I tied one of these about 3 years ago and have been using it for my work keys, which are in and out of my pocket frequently. I apologize for not leaving a comment then. To everyone hesitant about tying this I say buy a spool of laid twine and go for it. I had dabbled in paracord, but nothing like this. It took some practice, starting with a couple short ones, to practice the knotwork and transitions, and to start getting a plan for how long each section should be. Play an audio book, a movie you've seen before, music or just silence, and find your zone. Seeing the progress at the end of each session is rewarding in itself. I forget how much cord I used, and there was some waste, but I'm ok with that. I love what I got at the end. About 2 weeks ago a strand in the 4 strand Matthew Walker knot wore through, being the "stopper" at the top of my pocket and gets the most wear. About a month ago I bought a spool each of 2mm and 3mm cord and tomorrow is the first day of 2 weeks vacation. Perfect timing. Thanks Mikko, for a stunning lanyard, and another excellent tutorial and video in general.
Mikko, this is quite possibly your most masterful presentation! I have have watched it 25 times + working up the gumption to replicate it. Some of the moves and maneuvers at the transitions are nothing short of brilliant! My late Dad thinks your Sailor’s Wisk is your best, but I have to disagree. Short of your Chest Becket video, this is most brilliant. Again, coffee on me! Vernon in West Vancouver
I just saw this video, amazing the way you handle cordage, I really appreciate the time and effort you put into showing all us want to be’s how it’s done I can learn so much more from watching you than pictures in a book THANKS so much
Mikko, this is one of your masterpieces! It competes with your Becket video, which I watch over and over and over...... like this one. That cabled eye is brilliant! Please offer a summer or winter one or two or three day Tutorial course. I will fly to Finland in a heartbeat to attend. (I will bring a crate of moose legs with me!) Vernon in West Vancouver
@@mikkosnellman I'd build your website for the pleasure of knowing you. A lesson from the master would be a treat. PM me and let's see how best to plan this. I can start right away but a course on ropework would require a road trip to the islands. Lets see how we do COVID wise.
Hi Mikko, Excellent posting... have been looking for these type of ropework for a long time. While I'm not new to knotting, I'm pretty novice in braiding.. you got a new apprentice! Would you be posting more of this type of work (lanyards)? I have a pretty low resolution picture of one that I was trying to imitate unsuccessfully, I may need your help to try to identify the type of braiding in it. This posting opened a new door for me. Thank you!!
Thank you for your feedback. Will have to think about some nice braiding project. Meanwhile you could take a look at John Trevvett´s braiding at Trevvett Knots YT channel. Email me your picture of the lanyard and I´ll take a look if I can help. info @ snellman . ax
*thank you for the video I also like the 17-strand knot. Because it's pretty. Is the code you are using a cotton rope? Where do you buy it? It's a bit harder than regular cotton cords.*
Hello Mr. Snellman, my name is Julie and I have a question about the leash. After braiding the sennet ready to bind for the whip stitching how do I spread out the shorter cords when they are all on one side and the short ones from the top are in the way. I have tried halving the shorter cords but that doesn’t seem to help. Do I just “force “ them into place? Thank you for your time and talents. I appreciate your work and skill.
Años atrás hice uno de esos que le llamaban "rabiza marinera" y era el símbolo de graduación de marinero en la armada de Chile. Gracias por recordarme buenos tiempos 💪🏼
Thank you for this video. I just finished to make one in 2mm black paracord for my work id and it is very nice. for the second part of the 17 strands sennit I did, beginning with most interior strand, over 5 under 1 then under 3 over 2 under 1 and under 3 over 3
Me too!!! Curious what type of rope you used... I saw it was 2mm in diameter but was it cotton, nylon, or polyester and how stiff must the cord/rope be? If you see this, Thx Zk
Mikko is a rope maker. He features his hand made rope in his videos. As a category, it is "hard laid" cotton. Synthetic is slippery and unsuitable for this work. The hard laid cord Mikko makes is substantially stiffer and nicer to work with than commercially available cotton cord.@@zonaken
Loved the way you made the three strand laid rope for the eye splice, I'm going to have to practice the constrictor knot, I've known of it for years but it usually ends up as a clove hitch (which I've known for decades). Any chance of a link to where you bought the side cutters? Thanks for the time and effort you put into making these videos, they are very informative and easy to follow.
I sell these cutters for € 10 + shipping, including a length of 1,5mm linen cord for covering handles. Email me to info (at) snellman . ax czcams.com/video/-XwvaifMbb0/video.html
@@jayj4142 Just be sure that you choose a model, that cuts flush and is made of high carbon steel. Amazon sells them for $18,99 And answer to your earlier question you´ll find at czcams.com/video/-iogYXrJrds/video.html

Absolutely stunning! almost 47 minutes have passed like a breeze keeping me hypnotized in front of the monitor...
Bravo!

You are welcome, I am glad if I can inspire others to the noble art of knot tying!
What an outstanding video, I really do appreciate it and your choice of music for the background was spot-on. Thanks for your time.
My first time watching you. Thanks for sharing your beautiful art. This is a great relaxing video for me. Will definitely be back.
First one done! Took me three days and 12 other videos on the other knots, but it looks great!!!
What a talented guy! You make it look so professional. And I just love your videos and music is just heaven.
Thank you. Maybe it is because I am a professional? 😁
That was amazing and awesome to watch, I definitely want to make for my 4 dog's

Thank you Vernon. You never know, I just might do that one day.
Beautiful work!!! Making knots is relaxing and with this music... thanks for that!
I just love this stuff, I could watch it for hours. Problem is getting the confidence up to give it a go. Websites I can do standing on my head.
Maybe you could rebuild my website against private course on knotwork? 😁

Any dog would be proud to wear that! Happy New Year
Beautiful work as always Mikko. Thank you for sharing.
watching you work is so relaxing, what type of cordage did you use ?

Wonderful tutorial and the best one out there! Did you use the same diameter cords and sennit lengths for the dog leash?
The cords are the same but loop is shorter and lead longer. About 120cm overall.
That turned out very nice. Happy new year.
Brilliant and amazing to watch. Can’t believe I missed this one. Thank .
Hey Mikko. Did you get my email re. Japanese fishing float cover?
*thank you for the video I also like the 17-strand knot. Because it's pretty. Is the code you are using a cotton rope? Where do you buy it? It's a bit harder than regular cotton cords.*
Coming up for sail again soon at www.snellman.ax
Wow absolutely amazing!
Awesome tutorial! And I love the guitar music! Who is that and where can I get it?

Yes, arranging cords can be a bit tricky and sometimes you need to use some force. It helps if you don't pull the stop tight before the arrangement.
That beautiful ropework thank you
It's superb work.Very good . I love it.
Nice work Mikko

Thank you for showing how to start the 8 strand sinnet. I have not seen that from anyone else
You are welcome. Unfortunately many, who make tutorials, leave these important details away, or don´t know how to do them.
Man, so beautiful
Great work - I enjoy your videos - doing some ropework, too - happy new year from denmark

Good thinking, I am sure it is beautiful! If you use Facebook, you might join our knot tying group: Ropeworks Group.
good idea, I just sent a join request.
Realmente hermoso.
Muy buenos tejidos exelente
This is bliss!
Yes beatiful music, and work fantastique
Vous faites un travail merveilleux, merci de partager vos connaissances !
sou de goiania gostei da trança e vou fazer o meu brazil
Brilliant video as always ,I always learn something new when I watch your vids , can't understand the thumb's down on this video what's not to like ?
Thank you Adrian. Would be interesting to know, what is wrong, so I could improve for the next time.
¡¡¡Qué manos!!! y qué memoria la tuya. Fantástico.
I've been looking for a Boatswains pipe lanyard. This looks spot on. Thanks.
Yes, this is quite typical for a pipe lanyard, you are welcome.

That would be a netting needle.

Seu trabalho é fantástico senhor Mikko Snellman. Parabéns e muitas felicidades neste Ano Novo. Sucesso.
Nice work👍
Would you show how to start? Measure?
Measurements in the beginning at 1:37
beautiful work where can I purchase cord such as you used to tie the landyard?
d?
That is what I do :) snellman.ax/materials.html
Great tutorial. What is the needle you are using at 40:58? Some kind of screw-on-needle?
Yes, that is called a lacing needle.
Merci pour cette vidéo très instructive. C'est un cordage que vous faites vous même ?
Yes, I make all my ropes myself.
Ficou uma obra prima tmj.
merci monsieur
Cosa dire di Mikko...? Un genio assoluto...- Bravissimo.- ⚓🚩⚓🙏
onde vende esse livro??????
Look for example in Amazon or Ebay
