      When lacing the shoes, for that last hole instead of going across to the other side go down through the last hole with the laces on each side, then across and under that last loop that was created on each side. From there you can tie the shoes as shown in the demonstration.

    • @dezwujie
      @dezwujie Před 3 měsíci

      @@kennethpaschall6811 globe knots can be formed into a sphere whereas Turks head knots typically cover something cylindrical (or mostly cylindrical like a handle). Globe knots are really good to tie around steel ball bearings or wooden beads to make a great end of a key fob. Tying them is really similar though. Many of the differences come in the tightening & finishing steps.

      After looping over two or three pegs give a pull downward on the knitted section to tighten it up as you work. If it's still loose, it could be that the pegs on your spool are spaced too far apart for the cord you're using.

    • @Stormdrane
      @Stormdrane Před 8 lety

      In the video example, I set the two pins at 1 3/4" apart, but you can set them closer on a smaller spool for a tighter pattern, you really have to experiment with different spools and numbers of pegs and spacing to find how tight or loose your personal preference is. Paracord from different vendors can vary in size somewhat, so one brand may end up working out tighter/looser than another on the same spool. There are some vendors that sell paracord spools, like Jig Pro Shop and ExtremePara, for those that don't want to make their own. ;)

    • @Stormdrane
      @Stormdrane Před 8 lety

      You can tie this knot with three colors, just make the knot with one color first, then follow the pattern from start to finish with the second color, and again with the third color. The excess cord at start and end can be trimmed and tucked after you tighten up the knot. To tighten, you gradually work the slack out, from start to finish with each color. Don't try to do it all in one pass, just work some slack out of each color in order, and go back and do that again, from start to finish. It may take two or more times to get the knot tight, keeping it straight and lined up as you work, very time consuming, but worth it in the end. ;)

      In 'The Ashley Book of Knots', it is referred to as knot #778, a two-strand stopper knot. Many knots in the book are simply given a number, and there are many different two-strand stopper knots, and some knots go by several different names depending on the source, so in this instance, it's just #778. ;)

    • @Stormdrane
      @Stormdrane Před 8 lety

      +khairoen The amount needed can change for each pattern/design that is done including such variables as diameter of particular cord you're using, different types of buckles/clasps/closures, and how tight or loose you tie a particular knot, as well as if you trim and melt/sew/glue or tuck the end strands too. There are folks that share specifics for patterns they tie, like in this video: czcams.com/video/OhLsR4a9dEs/video.html But, to narrow it down, I've found it best to just tie a short sample of a pattern with a known length of cord, see how much you used to make an inch or two of that pattern out of the length you tied it with, then multiply that by what you need a finished length to be, and add in extra to account for buckles, loops, core strands and whatnot so you don't come up short in the end. It's a very mathematical situation if you break it down, and I'm no mathematician, lol. There are turk's head calculators online too, that can figure out lengths based on leads, bights, core diameter you're tying around and cord size too: upstream.50webs.org/turkshead/turks.html
