on 8/2/2008 yeah...you skipped the step where you showed how you got from the bridge to the straight and even knot and moved on to the (needless) step of untying the knot. kudos to you for posting this how to as it really gave me a grasp of how to tie a four-in-hand knot, because of the missing step, my knots keep coming out cocked to one side and never a good straight triangle like your finished product and like the knot i use (im looking to learn a variety).

on 8/2/2008 Um, didn't you forget something? Like how you got to this point? Can you say, "missing segment"? I knew you could.
Also, with respect to your camera person, get someone who can hold the camera at least eye-level with you. Your audience will get a better view of the process and you won't have to bend down so much.

on 8/2/2008 **sorry to post this twice, but i wanted to make an edit and i didnt see a tool on here that allows you to do that without reposting.**
yeah...you skipped the step where you showed how you got from the bridge to the straight and even knot and moved on to the (needless) step of untying the knot. kudos to you for posting this how to as it really gave me a grasp on how to tie a four-in-hand knot. because of the missing step, however, my knots keep coming out cocked to one side and i never achieve a good straight triangle like your finished product and like the knot i use (im looking to learn a variety, as i currently only know one way...well one and a half, counting your four-in-hand method). i hope this didnt come off as condescending or rude, because it wasnt meant to sound that way at all, just to mention that the part you skipped (mentioned above) is crucial and the untying part is unnecessary to say the least - you could show the finished knot and yourself taking the tie off as part of the missing clip. thanks for the effort. it beats paying for "the tie video."
