Got Paracord?

Some work with 0.9mm cord for a two bight turks head knot and common whipping on a small stainless steel anchor shackle(bow shackle/clevis). It sort of looks like a mini chest becket...

A few bits from me……

Knife lanyard

A couple of monkey fists with loops

Leather monkey fist

And more

Excellent knot work

And the wire wrapping to crimp the leather loop on the monkey's fists is a nice touch too.

Cheers Stormdrane. You know I just had some wire sitting at work that looked right, and it worked well. The 6 monkey fists were for a customer, so I supplied the wire for him to attached after installing the lanyard.

Never underestimate the amount of cord required for a new project. You would think 160 foot would be enough for a heavy duty dog lead…

Fixed that...

I undone the handle and re did it again in twisted cobra.

No I don't!! I do have 8yr old and 4 yr old girls, but I've been told I'm not allowed to use it on them for some reason.

I'm all in favour of putting a collar on our teenager - they are mostly stupid at this age it seems

Hey teacher, leave those kids alone!

Bracelets I made ......

Essexman · **Reply #791 on:** April 19, 2011, 09:33:19 PM

Bit of a worry, my four year old was having a snack tea the other night. She likes those cheese strings things. I turned round after a cople of minutes to find this! :O

She couldn't understand why I wanted her to wait while I found the camera.

Stormdrane · **Reply #792 on:** April 20, 2011, 02:34:43 PM

A long 2 bight turks head knot hat band, tied with 30 ft of paracord on one of my boonie hats...

Syph007 · **Reply #793 on:** April 21, 2011, 03:52:32 PM

I use paracord for the usual lanyards etc, but my specialty is making paracord belts. I make these with only 2 strands of cord in total. Each about 80 ft.

MeadMaker · **Reply #794 on:** April 21, 2011, 05:04:57 PM

Here are a few items that I have made. Stormdrane's Blog and TIAT's videos have been a great help.

I've tied some other items like key fobs, zipper pulls and lanyards, but I gave them all away. The flashlight in the picture below is now in Iraq with my son.

Gareth · **Reply #795 on:** April 22, 2011, 07:36:18 PM

I don't say it very often but there really is some excellent work being show in this thread.

Essexman · **Reply #796 on:** April 25, 2011, 06:47:38 PM

I followed these instructions by JD of TIAT to make a sea turtle knot.

My first attempt, could be neater, and I made a few mistakes on the way.

The smile on my four year olds face made it worth the effort, now I need to make another for my 8 year old!

Thanks for the kind words, but I only followed the details provided by JD, anyone can do it! Really, get some cord, sit down, you can do it.

..And now a small lanyard for my SAK....

Made this for my wife's keychain.

Essexman · **Reply #801 on:** May 24, 2011, 09:03:44 AM

prime77 - I like the neon pink and black combo, works well.

Here's the rest for the order I had last week....very Orange

I made this the other week for a knife forum meeting in London.

Stormdrane · **Reply #802 on:** May 24, 2011, 04:23:47 PM

I put a tutorial up on the instructables site, for a 'cross knot'(ABoK#808) paracord lanyard, for those that want to give it a try...

GraysonK · **Reply #803 on:** May 30, 2011, 07:19:04 PM

A couple of new leashes I made for the dogs yesterday.
Both are 8 strand square sinnet, used about 20ft of cord per color.
One is Royal blue, navy, and silver
One is rose pink, purple, and black (Kim picked the colors)
