- Make your own lacing needle fast and cheap, no special tools needed. (Also called as paracord fid...)
Like this video? Buy me a cup of coffee to help out making more! ko-fi.com/rope...
I love your old school attitude, from the sanding to the way you made the thread fit into it, with a little bit of wood....lol. 👍
Thank you Mr Snellman for keeping the sailors art alive, and passing on the knowledge. Like many arts, stone masonry, carpentry (dovetails, tenons, etc), these arts are seen as no longer useful, I've seen modern riggers who couldn't tie a knot to save themselves, tools sent up on a message line attached with electrical tape. Good luck from Australia.
Thank you !! A lacing needle! I didn’t feel right calling it a fid, I made my own fid and marlin spike while sailing aboard a traditionally rigged Baltic trader. I was going to make a lacing needle on the lathe from a large “gutter nail” until I found my old palm pilot stylus which already has a threaded end. I may still turn my own just for fun.
Thanks again.
Brilliant! I am so tired trying to find lacing needles in the sizes I need (and then affording them). All through the first part I kept wondering how you were going to do the inside threading. That was the epiphany for me. So simple but so ingenious!
You can also use the tips of the sharp tip metal darts, I came to find, due to inability to access anything else
love your slow, calm, useful tutorials.
Glad you like them!
Im going to make a few micro ones 1mm with 3mm brass predrilled round rods,great to see one made before iwas about to get the tap n die set out,marvelous now i just need a wood screw,saved me a bit of time there.looks like i also finish the epoxy double syringe stinky glue!! thank you for sharing ox
Brilliant video! Many thanks for sharing... Saves my tons of time searching the right size!
Thanks for the video and a great tip to make a lacing needle.
Sir, with this video you solve a problem I had a long time ago. Thank you very very much.
Señor, con este video me resuelve un problema que tenía hace tiempo. Muchas muchas gracias.
You are most welcome!
Honestly this video deserves more likes lol
I’m so happy I’m here. I love knot working. 😀😊😊
That's brilliant! I love your sense of humor too :)
GREAT JOB YOUNG MAN SO GLAD TO FINALLY BE ABLE GET TO SEE YA UP CLOSE. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO LAUGHT. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU SOON. I LOOK YOU GOT IN THE DIRTY HANDS🤣🤣
Absolutely phenomenal
I like your ideas about tools.
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing.
its really nice to put a voice to your face ,that was a great tutorial ,could you show us how to make a swedish fid i think thats what they are called ,thanks a lot
maybe someday...
Lol
Brilliant! And nice to hear your voice too. 👌
Fantastic tutorial! I have to try one day. Thank you, Sir!
Genial...justo lo que yo quería.! Mil gracias por compartir...!
Fantastic video with great directions..
Thank you
The threading method did the trick for me. I'm preparing to use the tubes of a collabsible extension for making some lacing tools ... I saw a design called 'fid' that was designed to penetrate accept and capture the cord with a narrowing at the end for friction to extract the cord. I'm not sure that it shouldn't be called a 'feedle'
Thanks for teaching me something new , I gave you a Thumbs up , I'm number

Bloody brilliant! Thanks for that.
A very useful tutorial! Thank you.
Very cool , man. Tks for tutorial. Greetings from Brazil! \o/
Very nice and simple as well as useful. Awesome! 👍🏻
Nice to hear you speak. I would love to see more how-to videos like this. Particularly making brass and steel fids, presumably on a lathe?
All requests are welcome.
Brilliant. Well done Mikko.
Tyvk, Sir! I have been contemplating cutting the end of a knitting needle to try to make one.
I’m rather glad not to have to part with it. :-)
Excellent! Well Done. 👍🏻
I am brasilian.
Tank you, so much...
Thank you Mikko. ✌
Great video , Cheers ! Thanks
Thank you. Might be adaptable for split braid needles.
Yes, just add grip function and handle.
Outstanding I think I can do that. Thanks much.
Very helpful thanks.
Great Work
thanks for sharing i subbed,..none of my local hobby stores carry lacing needles for 550 paracord
And you are not limited to their design. 😁
I think I have a discarded wind chime tube just the right size. There is nothing to be ashamed of having working hands, it is something no longer seen in most of the new generations
thank you , very useful
Thks
Wonderful. |Thank you.
Very interesting!
Made me a subscriber!
Thank you so very much for making this video mate ! Have been searching where to buy one of these needles to repair my goalie pads ❤
Very nice. Just for the record those aren't dirty fingers, they are "working" fingers. Don't know if you can really trust clean fingers😀
I made mine from a long Chicago screw
Amazing! Could you possibly do a video on the pineapple knot?
I think there are several videos on that topic made already, but will think about it.
Wonderful...!!!!
Great video. Two things: 1) His accent makes me think he knows his stuff 2) He sounds like StrongBad
Nice. I wonder if a .22 brass cleaning rod would work?
Yes, it does.
IT SPEAKS!!!
nice
Me gustan esas manos de verdadero artesano!!! (y aclaro que no me gustan los hombres). LIKE!
Modern knitting needles make good lacing needles as well. They come in all sizes from about 1mm up and have a pre-made point on them. You just have to man up and be seen buying knitting needles or convince a female to buy them for you.
Yes, I use them for giveaway needles. The only challenge without proper tools is to get a hole in dead center for threads.
I should think that old worn out cleaning rod pieces could be used also, and one end is already threaded.
Yes, they are also about the right size.
You finish with the tag line "Easy as pie" and it is used exactly that way in English, "couldn't be easier" As someone who actually makes pies...I might even say "Easier than pie" lol. And I understand being uncomfortable speaking another language, although in my humble opinion, a measure of pride should also follow, no matter how poorly you believe you express yourself. I can only speak and read in one.
True, Mr Snellman speaks better English than many of the people who were born here where I live in the US.
I didn't know you talked haha
Talking in foreign language makes me feel uncomfortable...
@@mikkosnellman you did a fantastic job
@@mikkosnellman I know the feeling but you do a very good job at it.
That not splicing fid those are marlin spike
so much of a screamer in the beginning!!
Don’t put adverts in the middle of the You Tube as I will never use your product again.
Unfortunately I don´t get to choose the possible adverts, TH-cam does that.
Madam, I believe you!
When I was watching, the adverts were for moustache wax and nose hair trimmers. ;-)
Now it's Nigel Farage - EVEN WORSE!!!
Too bad. The videos in my coffee shop are though ad free.
We know how to use the fucking epoxy….just show us how to make the damned fid!
Here´s how you make a fid ;) th-cam.com/video/Z11C9a8z5TE/w-d-xo.html
