Most simple, no brainer guide to tie a sageo into some kind of presentation knot?

I want to put a specific color sageo in a presentation knot on a katana, but I have the hardest time in the world with any tutorial, be it video or image, especially when it comes to tightening down anything.

Hey, few questions.

Hey, so recently, I got a 5 foot long Odachi, and it's not too heavy, but I heard some got up to 12 feet long and weighed 32 pounds, and I was wondering, if somebody were strong enough, could they use it effectively, or is physics the reason it wouldn't be usable, and if it's physics, what forces are too strong on it to be practical? (Sorry if I didn't explain too good, I'm very tired tonight.)
