bullwhip and general braiding PDF

Made this tutorial and despite having little to do with Bushcraft - someone may like the braiding content and pretty pictures - it is 6.5mb large and may take awhile to load.

Excellent tutorial! I'd love to have a go at one, just to say I'd done it and for the braiding experience. The only thing I couldn't make out very well was the constrictor knot - the white strands make it a bit difficult for me to make out which strand was going where. I'm not that good with knots I'm afraid!

Apart from that I think that is the bestpresented whip tutorial I've seen. Thanks

Hi indoorsout

If you look under -google - images - and search for the constrictor knot, you should come up with some good drawings of making the knot. I decided to take photo's of it rather then use a drawing as I thought it was more important to show where and how it was applied - but ye, the some photos ar'nt that good, trying to hold the braid and take photo's was a real act!!!

A constrictor knot is a clove hitch, but you cross the free ends, so really easy to do.

Never tie one on anything, unless you never intend to undo it by any other means than cutting.

Really nice thanks. I still can't do the pineapple knots though. Bit like trying to do the rubiks cube for me lol
