Kassidy Report post Posted November 1, 2014 Any tutorials on the one string nose button. Seen the one from Bryan nueberts video but can't remember it. Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bucksnort Report post Posted November 3, 2014 Kassidy, I don't know what your skill level is, so this may or may not help. The one string nose button is just a long 4 or 6 bight turkshead with either a pineapple or gaucho interweave. I start out with a long string about 16 ft. for the base knot & go however far that goes & then finish up with a 12 ft. string. Once you've done a few you can adjust your lengths (if you want to change colors for your interweave). Hope this helps. Buck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kassidy Report post Posted November 4, 2014 Thanks buck. The part I'm having a hard time remembering is building the foundation knot. I remember you spiral up and back to make X's but after that I'm lost Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bucksnort Report post Posted November 5, 2014 Kassidy, Look on the internet for instructions for a long 4 bight turkshead that's all the base for the one string nose button is & there should be some instructions for raising it to a 6 bight too if you need to. Good luck. Buck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rawhidelady Report post Posted December 9, 2014 Personally it's much easier to use the multi string button to make that long of a knot rather than pulling all the length of one string through the braiding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curlyjo Report post Posted December 10, 2014 I'm with Rawhidelady. I think the multiple string button is easier to handle and less confusion for me. Once you figure out the foundation and turn back, you can take off and finish pretty easy. Just my opinion. Brad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bucksnort Report post Posted December 11, 2014 Although I don't use the multi string nose button, but I agree with Brad & Rawhidelady that it is simpler, the turnbacks are about the only confusing part. Grant's book has good directions for it. Buck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kassidy Report post Posted December 11, 2014 Thank you for the help everyone. I agree the multi string is a lot easier. Just wanted to know both methods of doing a nose button and couldn't remember the one string method but I think I've about got it. But thanks again for all your responses and help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bucksnort Report post Posted December 11, 2014 Many people also prefer braiding it on. Alan Bell has a really good tutorial on here of his method which is kind of a hybred of braiding & the multi string method. Buck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
curlyjo Report post Posted December 11, 2014 Bryan Neubert's first video explains the multiple string button real well. He uses 4 strings but it applies to any number. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
