KnotHead Report post Posted October 30, 2014 This was an experimental knot. The base knot is a 23part by 10 bight gaucho mixed pattern knot. The base knot is not of my own design. But the stitching was added by me. Brian... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buckwhip Report post Posted October 30, 2014 Love it! I'm a big fan of the gaucho, but the only one I know how to do is the 5b gaucho, I use them as transition knots on my bullwhips. Would love the incorporate something like what you've got into a future whip build. I can whip out a 5b6l and 6b7l Turk's with my eyes closed, and can do the basic gaucho and a pineapple without much of a hiccup. How tough would it be for me to move up to the gaucho you did?

KnotHead Report post Posted October 30, 2014 Hey Buckwhip. Thanks for the kind comment. I did the base knot with a grid and a mandrel with pins stuck in it. I have included some of the working photos I took while working the knot. If you don't find it difficult to work with a grid and pin method, it should not be difficult at all. Brian... Love it!
