Bellrope keyfob - tutorial. Matthew Walker knot, Crown sennit, Footrope knot. Like this video? Buy me a cup of coffee to help out making more! ko-fi.com/ropeworks Cords and spikes: www.snellman.ax
I can watch you do this all day. You are an excellent teacher. You move slowly with precision, direction and fluidity so no detail is missed. Excellent showmanship and work.
Well Done! You are a natural "Story Teller/Teacher" with your hands. I have only tied simple/practical knots, but have always been aware of the more decorative variety. Been seeing this combination on carry-out restaurant satisfaction service bells. The music will help me through the many hours it takes for these hands to learn this combination.
Great video! I followed along and made a bell pull, made it a bit longer than shown. This was my first time doing rope knots, and it turned out great! Easy to follow tutorial, thank you so much!
Immensely enjoying this, sipping my coffee and learning from you. I need to make this knot for a ships bell my seagoing grandfather left me. Thank you for sharing.
This is a fantastic video easy to follow even for a novice like myself. please keep up the excellent work as I am looking forward to more knot tieing tutorials from you
I first became interested in knot tying in the '60s when I was a Boy Scout. I was probably the youngest person on earth to master the sheepshank and bowline, hahaa! In the' 70s it was macramè, and then there was a dead spot until 550 Cord was invented, and I've been tying everything from fobs, to lanyards, to belts, to even jewelry and gemstone mountings. All this is to say that this project is one of the coolest I've ever seen and, it has earned you another subscriber. Thanks for sharing it!
The result is Incredible Beautiful , the way You presented is easy to follow , all we need is Patience and some of Your materials . Thank You for sharing from Your experience . I will tray to make some . Please keep us on post . I subscribe of course (LOL)
I love knots and I love art, and you're a one in a million talented artisan! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with us. It made my day! You have gentle surgeon's hands! I love your handmade rope... Truly one of a kind and absolutely gorgeous! All I wanted to do was find a nice knot pattern to make my son a leather bracelet for his wedding! Glad I stumbled onto your tutorial because I got way more than I bargained for! Thank you so much!
Your work shows in your hands! It's from doing what we love. I've designed & made jewelry for the better part of 50 years. I can't remember having refined, delicate hands. I always have broken nails, and rough, scarred, punctured, coarse hands, and I wouldn't have them any other way. We've earned that worn look. They are a reflection of a lifetime of creating. When people ask "What do you do?" The answer is, "Whatever it takes!" Best to you!
Well said! I'm trying to make my hands look a little nicer for the wedding, but you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear! I just finished making all the wedding jewelry for the bride, her Matron of Honor, her 3 daughters, her mother, and I still have to make my son a leather wedding bracelet! I'll get there. Thank you for sharing your beautiful work! It inspires me!
It seems complicated but following the steps of the video patiently is possible. The most complicated thing is to adjust but it looks beautiful. Thank you very much and greetings from Panama. Parece complicado pero siguiendo los pasos del vídeo con paciencia es posible. Lo más complicado es ajustar pero queda hermoso. Muchas gracias y saludos desde Panamá.
I have made three of these so far. They are getting better. The Mathew Walker knot is a lot harder in cord as compared to paracord. Thanks for the inspiration.
Paracord is very easy to practice with but the result when made in twisted cord is more beautiful in my opinion. Also when using twisted cord remember to tighten knots gradually one cord at the time.
I haven't attempted this yet but, between the excellent video and reading all the comments, I learned quite a bit. I learned that an alternative to paracord would either be braided polyester or cotton rope if you weren't able to hook up with Mikko to purchase his very own hand made hard laid linen...I believe it was linen. I think his website is currently down. To tighten one strand at a time with twisted line is something I also learned. This becomes real obvious during the MW knot portion.. Also, his method of forming the crown sinnet is tighter from the very beginning when compared to most other videos. Most others are very loose while, each and every time, Mikko leaves a pronounced loop at the onset to accept the fourth strand to pass underneath. Yes, very inspirational videos Mikko. Thank you kindly.
Thank you for the feedback. My website is up and running, just can not take in any more orders at the moment. My wait list became too long. Will open for new orders as soon as possible.
Tried this using braided cord and six strands. The Footrope knot had me tied in knots for days but I eventually created something passable for a first attempt. I have searched a few local hardware stores for decent line but everything is either paracord, braided nylon line, twisted sisal, or twisted polypropolene. Thanks, Mikko.
excellent video work. I was able to keep up by pausing. you covered all the angle needed to follow along. I just need to find some rope like this, I'm in the USA and not sure you deliver this far
Great video Mike, Love the way you twist the two 3 strands into one six strand. I've been trying but can't get your technique down. Would love to see a video of just that process. I've looked on the web and there doesn't seem to be anyone doing it. Look forward to more vids from you. Your an excellent knottier.
So glad to see a man who shares the same passion as am few of us old sea dogs , my question is the tool that you are using I know it is not a spike nor is it a pricker can you please enlighten me,otherwise a great video
I keep watching this one - as it will be the first one I try when I get my cord from you. My Matthew Walker knots need some practice first. Anyway - I realized that the music is used in the movie The Deerhunter. Or at least I think it is.
I’ve been practicing decorative knotting since I was five when my grandfather first introduced me to it over sixty years ago. Your videos are so well done and enjoyable to watch. Thank you. Could you please tell us, your viewing audience, who you’re using for the soundtracks. Thank you again.
Me gusta todo lo realizado a mano ..pero me encantaria hacer unas cabulleras; para una hamaca grande que hice...tejida a mano..de 280 de largo por 240 de ancho.....gracias ..bello y util todo lo que he visto...
great teaching, very good not to have continuous talking and repeating in a video, for me it makes it harder to learn. Best to learn by watching not listening
Interesting. I grew up with the old school method of knot teaching, i.e. lots of talking and mnemonic devices. "The rabbit comes out of the hole and goes around the tree ..." I think that works better for me, at least for memory retention. But the guitar music on this video sure is nice.
Nice! Tried it in paracord. Love the challenge but tying the footrope knot with paracord turns out awful every time. Being landlocked and (relatively) broke, its hard getting quality anything except paracord. I hope this channel is around for a long time.
Thank you for your feedback. In my opinion hard laid cord gives the most beautiful result but you might want to try some braided polyester. It´s relatively cheap but harder than paracord.
The braided polyester worked well, I had a much better result and the local Home Depot (ridiculously large hardware store) has it in stock. I agree with the hard laid cord being the best. Thanks for the info!
This project prompted me to spend an evening knotting after quite a long hiatus. One thing that interested me was your use of a netting shuttle to tie constrictor knots. I was immediately off to Amazon to order one. What is your favorite small stuff for constrictor knots?
Though I like using natural materials otherwise, for constrictor knots I often use tarred nylon. It holds the knot well and is strong enough to tighten properly.
This is an incredible tutorial! Thanks for sharing your obvious talent Mikko!
I can watch you do this all day. You are an excellent teacher. You move slowly with precision, direction and fluidity so no detail is missed. Excellent showmanship and work.
Excellent tutorial. Always wanted to make a bell rope, and always wanted to know the Matthew Walker knot. Both - Done! Stoked.
That is an extraordinarily impressive knot! Thank you for sharing this video!
Beautiful work!!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Followed along with this one. A patient and clear example, thank you!
Thanks for this very comprehensive tutorial, sir!
Wow. Very pretty. I love the detailed demonstration/instructions. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!Excellent work.
That was excellent. That is probably one of the best demos I have seen in all the years I have done knotting. Very Good!
Great tutorial, I'll be watching out for you from now on. Thanks.
Tanks, a good knot and delicious music.
Well Done! You are a natural "Story Teller/Teacher" with your hands. I have only tied simple/practical knots, but have always been aware of the more decorative variety. Been seeing this combination on carry-out restaurant satisfaction service bells. The music will help me through the many hours it takes for these hands to learn this combination.
Keep on knotting!
Nicely done. Love the use of the constrictor knot too.
Beautiful design, nice music, great presentation... Thank you Mikko!!
Bravo, absolutely awesome video. I love the keyfob..
Great video! I followed along and made a bell pull, made it a bit longer than shown. This was my first time doing rope knots, and it turned out great! Easy to follow tutorial, thank you so much!
Thank you for the feedback. Keep on with the good work!
Simply beautiful. Thank you.

I remember now whe he wrote "constrictor knot" the constrictor boa snake
@@yuribezmenovthegreat4705 The soundtrack remembers me of The incredible Hulk-Lonely Man Theme, from 80s th-cam.com/video/1d4C1ZQKmw4/w-d-xo.html

Thank you for your kind comment. Ans sorry to tell you but my hands are very ragged from all the ropework :)

fue mi primer trabajo que aprendi con Mikko mil gracias
Muy buen tutorial y música maravillosa. Gracias.
pueden decirme que hilo utiliza? parece nylon, del tipo que se utiliza para colgar la ropa, no?

Yes, finding a good line is not too easy. That is why I work these days as ropemaker :)
very nice to learn from a master.
Thank you, but this is not so difficult, you need just right attitude and some time.
Beautiful!
Really beautiful

Thank you. Glad you like it!
Just one request can u pls share the size of rope to start, it will very helpful for me.
@@maheshpawar3224 For this one I used 2 x 1.2meters of 3.5mm cords.

Wonderful job. Can you please show us an analytical video on how to make a rope ball for throwing the rope in the harbor. Great!!!!!
Rope ball? Look for Monkey Fist I guess.
Excelente!!!.
Beautifull

Thank you. Exactly my point. And you don´t need any language skills.
Por que no se habla en español
A lot of presenters on knotting videos talk too much. Sometimes less is more.

How would a person accomplish the "twist" at the very beginning with braided cord, my friend?
Amei! Lindo!!!
