[rp252]

I can't wait to see stormdrane's new Juice

It does seem a bit of a given that he'll win

Lol.  Looks that way doesn't it.

Sidhartha's Mauser Porn made me take mine out and play with it. I thought it needed a lanyard so I just whipped this one up.

[Benner]

Looks great. 

[AHB]

You're real talented, Prime.. 

[Zed]

[Neil]

Hi Guys, Captain Noob here with a very noob question, is paracord (550) only available in the states? Or if not where is it available in the UK/Ireland? Thanks Guys! That is some fantastic weaving by the way!!

Welcome mouche, and good luck with your hunt.

I usually get mine from www.supplycaptain.com which even with postage from the US works out as a pretty good deal if you're buying a few colours

[Neil]

Rotokid's store has a good selection and he's more than happy to ship internationally

Tried that rattlesnake with mixed results, might have done it too tight from the get go making that finishing pull through really tough, need a few more tries before I dare post a pic 

[Blackbeard]

Yow, now my fingers are throbbing, this is harder than it looks.

nice one Neil

2nd rattlesnake attempt = fail. Was able to lock it up perfectly  and thought it looked great until I exammined pattern, and was missing some of the weave on one side, rewatched the video a few more times and im gonna give it another try.

[Blackbeard]

3rd times the charm, when you finally get it, you're thinking that was easy, only issue is I cut it too short for a hand loop, so I need to start another, than onto some different patterns to befuddle me.

[Neil]

  And he's off

Might not get your hand through it but should make pocket retrieval much easier.

[prime77]

That looks good. 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

That's impressive work there mate

[Neil]

I pop a little glue under the final crossing over but there are probably better ways (I'm not very good).    Well done on your first attempt at Tactical Knitting^TM
