I've been making knots for decade's. Now instead of tie/un-tieing. Your fantastic tutorial video I spend Far less time doing my bothersome 2-step. Cheers !
Hello Mark, I made two of these with out the decorative turkes head knot, one for each end of my hammock. I wanted something not so bulky yet strong, and it has worked very well. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks Marc I've been looking for something like this for ages. If you put a fid on each end of the cords before starting the 4 Starnded Round Braid it makes it easier and quicker, you also end up with a more even finish.
Wow, that 'decorative knot' was tough. Had to restart a couple times, and slow everything down, and rewatch each step about 10 times haha. But considering it's only like the 2nd paracord braid project I'm doing, I guess that's okay. Great tutorial! Thanks.
I'm a perfectionist. But I can see this taking 15-20 mins (or less)to tie. I over tightened the “twisted knot”. And I'm finding it difficult to create the 4-strand round braid due to very little slack cuz I didn't leave it loose like you did. Awesome video! I'll be making more of these and getting it down. Thanks Mark 😎
@@Paracordguild Right. Saw that. By adjustable I meant some kind of noose that can be adjusted to fi the wrist size of the dog walker. This way a person with a bigger arm can loosen the noose and a person with a thinner arm can tighten it. Not sure if noose is the right word here. The point would be to have some kind of loop that would be loose enough to feel comfortable around the wrist and at the same time it would be tight enough so that the leash would not come off the hand with a sudden dog bolt. I'm not sure whether what I am trying to describe is clear...
Thank you! I did it! :) :) :) I have watched many of your dog leash videos. I gave myself some extra cord. And I did it! SWEET. I had to redo the original loop 3 times. I had it too tight to begin with. No worries! I am a new follower. Times are limiting right now. No worries. It will all get better... Blessings and Re Jouir -Darlene :) :) :)
Hi Randy, I had trouble too, try slowing the video down to .5 speed and following along. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts at normal speed I tried it slower and that seemed to help. Also, try to see which strand you are following with the over unders and that can help as I got lost a few times! Good luck.
Good idea! Should be done relatively easily. The gaucho fan knot will look great in two colors. The braiding part will take a bit of trial and error to get a proper color combo. Mark
Your over under was confusing. Just when I would say over two, you'd say under one. Yet, I know that doing and following will make more sense than just watching.
yfelwulf no idea why you think that being left handed makes any difference in his explanation. It is confusingly worded, add to that he spins the knot making it much easier to get lost. Counting “over” at the bight pass is also misleading.
Im using leather...This is a blast when I get it.Im amazed at whomevr developed the paracord knots and braiding styles Im learning...is it an ancients art ?? Whats the origins??
Not a very good explanation of the Turks head part, very hard to follow. Struggling through it on my 4th attempt now and I think I’m going to find different videos to understand it better. Love the content all the same but can’t get this part down.

Don’t you mean lacing needle?
Thanks Marc for the really good instructions and videos. I have already copied a few of your knots. Greetings from Switzerland.
“Relatively simple lanyard.” I think knot!
Looks awesome! As a beginner I had better start with simple zipper pulls.
can i recommend the 2 strand square key chain its easy fun and make it to your own length

I really like the your technique in creating the loop. Have you ever used the same technique in creating a bracelet.
Lovely item and great tutorial. TIP if you want a split ring on this, put it on before you join the ends together ;-)

Hey Luke!
I like how you think. Practice makes perfect and your second one is going to be much better!
Mark
Wow! Handsome end result!
Good
Dracula knows his knots !
Hehe, a compliment and a burn. I'll take it :).
Really great video. Clear instructions, love the step by step.
It’s not fair that you make the decorative knot look so easy! Hahaha Thanks for the video!
a four strand braid with 2 strands ... brilliant Mark
Muchas gracias Mark por el diseño esta muy bueno pero un poquito difícil
Felicidades por tu creatividad
Your work is perfect congratulations 👏👏👏👏
Wow 👍👍👍, the knot made with repetition is amazing. You are the best artist!!😍
Thank you, you have helped with a new hobby
How do you get you cord to magically stay in place???!!!! I've tried this 4 times and can't get the cord to stay in the place it needs to be.
Looks awesome.
I'd think start from the right hand, and the left hand go over the right cord is easier then the right cord go behind the left.
how long was the cord to start with?
Brain :we can do this !
Hands : No! No way !
jajajajajajajaja is same for me
Marc... You are a great teacher... Thank you.
Lo que usted hace, son verdaderas y espectaculares obras de arte. . Gracias por enseñar de esa forma tan clara y precisa.
Awesome! Can it be made adjustable? so as to be able to adjust the loop size so that it can be used at the end of e.g. a dog leash among other things?
Hey!
I have a tutorial on an adjustable paracord dog leash. Take a look:

@@Paracordguild Ahh.. nice! Thanks for this! :)

A lot of work...excellent descriptions 🤓❤️
thankyou so much my brother mark. youre awesome
Thank you. I was able to follow your instructions. But I have to admit I struggled with, and passed watching the final part of the project, lol.
Hi would this be strong enough for a dog leash?
Thank you! I did it! :) :) :) I have watched many of your dog leash videos. I gave myself some extra cord. And I did it! SWEET. I had to redo the original loop 3 times.

Thank you for a kind comment!
Keep up the good work!
Very clear to understand well done
Just getting into this and learned how to make rope and this is a cool way of doing this
How many twists did you end up with at 12” because mine looks smaller and has about 20 twists?
Please let me know if I can order one from you
Wish you can make a video explaining how to recognize a turks head from a gaucho from etc....
I tried so hard to do the finishing knot and gave up. It was so confusing and I got discouraged. Was just hard for me to follow😞
Just order one from Amazon 🙂
I gave up too!
what length of rope is needed, for how much leash?
18feet - 20 feet made me a perfect lanyard for neck
I like this one. Very neat with just one strand. Thank you.
Very interesting.
Didn't try yet but do you think it's possible to transform an already done 4 strand RB into a 6 strand RB?
Awsome work
Thank you. I believe this will be strong enough to hang my hammock from. It's a very strong weave.
This one is wonderful! I was looking for a keychain for my sister and this is perfect! Thank you!
simple? :D was close to smash my labtop still trying the decorative knot
Maravilloso yo lo intentaré ❤
What's the name of this "knot"?
Turks head
I do apologize but two days now trying to make 7L3b Turks head no success. There has to be a easy way of going about this?
Hi Randy, I had trouble too, try slowing the video down to .5 speed and following along. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts at normal speed I tried it slower and that seemed to help. Also, try to see which strand you are following with the over unders and that can help as I got lost a few times!

Another great video sir. I want to try with 2 colors and see how it turns out.
Good idea! Should be done relatively easily. The gaucho fan knot will look great in two colors. The braiding part will take a bit of trial and error to get a proper color combo.
Mark
wow great. with this and my paracord bracelet i should be able to survive anything. geeks.
Wow so complicated....but very nice.
What was the starting length of the paracord?
Wondering the same... 12 feet???? Can't be right....
@@wretchpin Yep, 12 feet, he mentions that in the beginning when talking about supplies.
Why 'perdacorded', it simply is para cord? Very very nice though!
That knot at the end is extremely hard to follow lol I’ll get sometime in the near future I hope
Another way to finish it? (no Gaucho)
Simply Beautiful!!!
You need to not spin your work as you go. You need to keep in one spot. When you spin your work when trying to teach you screw up the watcher.
Thought the same
Your over under was confusing. Just when I would say over two, you'd say under one. Yet, I know that doing and following will make more sense than just watching.
He's left handed showing RIGHT HANDERS how to tie knots that's why his work looks confusing.
yfelwulf no idea why you think that being left handed makes any difference in his explanation. It is confusingly worded, add to that he spins the knot making it much easier to get lost. Counting “over” at the bight pass is also misleading.
@@tartarus216 Is that what he's doing? I've given this part 10 tries and still have never had the over and under counts match.
i did this with some blue shoe lace, its not as neat as urs but thx anyways :p ur the man
Magnifico trabajo Mark.
Im using leather...This is a blast when I get it.Im amazed at whomevr developed the paracord knots and braiding styles Im learning...is it an ancients art ?? Whats the origins??
Most of the knots and techniques used in paracord today are passed down from sailors' fancy ropework, dating back centuries.
@@alexandragatto Correct and there is also roots in the macrame field.
Molto bravo..., direi bravissimo...!! 👍👏⚓🚩
How many mm does it take?
Tem algum vídeo em português??
Muy bueno,,gracias...
Paracordede?
Love it.
Easy always means difficult!
7L3B Turk's Head, Attempt #62....lost me again.
Thank you very much!! I did it!
Belo trabalho.
Turks heads. Nice. I’m looking for a Turks head variation to cover the T shaped SS pipe on a friends verandah. Any suggestions?
very nice i like it
Very good
I’m not quite ready to punish myself.
I must be slow. I've watched this 20 times and I cannot get the 7L3B knot down at all.
Show 👍
So you made one😁
More than one :).
Your hands are still blocking the view of the laces
great ... thank you ❤️
Paracord nautical art.
