Looking good.

Hi all

Thought I would post up a few of the latest lanyards/bracelets I have made...

That's an odd looking clasp...is the ring part spring loaded...where you pull it to pull back a pin so the clasp can open?

Stormdrane · **Reply #96 on:** May 03, 2008, 09:42:31 PM

That's called a snap shackle. They're typically used in boating/sailing and it certainly looks good and functional as deano has applied it with paracord for lanyard duty.

Wikipedia info.

Hi

Yep, Dave's right-on with that. Its a lovely shackle (not the cheapest on the planet) but very sturdy.

One mod I did do was upgrade the split pin that initialy came with the shackle to a size that I could use just with one hand.

Here are a few more pixs:

Here's a simple lanyard with a doubled lanyard knot, short loop on one end, long loop on the other, with the ends hidden in the knot. There's an online tutorial for it on the KHWW website posted by Bud Brewer.

It's not the Fin, it's the original model that I bought a year and a half ago.

My younger stepson is having a end of school party coming up with a few of his friends and I made them some paracord bracelets.

edap617 · **Reply #102 on:** June 01, 2008, 05:42:36 AM

Very nice. Is there a stiffener inside the bracelets Prime?

In the beginning it took a awhile to get them right. Know it takes about ten minutes

edap617 · **Reply #105 on:** June 01, 2008, 05:59:00 AM

Do you know of a tutorial link on how to do it Prime?

I have made several zipper pulls but I have not tried making that kind of weave.

Everything I have learned to make out of paracord I learned from Stormdrane's Blog
http://stormdrane.blogspot.com/
His blog is very helpful and he has links to tons of sites and how to make things.
Here is a link to one of Stormdranes how to make bracelets.

My stepson thinks it's cool how you attach the bracelet together. I drilled a hole in a penny.

Prime, thanks for the links. This will keep me busy for the next few hours.

Eddie, you must have a lot of zips!

Great work Prime.

Got a sharpener at the meet (thanks Dunc

) and thought i'd give it some paracord clothes

Benner · **Reply #111 on:** July 13, 2008, 03:02:26 PM

I think we all do well with freebies at the meet.

I know I did.

Where abouts do people in the UK get their paracord from? I've only ever seen 50ft bundles in green packaged by Gelert in the UK and its horrible stuff, every pack is full of frayed parts and i want more colors
