Rope Handles on My Tools

I knoted rope on my hand tools

This is not technically a instructable due to the fact that there is no instructions. I just wanted to show off my handywork but i will try to explain the process so here we go

well i like knoting i find it to be a intertaning hobby to past time plus i used to be a sailor so i love the nautical look . i used nylon twisted cord of different thickness. ( i personally dont like paracord) but this could be achieved with any rope really

on one punch i used fender hitch with the needle and caped it off with a turks head . on the next was a 3strand running cckscombing caped off by turks heads

on one chisel i used a round turn stitch with a needle . on the other one i used overhand gaffting and caped it oof with a turkes head

on the wire cutters i used a continuous square knot but on youtube were i found how to do it it was also referred to a solomon bar

the screwdriver was a turks head with a thicker cord

now on the crimper i did not look up a knot i just did a continuous granny knot dont know if theres a different name for it but i like the spiraling look

on the needle nose i used a right crown sniet

when i was done with each tool i painted it and sprayed it with wood lacquer to seal and protect for longevity. .like i mentioned the is not a instuctable but i wanted to share .this was the start and i have i lot more tools to go .thanks for your time

this is a late entry that looks cool hanging on my belt the wrench was made with the ring bolt knot . the striker is square knots continuesly tyed aka a solomon bar
