You explain your tutorials with heart easy to be follow and understand in my opinion one of my the best thier is in your craft and thanks for sharing and teaching others

[@4sianFor1ife]

Nice! Thank You for the idea, I brought a belt that was too small for my needs, so ima make it longer with this tutorial, very easy to follow and understand.

[@freewayryder]

thanks for much for this, I was looking for a way to make an adjustable guitar strap for my partner. I got stuck on the buckle idea but this is exactly what im looking for... just some differences in measurements. I did the strap in the conquistador weave but couldn't figure out how to make it adjustable. this is the solution,,,, THANKKKKK :)

This is my favourite pattern for belts. It is key to control the twist that each pass of the working end through each loop puts into your cord. I found your method of using shorter lengths and splicing in new pieces, I have always used a single length. I shall try it. Thank you.

ive done numerious one piece bracelets with this stitch. I deal with the twist by running the cord through my thumb and forfinger as i dont like splicing. The twist is a bit of an issue, I also roll the cord with my right hand as I pull it through. its a pain but this stitch looks so good. I made a belt for myself which i wear all the time but i fitted it to my size wiht a buckle. I like this better as I can make them adjustable and sell them...

I love to see the love that you have for your work. ❤️

[@richardbrady2060]

Fantastic... Very well explained. I will try to make one using an old leather belt.

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

Another great video, thanks! I love leatherworking as much as tying paracord, so this "hybrid" style project is perfect for me.

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! Glad to hear it! Mark

[@thierryblehin1195]

Thank you for your informative videos, it's excellent for concentration. Congratulations

Hello again I just made a watch strap paracord bracelet like this Thanks You for the Video imma keep on Paracording

[@GaryBunker]

Great tutorial, Marko. Splicing colors has the great side benefit of not pulling fifty feet of cord through every loop!

[@Paracordguild]

Hey, glad to see you enjoy the tutorial! That is indeed the case. Some prefer to use one long cord, but sometimes it is better to have a more practical approach. While not as clean due to the splices (not a big deal in my opinion), the 2 color effect and the speed boost in using shorter cords is well worth it. Mark

great work, and thaksfor trick and tips

[@HrafnNordhri]

Very well done!

[@bittersweetaj]

Hi you make very good Tutorials, but there is a little problem you don't let us know. How do you determine the length of the cord between switching the color so that the "Manny" is not to see? I think this is the difficulty by doing a two color belt with the Conquistador! Thank you for your good work at all, I've learned a lot from your tutorials!

[@Mike-vn7ys]

Awsome work. Enjoyed watching. Can I ask where did you find your sharp point fid. Did you make it? Mike

[@davidpaul9365]

Another brilliant tutorial. I don't suppose you live in Sydney Australia ? I would happiley apply to be a student. Meanwhile I will watch your vids. Many thanks.

[@user-jz7pd3ol8d]

Hi Mark, With your help, I made a 1,25 meter black Conquistador belt (4 loops) to attach my arrow holder to. And yes, I used 40 meter of Paracord and a lot of time...The result is great, but I would like to add some subtle red stitching to it. Q1 : Do you have an idea for this or is adding stitches to this belt not a good idea, because it is so beautiful already.Q2 : I'm looking for a suitable belt holder to make ( the ring next to the buckle to hold the belt) in paracord and attached to the belt. Any Idea/link ? Thanks again for your help.

[@leviharp7925]

How do we determine waist size for the belt becuase I am wanting to make a belt with 5 coils or loops as you call them becuase it gives a good center hole for belt buckles to hook on to so I won’t be needing to add leather but I don’t know how to measure the length of paracord and I have some expensive cord I want to use for it that’s 25$ for 100 ft so I really can’t afford to not have enough cord for this due to the price of the cord

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! The easiest way to measure for a belt is to take a look at an existing belt you are using. Then you simply make a test length- let's say 3 or 4 inches and see how much cord that used up. Than simply multiply depending on the belt length. Mark

[@patrickloney5374]

Shoot, someone give this guy an Order of The Dragon and/or Garber.. totally deserves it

[@michaelsiddle837]

Why not start and finish the weave with ends of the cords behind the belt instead of in front?

[@paularyan2948]
