Leatherworker Knot Jig Set – Gaucho, Pineapple & Turks Head Bands | Stacking Mandrels

A professional knot-tying jig set designed specifically for leatherworkers.
Tie clean, repeatable Gaucho, Pineapple and Long Turks Head bands using roo lace or leather cord.

This is a purpose-built leatherworker’s knot jig set, designed to remove guesswork when tying decorative leather knots and bands.

Unlike generic mandrels, each jig in this set is pattern-guided, clearly showing the correct over–under path, making it ideal for both learning and repeatable professional work.

The jigs nest together in a compact “stacking” system for easy storage, with a screw-top container for pins.

🪢 Knots supported

This set allows you to tie a wide range of commonly used leatherworking knots, including:

Gaucho knots

Pineapple knots

Long Turks Head bands

Decorative leather bands and wraps

The larger mandrels are ideal for band work, commonly mounted onto a leather strap and finished with a clasp, buckle or hardware.

🧵 Designed for leather

Optimised for kangaroo lace (roo lace) and leather cord

Works well with 2.5–3 mm lace (and similar)

Deliberate strand spacing allows knots to be dressed off the jig

Final knot size tightens naturally during dressing

This matches real leatherworking practice, where bands are often mounted onto leather rather than worn directly.
