Your video is great, and I really love the work you do, I agree, the music does overwhelm your instructions. I love the attention to detail! Thank you for sharing your videos! I will definitely be trying some of these projects :)
Thank you Mikko it is allways so inspiring to watch your videos. This Will be a projekt for the dark time during the winter . Looking forward to see your next video. All the best . Jim
As always, outstanding presentation(though I agree with a previous post, not really that the music was too loud, but it was loud enough to disguise what you spoke. As you sped the process in several places which, which of course sped up your dialogue, I didn't really think it mattered, but for those paying particular attention to what you said, it might be confusing. Another great illustration of why so many view you as an artist, in my humble opinion, is your attention to the aesthetic detail in the structure of the rope, i.e. adding the additional strand to fill the gap rather than twisting it tighter and bunching it up. A natural feel for the nature of the rope and structural integrity of knotwork in general. Years of history and tradition emulated in a simple aesthetic decision. Bravo! and Thank you...another fan from Maine.
I made one of these last night. I made a few mistakes and learned a lot. I used 12mm sisal, 2.5mm wire and in the end it was too short to do the nice knot in the candle holder so it is just a spiral. My manrope knot tightening leaves a lot to be desired. I failed to get it nicely dressed and tight. But I am keen to have a crack at another one and get better! Thanks for the great video.
Hi from the coast of Maine, USA. The countryside is the same here. And yes its getting cold out. Very nice job filming and discussing the process but for me the music was a bit to loud when you were speaking. Although the music was very good! Thanks for posting
Masterfully done. I had a question. I figure that different materials probably have different strengths and weaknesses, but if given the choice, what material rope do you use and why? The rope used here is flax, yeah?
It all depends on what you will be using the rope for and what qualities you are looking for. For projects like this, I use often jute, since it is easily available, good looking and quite cheap. For strength, I would use hemp or flax.
Wonderful! Thank you for the inspiration Mikko. One thing, could you put the names and titles of the music in the description of the video? Partly because I'm interested, but also so that you can avoid any copyright strikes in the future.

Pretty Neat!!

Thank you for the feedback. Note taken about the volume in music. There is always room for improvement.
Ola Mikko Snellman Thats wonderful
Very nice job that inspire me to do the same in France. I just begin but il like your work.
Thank you for sharing this, Mikko! You've given me inspiration for things to make for my family this Christmas. :)

Good for you. Sisal can be challenging. For neat result, use some softer fiber rope, like jute or hemp.

Thank you for the feedback. I´ll try to be more careful with the volume in the future.
Kiitos!
Nice
I love this project - difficult to hear you over the music though :-)

Thank you! I'll look him up
Super sir, can l will do it?
I'm cannected
Ive been tying for a couple of years now mostly in paracord. where do I find hard laid cord? cant seam to find it in the states
I do sell worldwide.
Mikko, maybe I blinked and missed it...what is the rope's diameter? Kiitos!
Hi Chris. Knot tying isn´t exact science, 10 - 12mm will do fine.
Maybe if you lose the music I could actually understand you.
Kill the music. Can’t understand what you are saying.
