I got a headache watching that, but it didn't last very long. ;)
Got to learn to do that one of these days. Thanks for the video, Hans.

Hans,
Love that; however, months of bathroom remodeling have turned my fingers into 80 grit sandpaper. :cry:

Scott, you might try rubbing your fingers with a Pumice stone - takes down the roughness.
That, as my 17-yr old daughter would say, was "pretty sick."
Hans,
Why are a series of half hitches called a whip finish? I learned to tie the whip finish by "full hand" rather than a series of half hitches...... I often use a whip finisher tool now - or should I say a "series of half hitches tool"? LOL
Byron ??
A series of half hitches are single turns of thread crossing over themselves, one after the other. A series of simple knots.
A whip finish is as shown in the video - a series of adjacent touching turns of thread, and a tag end which is drawn parallel along the shank underneath the full set of thread turns.
Cheers,
Hans W
I meant tying half hitches back over the tying thread
Great technique. Spring and summer my fingers aren't like sandpaper so I will have to give that a try after the cold/wet weather passes.
Thank Hans for sharing that.
This is clearly a whip finish.
I think anybody who suggests that a series of half hitches creates a whip finish or is similar to a whip finish is mistaken. I've definitely seen YouTubes in which the tyer makes this mistake.
Nicely done. Had to see it to believe it.
