THREE SPHERICAL COVERS DESIGNED WITH ARIANE software
I am late showing what was in a suprise postal package Claude
HOCHET sent to me
as a gift a few weeks ago.
Three spherical covers on 30 mm wooden balls as core.
The HP coding table (Claude use exclusively a the tables and never a
printed grids put
on a tool, more ! he use only "the screen and post it function of
ARIANE, his own brilliant
software - see HOCHET TUTS -
63 Xings, 101 Xings, 120 Xings they are. Here
is their portrait !
using a grid
I made using ARIANE ( here is the ARI file for those having
this superior
software ) and taking inspiration with Don EDWARDS Stefanos
FANIDIS made the LOSANGES PATTERN
- in gutted paracord
- in kangaroo leather
This offer a good comparison between the two material as it is same
tyer, with same grid.

FROM A TALENTED NEW
COMER, JOSEPH ( Joe) BENNETT ( IGKT member
) : Nono's special bracelet
and Nono's 360 FACE spherical cover.
Joseph is, to my knowledge and recollection, the third to make the
"special bracelet" (
see
NONO_TUTS ) invented by Norbert from one of ABoK knot that he
succeed in drawing
as a single-strand bracelet
Tackling Norbert's bracelet grids is not all that easy and Joseph
BENNETT did turn out
clean and neat items
Thank you for making contact and sending your photographies.
For the bracelet in full
size he is the fourth ( Nono, Jan VOS, George HUNTINGTON
to
have made one ( André TREFFENFELD
made a finger ring sized one and Jan VOS made
a bracelet)
In Joe 's own words

Charles,
I am a regular visitor to your excellent website which is on my
Favourites List.
At the moment I'm interested in Nono's great bracelets
and grids for same. Please find
attached the 17-strand one made from
his improved grids and the 32-strand one (bracelet
based on his
8-braid). I've enjoyed making these bracelets and hope that Nono will
give us
more of his creations as he invents them!!!
Both of my bracelets are made
with 1.4m.m. VB cord. The 17-strand one is made with
8 grids (7+1) and
the 32-strand one has 67 bights (in both cords).
Best regards,
Joe Bennett (IGKT).

( this one is the 360F spherical covering)
To my knowledge Joe is the eighth person to have made the 360 FACE from
Nono's grid
( Barry BROWN was the sixth in 2010 Nov , Michel SINCE was the seventh
in 2010 Dec)
Despite a series of records in spherical
covers ( 408F - 456F
- 600F - 1000F -
1776F - 1976 ( last two by John RICHINGS ) that
were broken and are shown in these
pages, the 360 F model is one of the most elegant and was the very
first
above the 100
FACES and still stay beyond the grasp of many
knot
tyers.

I know I'm a bit late with this but here is my contribution of a
360-facet SCK. The core is a
50m.m.(dia) wooden ball. The two passes of
blue cord is 1.5 m.m. polypropylene which,
being coreless, has
"flattened" during the tightening process and the grey highlighting
cord is
1.4m.m. VB cord. This is
a good combination for those who like to completely cover
the core.

Thank you for this tip Joe

dernière création recouvrement d'anneaux montés en chaîne

--------------------------------
My latest creation : covering chained rings with 2mm cordage.
156
FACE, two colours
for each ring. ABoK #2241 start with 26 turns [end quote]
With the JPG and the ARI file with which you can get the
table of HP coding in one second
flat from ARIANE you have all that is
needed . Not giving the PDF printed by ARIANE
will save room in
my web space that with time has become "smaller' ....
Anyway those NOT having Ariane yet can
*** buy a copy of it after downloading the evaluation version
*** make their own table of HP coding using paper, pencil and brains
using a printing of
the grid given
*** simply print the grid and put it on their tool and follow the
cordage route and the coding.
This is a HOUNDSTOOTH that personnaly I find quite inferior to the
original created by
Eddy CLIMO but as it is also so much easier it is good for a
first attempt.
Stefanos gave me a 5B drawing and asked for a bracelet so using Ariane
I made it
22B.
FROM Stefanos FANIDIS :
another bracelet, a CHECKERED PINEAPPLE
Stefanos is the artist who made this one which started as Schaake's
idea of a CHECKERED
PINEAPPLE CYLINDRICAL KNOT.
Here is the grid I made using ARIANE ( Claude
HOCHET superior software for
Nested-Bights Cylindrical Knots )
Stefanos was interested in having a bracelet with this pattern so I made
a special grid for him
using ARIANE.
I had some
worries for the edges but the cordage is stiff enough to hold them in
good shape
and Stefanos did set it right.
For the less than good observers : this is *not*
a knot that has been tripled ( it is not the
same cordage route that has been used thrice - see -) but there is
indeed three individualized
(different) cordage routes
