How to Tie the Māori Hei Toki Lashing by TIAT

[fjroberts077]

why not come up with a way to loop cord from the shoulders of the bottle, down around the bottom, ensuring that the lashing can NOT be easily pulled off? IE, Filling the bottle with alcohol, and inserting and removing from your pocket?

glad to see my culture is spread all around the world :D

[Rubenakachuy]

dude respect! is there a knot you can't do? I am a big fan!

[ItsMeDaveT]

The knot is amazing, and the music has that whole "Eminence Front" feel to it....

[LoneWolfsVoice]

Could this be done or had anyone tried to do this on a military one quart canteen?

[Manos1x2]

Is there a tie or knot that can hold a stone secure?

I`d like to make a necklase. Thank you.

[TheVoidFox]

can i use a round bottle like a wine bottle?

[TyingItAllTogether]

@TheVoidFox - I suppose, but it might slip off. I'd spray a little "tack" (sticky spray used to add grip) on the bottle before tying.

[TopOfTheLine3]

what stops it from sliding up the bottle

[TyingItAllTogether]

@TopOfTheLine3

...

A little tack spray on the bottle would do. Otherwise it will slip off the bottle if pulled. A traditional Hei Toki Lashing is performed on a notched stone or bone. The notch keeping the tie from sliding off. My video merely show the tying technique.

It probably would'nt hold on a round bottle.

Was the paracord you used "gutted"?

[TyingItAllTogether]

@newt149

...

Yes. The core was removed.

Did this to the lid of a zippo and just wrapped the bottom half. Looks pretty badass if I do say so myself

[ScuffleSage]

In theory, you could use this to wrap a tank top on someone, substitute the top rubber band with the person's teeth biting down on to the top working end.. but finishing the tank top before the person turns purple would be the real challenge.. perhaps if they stood on a turn table. hmm....

[3pushesbullet]

Is there anyway to do this with a round bottle?

[TopOfTheLine3]

@3pushesbullet also was wondering that

[dlimace]

ball into the bottle "bola dentro da garrafa"

Excuse my mistakes in English because I am Brazilian and I do not speak your language very well. I wish you would show us how to knot ball into the bottle.

thanks

[riothero313]

It looks like a bottle from a pint of booze, something that I just so happen to have laying around ;)  I'll have to try this one.

@TyingItAllTogether im trying to tie this knot on a small ore. but it keeps slipping please help me on solving this problem.

[icychap]

Kick ass tunes.

[basicdeb]

Incredible JD - as are all your videos. I would like to know more about the person behind this amazing creativity - I can sense that you are very humble :o)

[pkunzipstardotstar]

I'm from NZ. Although the Maoris were there before the white man showed up technically they aren't indigenous as they too arrived by boat. I think that the only thing indigenous to NZ is rain forest(now gone due to cattle and sheep farming and what remains is soon to be opened up to the Mining industry) and birds.

I added "Polynesian" to my parenthetical clarification.

[pkunzipstardotstar]

@TyingItAllTogether ...by the way thanks aplenty for your videos! I really respect what you are doing!!!! You should consider authoring a DVD if you haven't done so already.

[TheDeadlythorn]

@pkunzipstardotstar that totally sucks ass...........

[stickwalker]

Interesting knot, I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for posting it.

[sheldonspeicher]

would you be able to continue the hole way to the bottom

[manx1324]

Is this purely decorational or could you leave the two ends long and tie them together to turn it into a bottle sling type thing?

[TyingItAllTogether]

@manx1324

...

On account the bottle does not have notches at its top, as a carved hei toki would, the ends won't hold as a sling.

[MaxSafeheaD]

@TyingItAllTogether

I make bone (and soon fimo) pendants so this lashing would look great on them.

Where I might be able to find out how these notches you mentioned work please?

@TyingItAllTogether

Doh! oh yea =P

Thanks very much =D

[mikeblan789]

8oz flask, looks great, I have one of those dime a dozen stainless flasks with my name engraved into it and it collects finger prints like crazy, i was looking for a nice wrap for it, this will work just fine, whats the ratio to it?

as for working just fine i will need to go ahead stuff some cork into the back (its a hip so it has a bend in it) to flatten it out so the wrap will hold better

[dakellymon]

Very nice weave. Thanks for sharing.

[sarbear44]

do you think this would work on a cylinder? for example a Klean Kanteen?

[TyingItAllTogether]

@sarbear44

...

Cylinders are tough shapes for this tie. Perfect Whipping or French Whipping (two different types of lashings for cylindrical objects) might work better.

...

That said, I'm a big fan of giving your ideas a try, and studying what happens (I discover most my solutions this way). Perhaps add some grip enhancer spray (Mueller Magic Grip is a brand I sometimes use) to help hold the piece in place.

...

Hope that helps,

very nice way to decorate a flask. It reminds me of something you would see in the Captains Quarters on some old Portuguese caravel
