Got Paracord?

[nuphoria]

That's nice

I guess it would float too?

I made our bathroom lightpull out of a monkeys fist with a rubber ball inside so it doesn't damage anything when it swings around! It does bounce quite nicely off the wall though

Yes, it does float, but I'd recommend using bright/neon colored paracord for someone making one, to keep from losing their key(more than a couple and it sinks) in a stream, pond, lake, toilet bowl,etc... where the darker colored cord wouldn't help find it...



I have a glow-in-the dark monkey's fist on my bedroom ceiling fan/light pull.  Reminds me that I need to wipe the spiderwebs off it.

Very nice, although since it floats it might accidentally go down the...stormdrain!
Bazinga!

'Dragon's Tongue' paracord bracelet.  I followed JD of TIAT's YouTube video tutorial for the tying method, but used a single 12 foot strand of paracord with a 5/8" curved side release buckle for the 9.5" long finished bracelet.  I preferred leaving the woven cord bunched up, with the wider effect, instead of stretching it out for the 'lashing' tongue look shown in the video.

that looks sweet. I reckon stretching it out and bunching it up together both look sweet. Good job Stormdrane 

I finally got round to ordering some paracord and decided to make a watchband. Messed it up horribly with the burning. Apart from that, I'm pretty pleased with it. Might have another go at it

I've so far tried to not get into turks heads as I've read they can be addictive. Yesterday I made my first simple turks head, and I'm sure it won't be the last
 

 
I thought I'd have a go at the snake...
 

 
His eyes went a bit funny, my wife says he looks drunk.
 
I've now got a back order of snakes, both my little girls want one!

[Neil]

  I need two snakes over here as well.  Will supply cord and beads and lob in a SAK

Sounds like a fair trade ,  I'll PM you this evening........

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Nice work that mate

[Turnstone]

I really like that snake! 

[Sparky415]

Snakes to keep in your trousers.....
I wonder what you would call one of them?








 

[Andreas]

Has anyone ever made a SAK pouch using paracord?

[Stormdrane]

Has anyone ever made a SAK pouch using paracord?

I've done a few paracord pouch variations...

[Andreas]

That looks awesome! Waiting for paracord from ebay and RotoKid, hopefully some of it will be here tomorrow... don't think I'll try any pouches, but more lanyards in some nicer colors for sure

He does some awesome work Neil  go on ask me how I know 

[Andreas]

Some lanyards I made today. Got some 5mm paracord, not the easiest to work with so I'll wait for the 3mm I ordered to come before I start making anything else.

[jekostas]

Not actually paracord (it's 3mm reflective nylon guyline), but it does the job just the same, and it floats to boot.

[jekostas]

And I use these little babies as high-visibility SAK lanyards when I go hiking/camping.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Very fine work that mate

[cerbera147]

Got some paracord supplies in today including skulls 

So far I've done a quick lanyard / fob with one my skulls in black and neon orange. Haven't decided what it will be used on. I will need one for my GPS and my XE6 for quick and easy retrieval.




Also I finally got around to get a pink one done for my daughter. Sadly there was no neon pink available but I think this works quite well I am fairly confident her friend will be after one too so I'd best pull another one together.



Also got some camo cord in so a camo bracelet will be on its way soon

[Neil]

Very pretty   Not for yourself then

I quite like Essexman's paracord men and paracord snake 

I might try the men, not a chance with the snake though

[Neil]

Ditto, I've bribed him into making a couple for my boys

[Paul]

    WHO'S paracord men!!??   ...  See page 21   

[Argento]

Made some bracelets for me and my girlfriend, black/orange one.

close up of my custom made emerson vampire skulls


the thinner ones are made with a snake knot, makes good bracelets. closed with a lanyard knot and a loop, you dont need those buckles

You're right Paul, I didn't invent the paracord man, I first saw them on CPF. Infact I like yours (p21) with the knot head. I didn't come up with the snake idea either, I saw that over at CPF too! I see these and find I have to try and make them, just to see if I can do it.

Hey cerbera147 - the snake is only made up of a rattle snake knot (the tail), a snake knot (the middle) and a cobra/king cobra knot (head). You can already do the cobra, so you're nearly there!!

[cerbera147]

To be fair, I wasn't here when you posted yours Paul.

Still like Essexman's and now yours too

[Stormdrane]

For those that wear boonie hats, I put up a cheesy YouTube video for adding some paracord to it.

[Neil]

Good way of carrying a decent length of cord
