nice work, i especially like the all black paracord bracelet, that looks like it'd be good for things like shoulder straps, don't suppose you have link for a tutorial on that knot do you?

cheers

Don't want to sound too stupid but where do you get the brown camo para cord from that the right hand monkey fist is made from.

Hi Jonnyboy... I used Desert Camo 550 cord for that one mate.... It was quite hard to do because it has a huge ballbearing in it and took 5 passes to cover it. It's my favorite. Coyote Brown and Black are the plain colours.

The black one is a woven watch strap design, without the watch! It's a good one to make because it uses one continuous length of cord so theres no guessing how much cord you need and cutting to little or to much from your supply (like in a cobra stitch). I only found a slide show tutorial to learn it.... It's quite simple and quick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUUxriu9PTk&playnext=1&list=PLD864EB48B9B8F398

thanks for that mick, i'd managed to find the same tutorial myself earlier as it happens, just struggling to find paracord at the moment! (i've just moved house, it's still packed away somewhere)

Hey! Cracking goood stuff! If you wouldn't mind... did you make , or purchase the catapult casting? If purchased...WHERE?!!

I didn't cut the catapult out myself, I bought what they call a blank. Just an unfinished one.
You can find a blank for the catapult here... http://www.knifebargains.co.uk/acat...king_Kit_with_9cm_Carbon_Blade___3526K__.html £12.95 Then just polish and add the handles and elastic...

If you just do a search for 'catapult blank' or 'milbro blank' something will turn up.
