That's awesome.

I just used a golfball and rope (and burnt ends as suggested)

I took awhile to get it right- the rope would twist and make the knot tying next-near impossible.
I started and untied and re-tied several times before getting it... Just like picking, it was practice, practice, practice. And then some thinking and practice some more...

Just to be safe - squirt a few drops of super glue on the ends of the sinnet knot so it doesn't come loose and unravel.

yeah, make sure the knots hold up, it would really piss you off if you went to swing at a guy and the ball came flying out an knocked a window out of YOUR car or house!

BTW - If any of you guys are "knotheads", I posted a few pictures of turkshead knots that I've made and put on my knot stick. They are in the photo gallery section at the top of the page.

Hey, Tooly - Let's see some of your stuff...

I was actually talking about one of these. But the thought of you squeezing caterpillars looking for ball bearings is priceless!

The turks head is one I still haven't gotten down. Your's look awesome Hallis! I did alot of cobra stitches, caterpillar sinnets, square, round sinnets... but I gave most of it away or it is currently attached to a something at the apt.


I keep making mostly the monkey fist with a noose because it uses alot less chord than a sinnet or cobra stitch. This is probably my best fist, it's a big smasher marble!


This one is the biggest, it's a golf ball.

Gotta get my ass practicing that turk...

It's easy if you have one of these: http://knottool.com/th_kit.html

I have the flat turk's head kit and also bought some of the tubes.

If you have a drill press and screws, you're halfway there. Ck this guys page: http://www.taylortel.net/~stwood/mandtools.html

But... that's cheating! I think I'll look closer at that homemade setup. Thanks Hallis.
