Members megabit Posted March 25, 2014 Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 If you look at the knot you posted it is clearly tied on a foundation that pushes the middle out, which narrows the knot some because it goes down instead of wide. I also am not certain that one even is a Ginfer knot. It looks over one under one to me not over 3 under 1 over 1 under 3. The tutorial Brian posted gets you something very similar. You could use that tutorial to put the ring on other base knots using the same method. Quote
Members LTC Posted March 25, 2014 Author Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 no, that is wrong. it is not tied on a foundation knot that "pushes the middle out". if you look at the tutorial brian posted, it is based on a ginfer knot and the "ring" part that is around the outside is woven onto that over 1 under one part in around the middle of the base knot. in any case i found the knot in grant's book but as i suspected the pictures suck so i cannot follow them. the way he did it is he tied the upper part of the base knot with basically the over 1 under 1 along the bottom, then tied on the bottom half of the knot onto the top half. since all it looks like anyone wants to do on here now is argue and say they're right and get upset because someone asks a simple question i think i will stop posting now because it's not helping anything and just making people argumentative. i don't enjoy conversations like that and do not participate in them. see ya.

Members Sovran81 Posted March 25, 2014 Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 LTC Its too bad you feel that way. I have seen nothing but people trying to help you determine what it is and offering help in the way of other pics, instructions and files. Remember you can always invest the $36 for the book. The link was provided in one of my earlier posts. Quote

Members megabit Posted March 25, 2014 Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 Too bad Enrique doesn't still come on here, since he tied the knot in the original picture. To me the original picture sure doesn't look like a ginfer. Looks to be over 1 under 1. Brian's Saturn's Ring is very similar and is on a ginfer. LTC if you are on Facebook Enrique is over there in most of the rawhide groups. He should be able to tell you what the knot is since he tied it (the rest of us are basically guessing). Good luck LTC and thank you for your service. Mike Quote
Members megabit Posted March 25, 2014 Members Report Posted March 25, 2014 Now I looked closer at the first tutorial Brian posted I don't think that is a ginfer either, well not the same ginfer as the later instructions are for. The knot labled 21 trancos has 3 V going across. The ginfer only has one V. Does anyone know if the 21 trancos is in one of Enrique's books? Quote
