- 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 !! 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.
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.
love your slow, calm, useful tutorials.
Glad you like them!
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
Honestly this video deserves more likes lol
Thanks for the video and a great tip to make a lacing needle.
Brilliant video! Many thanks for sharing... Saves my tons of time searching the right size!
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
That's brilliant! I love your sense of humor too :)
I’m so happy I’m here. I love knot working. 😀😊😊
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 ❤
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'
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🤣🤣
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!
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. 👌
I like your ideas about tools.
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely phenomenal
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.
Fantastic video with great directions..
Thank you
Fantastic tutorial! I have to try one day. Thank you, Sir!
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
Very cool , man. Tks for tutorial. Greetings from Brazil! \o/
Thanks for teaching me something new , I gave you a Thumbs up , I'm number

Brilliant. Well done Mikko.
Very nice and simple as well as useful. Awesome! 👍🏻
Bloody brilliant! Thanks for that.
A very useful tutorial! Thank you.
Genial...justo lo que yo quería.! Mil gracias por compartir...!
Excellent! Well Done. 👍🏻
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. :-)
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😀
Great video , Cheers ! Thanks
I am brasilian.
Tank you, so much...
Thank you. Might be adaptable for split braid needles.
Yes, just add grip function and handle.
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. 😁
Outstanding I think I can do that. Thanks much.
Thank you Mikko. ✌
Made me a subscriber!
Very helpful thanks.
Thks
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.
Very interesting!
Great video. Two things: 1) His accent makes me think he knows his stuff 2) He sounds like StrongBad
thank you , very useful
Nice. I wonder if a .22 brass cleaning rod would work?
Yes, it does.
Wonderful. |Thank you.
Wonderful...!!!!
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.
IT SPEAKS!!!
nice
Me gustan esas manos de verdadero artesano!!! (y aclaro que no me gustan los hombres). LIKE!
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.
so much of a screamer in the beginning!!
We know how to use the fucking epoxy….just show us how to make the damned fid!
Here´s how you make a fid ;) czcams.com/video/Z11C9a8z5TE/video.html
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, CZcams 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.
