  • Can you tell me how thick the rope is and what kind?

  • @rocker43mike It's possible to make it by all kinds of ropes.

    I'll recommend to make once.

  • @shinomun Tried making one recently with jute twine of around 1.5 mm circumference. Took more than 3 hours to make. Clearly too thin. Have access to 3mm and 6mm alternatives. Can't tell which to use. Limited budget so can't experiment with both.

  • @rocker43mike

    I will challenge you, very impressed.

    Japanese technology at the time, to make a thread of 1.5mm, please consider it very difficult.

    I do not think the comfort, I think the best would rope over 6mm.

    If this is possible within 1 hour production time.

  • How much line is needed in total (for the two sandals)?

  • @AlucardZeppelin It's partial by the size of the foot, but when approximately 6 m can be prepared, I think it's enough.

  • This is fascinating. I think I'm gonna make these. Just a thought; things might go a little faster for you if you make yourself a shuttle to hold the long length of thread instead of pulling the whole length through each time. You could wrap the excess around a cardboard square and just unravel more as you need. Thanks for the video. I'm rating it high and adding it to my favorites!!

  • i made one of these trying to make a basket???? now if i can just make another one

see all
