Video 3: Creating a Turks Head Knot with Leather Lace

[@optimusprimesqrt6]

Robert is a great teacher....I bought all his videos 20 yrs ago and that's how I got started learning how to tie knots.......take a piece of pvc and wrap it with cork it works pretty good. you can use various dia. of pvc. also try making a mandrel and pins. they work great for larger pieces.....have fun....

[@michaelseger903]

I for one did learn from this excellent video. Thank you for taking the time to make it.

[@Jarhead44706]

I've struggled with getting this knot down. You have presented how to tie it perfectly. Thank you for doing this

[@garywhite5639]

Thanks mate, that's the best tutorial I seen on knot tying, you have the right approach to teach. Thanks from Australia.

[@tazccl]

Excellent video think you for making it. You explained the process perfectly, thank you.

[@angrylittledwarf]

This was the clearest explanation of this method I have ever seen.
How do you size the knot for different diameters?

[@makersleathersupply1220]

You have to add bights to make the diameter larger.

[@angrylittledwarf]

Thanks

I really needed this knot in my life I’ve been doing everything to finish off round braid from a bow serving knot to epoxy. Can’t wait for the rest of the series.great video. Thanks

Thanks for another great video Aaron

[@terryleach6204]

Dude! I have been looking for this video for a long time. I have a Robert Black video, but not this one. Not having seen "this" video, but being familiar with his teaching style, I feel as though for have recreated it. Thank you so so much.

Thank you! I finally get it now!!!

[@judithwright5084]

Awesome 👍

[@johnearhart8811]

Excellent

[@randynelson4718]

This would be a cool ring. Or even the multicolor. Is That's possible?

[@makersleathersupply1220]

You would need to tighten in on a base of some sort such as a wooden or metal ring.

[@bobm8128]

If we want to do a Spanish Ring knot, do we start it on the mandrel and will we be able to tighten it down like the Turks Head knot?

[@makersleathersupply1220]

@@bobm8128 yes, it can be done that way

[@garywhite5639]

How do you know how thick to cut your string to cover your thickness of your project you are putting the knot over, does circumference come into it.

[@makersleathersupply1220]

@@garywhite5639 mostly just experience can do this best. I have not figured out a mathematical way.

[@janboogaerts1616]

it's actually a 6 bight 7 part turkshead

[@henryschilling1106]

Would this work on a semi flat surface, like making a grip on a handle for a crescent wrench?

[@makersleathersupply1220]

Yes it will

[@henryschilling1106]

@@makersleathersupply1220 Cool, as soon as those kits are back in stock I'll be getting one.

[@davidjenks7392]

Aaron, How long should I cut the original piece of lace?

[@makersleathersupply1220]

28" is plenty to start this one.

[@rockleatherworks3154]

Aaron, thank you, you are such a great instructor, must be the military in us cause I need to see to do as well can’t read and do it. Tks Brother
