening like a noose. I have used this knot at the end of Lanyards when attaching a tool, a key or a clip for an ID pass. Like all knot work, I would suggest competent adult sup...

I'm revisiting the Ocean Mat because since I first made a video I have learnt to make it into a ring shape, which gives this lovely loop in a plat/braid pattern. Some one described the knot to me, so I set out to tie it with a little difficultly as a Turks head and made the loop as I went. I later found a much easier method in Chas L. Spencer's, 'Knots, splices and Fancy Work' (p151). It is des...

In this video I will show how to make the two Turks head knots using different methods then arrange them to make a version of the Poppy that can be worn for remembrance. In the Video I have used quite thick Paracord so it is easier to see and follow, but the one I wear is with a smaller thickness (think about 2-3mm), but its up to you what you want to use. A few years ago I made one to wear on ...

I know I have done this Knot before, but this is a different way of tying the 3 lead 5 bight Turks head. Hopefully it is clearer to follow. It starts with a Figure of Eight knot, which is then manipulated to form the ring to use as the start of the Turks head knot, add a couple of weaves and done, I have doubled and tripled the knot, but if your happy with the process then you can stop before I...

For this video I am tying the Figure-of-eight Lashing, it is for joining one end of three poles together, and can be used to make a tripod shape. this lashing is great to learn for a pioneering project. I have used string and short Dowling for this video to demonstrate how to tie, make sure you use appropriate cord or rope for your project. I am filming a short series of videos based on the kno...

This week is the Back Splice, a splice which is started with a crown knot then spliced back down the rope, the ends are either tapered or the ends are cut. this is a more permanent way of finishing the end of a rope than whipping but is more bulky, but less bulky than a temporary stopper knot. I am filming a short series of videos based on the knots taught in Scouting. (UK) This will cover a mi...

There are many ways to coil a rope, this is the best way (in my opinion).Also I think it's an easy one to remember. So in this video I use the standard 'Z' laid rope (I quickly explain the difference with 'S' laid rope), Z laid rope is coiled clockwise, if you had S laid rope then it would be coiled anti-clockwise. At one point I'll do a video about the different methods for the different types...

I was shown a picture of this knot a couple of years ago and asked if I know how to tie it. I gave it ago and came up with a way of tying it, when I decided to make this video I started researching more into it, I cant find it in any books but did find another way of tying it other than my way. ( see How to Make a Fleur-De-Lis Knot by TIAT). My way might me a little slower but I think easier to...

This week is the Eye Splice, this is for making a permanent loop in the end of a rope. When tucking the strands under and over, natural rope three tucks would be enough, but synthetic rope need between five and seven tucks. I have made up this rope with three separate coloured strands, hopefully this will help with you following along. Fids can be a very useful tool for this splice but not nece...

A great little activity to keep you and your little ones busy, maybe a scouting activity of forest school. if you make it out of Macramé cord it is softer on the skin and also bio degrade unlike the manmade fibre's, great if kids loose them. This is one of the first knots I learnt as an adult, I added it to my Leatherman's multi tool to help take it out of my belt holder. This can be a very ver...
