Great instructional video =) Thank you so much!

@weksa thanks!
-
@wilsongrip Yeah, the Parnell is a finishing knot.
-
When you are done stringing with the mains and crosses, do you end with this knot? Pelase reply.
-
Thank you YULitle
-
@arsy123 yes you can. It is recommended (according to kipper mate stringing guide) to keep them at 1/4 of an inch). If they are very sharp, but can blunt the end.

Great Video! Well done
-
is this used on both ends of the mains?
-
Can you also use these knots in badminton stringing?

I have no intention on stringing, messing with strings etc, but my current string job by sports authority has forced me to ask you this. Could I shorten the extra part left over of the knot, because its overly long and the end is very sharp, and scratches me when I touch my racquet.
you may have answered this already but can this not be used for starter knot. Well, I know it can(ive used it a few time as one) but should it be.

It's really too small to be used as a starting knot properly. The forces a finishing knot is subjected to are smaller and different than those applied to a starting knot. If you use a starting clamp to start your crosses, then this knot is obviously usable as it is a finishing knot in that instance.

I've been using this knot for about a year and a half now and love it...and have used it with everything including gut. however, i'm going to take my certification test soon and the certifier mentioned to me that I should know a "gut knot".... that the Parnell can be used for gut but there is another knot specifically for gut.... any thoughts? thanks in advance for any advice.

I have no idea. I think that the double half-hitch is better for gut, personally. But, I've never heard of a gut knot...

can you use a parnell knot at the start and ends of mains and crosses??

You can use it anywhere. BUT, if you use it at the start of the crosses, you have to start with a starting clamp. This know is NOT to be used as a starting knot.
