Paracord Madness!

[Fatbob]

Hi all, being a bit bored recently I've been trying my hand at paracord projects, here is the result of a few hours playing, it is VERY Adictive!
I've done two types of bracelet Chinese button knot fastening and survival whistle clasp, monkey fists with steel ball bearings and different lanyards.

Well done, nice work, how long per bracelet ?

 

[Fatbob]

Hi, I've got the hang of the bracelets now n they only take a few minutes each to do.

The thing that always throws me is starting it when using a single strand of paracord....measuring and starting to make sure you finish even....the amount of times i've restarted a bracelet because the OCD kicked it......and lets not get started about getting to a point where you've done it for so long you start to doubt if it's looking right or not.

Nice work. We did a few - double daisy chain ones - to pass the time in the cold evenings at Braemar at Easter.

Hi feller.

Nice work there...

Just an observation....

Your making the bracelets out of 2 pieces of cord right? On for the buckles....and then a weave over the top?

This means the amount of useable cord is greatly reduced whereas if you make them with a single piece of cord...you have over 10feet of cord to use as you wish and not 2 bits to tie together.

Like so...

Those are nice assasin, do you ebay them?

You could try doing a sinnet weave, looks virtually identical but can be deployed in seconds should the need arise.

Good work mate. Like the monkeys fist

 

[Fatbob]

Thanks for the advice assassin I'll try that but surely you can only do that with one colour? Gonna give that sinnet weave a go next thanks for the tip.

It's really easy once you get into the rhythm. Good stuff Fatbob.
