Hey Josh, I have noticed that you have woven some cords in a few places. That is fascinating work! Looks almost machine made. (which I mean as a high compliment because whenever I do something by hand it seems that an automated machine made thing always looks much better!) What I would like to ask you is: Is the weaving you do related in any way to the nautical weaving I used to see on ships? (You know, the decorative woven rails, lanyards for piping etc.) I used to see that kind of "work" all the time but never ran into anybody who actually did it. I was wondering if you learned how to do that in the Navy. I always admire it when somebody does any kind of craftsmanship like that. Nice job.

[@joshuadoss1955]

Thank you for the kind words. Yes it was the Navy that guy me started. It it's called macrimae not sure on the spelling. What was on hand rails and hatch handles is called whipping. Generally French whipping. Not only is it decorative. It provides better grip dry and wet, with the added bonus of your hand not freezing to the handle in freezing weather. Most of the deck apes and especially the old board are good at this.

[@FJ55ironpig]

Thank you. The French whipping is it was on all of the hatch handles and ladder rails

[@LeSedici]

That is brilliant. I always wanted to lengthen the straps on my vdsl meter

[@FJ55ironpig]

+LeSedici those stock straps suck. always cutting into your neck. this diy one kicks ass. Definitely worth making your own.

[@billhemphill1243]

Looks great. Can you do the tutorial?

[@twishia]

I’m planning to make a crossbody sling strap like that. How much paracord did you use for everything? Thank you in advance.

[@dssouthern]

Those metal things are swivel hooks

[@JelscreationsNmore]

Could you do a tutorial on this or on something like a cop or firefighter would use on there radio's

[@josephgeorgeejr7039]

Iam having a serious mental block with this particular knot, iam searching high an low find a good tutorial

[@rubenzamora3326]

I made one for my camera!!!!! Thank you

[@andyschmick1165]

Confused on how you made the pad...

[@FJ55ironpig]

If I remember it was 3 layers of cobra stitch

[@abesc_]

How much paracord did you start with? About how much would I need for just the base strap?

[@FJ55ironpig]

I think it was 60 feet did not use all of it

[@FJ55ironpig]

Just the strap probably 30 to 40 feet

[@bobB24-_..]

How much p cord did you use

[@FJ55ironpig]

That was about six years ago I think it was close to 100'

[@aniyahross632]

How did u start the cobra stitch

[@FJ55ironpig]

this guy explains it will.. when i did it i had 4 strands inside the stitch.

[@brentjensen85]

Are you still using this strap? How has it held up?

[@FJ55ironpig]

+Brent Jensen yes I am still works great. One of the clips broke last week. So I have to figure that out

[@brentjensen85]

FJ55IRONPIG awesome thanks! I'm thinking of making one for a radio. This is one of the most similar KZbin projects I found.

[@aniyahross632]

Yeah I’m making this for my ukulele
