Pine straw baler

hmmm, was I wrong calling that a millers knot? when I looked it up on youtube, that millers knot was the one for tying up sacks.
does the kind you switched to , have a different name?

The guy on U tube calls it a miller's knot. I like you thought it was different. All I know is that it is easy to tie and much faster for me any way. It is the video of the guy who builds straw houses showing how to re tie a straw bale.... Here is the link to the video.

yup, that is the same page I had been looking at.
I will have to try to memorize it and practice on something with it.
thanks.

The way my baler is made I use two string rolls like a regular hay baler. I fold back the end that is attached to the roll of string and cut after it is tied. Works great for me.
