Any Tutorial For This Knot?

[LTC]

does anyone happen to have a tutorial or something on youtube showing how to make a turkshead knot with a ring around the circumference of it? if so, please post it here...been trying to build a pacecounter with some beads and thought it would look good on there.

here is a pic of the knot I'm talking about

I know it looks like a spanish ring knot around a separate knot, but from my looking for info on this, I think it is one single knot.

thanks for any help on that...

If you click on the link, you can see it. I just checked it just now and it works.

I tried to attach it as an image, but since this forum software doesn't work right it wouldn't let me do that.

Anyway, I just clicked on the link and the pic showed correctly.

Pic came up OK for me. My opinion is that it is a ring knot over a separate knot. My main reasoning is that the strings in the under knot appear to be smaller than those in the ring knot. I think a ring knot under on each side with a turkshead over them would leave the center indented, ring knot on top set into the indentation. interesting knot anyway, we'll see what comes up on it.

A tutorial on that. It was too large to upload to here. Zip file contains a pdf document.

Thanks for posting that. I know you said before you didn't know what base knot that was, so I tried to find it today. looks like a "ginfer" knot to me. does that look right to you? The book I have that shows it only has one long "part" on each side of the short parts in the middle. now I need to figure out how to add another long part to each side and I'll have the same base knot then.

I'm not sure it would look the same if trying to tie it on a regular gaucho knot.

Far from expert with knots but the biggest difference I see between the OP pic and tutorial is the pic appears to double back on the third set of strands where the tutorial doubles back on the 1st set of strands. Both knots look great. Put on the list for must try at some time in the future.

LTC it does appear to be a ginfer braided into a base knot, I dont have my book handy to confirm.

no, i said the base knot was a ginfer knot. not the one around the outside of it.

[KnotHead]

Yep. It's a Ginefer knot.

oh good. well I read on another thread that there was a good tutorial for the ginfer knot on your website, but I wasn't able to find it. the book I have only shows the 9 part 8 bight one and the 6 part 5 bight. but neither of those are the same as the base knot in the link you posted earlier.

i'll keep looking. if someone knows which ginfer knot that is or has a tutorial for it pls let me know.
