Himo tying


kissakai

Recommended Posts

Hi

It was suggested I try to re-string my shikoro mainly as they are low value items

I have 7mm silk himo but I have two queries

How do I thread 7mm silk through a 2.5mm hole

Does anyone have a diagram showing how it is threaded

I've had a bit of micky taking about the shikoro  so I would appreciated it if the replies could be about my two questions

 

 

With thanks

Grev

Awfully quiet out there

I looked a YouTube to seen a load of idiots with para cord

Seems like you can get some quite good stuff about tsuka tying

The lake of response is possibly why there are only two(ish) armour restorers in the UK

I'm sure if I 'have a go' and post the results someone is sure to say that's all wrong!

You need to prepare strips in advance and thin out the ends and fashion them using glue into threading needles.

You’ll need hundreds of little hidden support braces to flush out each himo appearance. Good luck.

 

Taré is the word.

If something comes before it, like a modifier, then the hard T sound changes to a softer d sound which gives you -daré.
