Plant hanger

Coiling rope, cable, hose- basic way
zhlédnutí 218Před 3 měsíci
In this video we take a quick look at how to coil rope for storage/transport. Easy, basic method that is probably the most used. Happy...coiling!
DIY rope making top- the "poor man's" top
zhlédnutí 1KPřed 3 měsíci
In this video we make a rope making top. It is used to spread apart strands while twisting rope. It travels by itself through the rope, eliminating the need for a person to spread the strands using a paddle/divider. Due to not needing a lathe to make this top, it is quite a decent, simple tool. Happy rope making!
Simple knot board
zhlédnutí 355Před 4 měsíci
In this video we use easy to access supplies to make a decorative knot board. While you can always make more intricate knot boards, this one is a good starting point. And the results...are lovely. Happy tying!
Rope making
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed 4 měsíci
On this windy, cloudy day two friends attempt to demonstrate how rope is made. Naturally there are many ways, the important thing is to get a quality result at the end. And the result was a nice, hard laid, stiff cord- so mission accomplished! We used a 3 hook, geared rope making machine made by...us :). The yarn is linen weaving yarn. We also sell rope making machines on our website: zenropewo...

Отлично показано. Спасибо. P.S. Привет из Украины.
What is the name of the tool you use when you make this ring?
One of my favorite knots, the marlin spike hitch. Very useful application, thanks.
is the size arbitrary or is there a best practice? working on making my own rope machine from scratch now. Its simple but it works.
Honestly, size of the top does not matter that much. You are best to try it out and see if it works for you. There are few real rules in rope making, since we all use relatively custom machines and setups.
@@zenropeworks fair enough, i wasnt sure if it mattered if the top was larger than the hooks or something. Now to entirely overcomplicate it!
Excelente proyecto. Saludos desde México
Great project, thanks.
I'm moving on Thursday, I swear if the new place does not have towel holders,I'm making this,thanks for a brilliant video
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.
A beautiful piece! It uses knots that I'm very familiar with and have used many times before. I'm not sure about the 20 mins claim as it would take me much longer than that. But with me it's a pastime and so it doesn't matter how long it takes me. I'm a great fan of spiral hitching as it's so simple but highly decorative. I have covered many bottles with just that. The Footrope knot variation is interesting as normally I do it with 4 strands: Crown knot, Wall knot and then go around 3 times but in this one, you basically go around once but with 3 strands at the same time. Very interesting!
Love your comment! A lot of good points coming from experience. 20 min may indeed be a bit generous. Now I have an excuse to make a flogger and repent! :)
Well done! Always inspiring, thanks.
Soon or later, if one knots, the neighbor lady will ask to have a planter hanger made. Thank you for sharing. Nicely done. Wish you well.
Hehe! Depends on the lady, that may be a good thing! :)
This is genius!❤ Great idea to use pipe to weave the end through after to secure the whole mat (since there is no weft initially). 😊
Yeah, I love this style of a mat! Just comes together nicely. There is another variation called a sword mat which is similar, but this one is smoother.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing it.
I really like this style of a mat. Making the jig took a bit of trial and error, after that...smooth sailing :).
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇧🇷
Nice work. Easy to follow, great results. Thanks.
Cool asf !!!
Short and sweet, bravo.
Thank you for a great tutorial! This knot has never let me down, even after years of use.
I wish they taught this to people who post packages
Bravo.
Nice. I like the box too.
Красота 😊😊😊
nice video, but I've watched a number of these, and nobody tells you what to do with the 2 ends, when you're done.
Nice, thanks.
Comment for the algorithm.
Well done. I always enjoy your videos, thanks.
Gorgeous.
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.
Nice! I've got arthritis messing with my hands and loosening my grip. This makes for a great zipper pull since mine are old and often put up a fight, especially on my tech bag. Thank you for this knot!
This is indeed a good use for the knot! It is fairly large and flat, making it perfect to grip. I often use the Matthew Walker knot for zipper pulls, but I can see this one being a fancier replacement.
I often use snake knot or Solomon for the same thing. These are great in winter when wearing gloves, they make good key fobs too.
I use this one frequently.
Bravo.
Nice
.
You can also use it as a pedestal, display things on 🤗
Hehe! Oh you!
Well done, thanks
What length of rope do you need for the 3 pass version?
Hey! An additional pass would be 50% more from the 2 pass, so about 6 feet.
Nice. I need to make one. Thanks.
Thank you for making a wonderful video! What was the size of the linen yarn and what was the finished diameter? Have you also tried a cotton yarn?
The linen size was listed as 8 (approximately 500m per 100g). The diameter was roughly 3mm.
Very Good! Would be nice to do a video with a self traveling top
Indeed! Time to make one :).
1:22 I dont know why but it seems to me that knot tying is like an art to watch.. just amazing
Excellent, and well done video. Thank you 😎
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.
All well to you too!
Outstanding! That's a really nice machine. Well done. Thanks for showing it and the result.
Thank you for the kind comment! The machine is made by us and I agree, feels nice to use.
Are you selling Machines linke this?
@@deschd.4970hey! The machines will go up for sale soon.
Where could I get one? I would be so freaking happy😂
Do you plan on selling hard laid cotton rope ? Belfast cord is difficult to come by. Thanks.
We just made the first linen hanks of rope today. Hard laid and wonderful. These first batches are for personal use :). In the near future, cordage will be available. Need to figure out a nice looking packaging and coiling process. Happy tying!
@@zenropeworks When you have rope to sell, please let me know. Lots of young people like tying Mikko's lanyard. Thx.
Teach us more about making rope and cordage, I'm really wanting to give it a try, I plan on using some DMC embroidery floss, and there's a multitude of colors.
Good work. I hope to see the actual mechanism. Thanks.
Nicely done. Seems unlikely to fail. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.
Very nice. The three colors really help to follow the path, thanks.
It's a good one, thanks.
My favourite bend. Fun to tie, strongly resists being shaken loose, and looks good too
