How to make a Paracord Handle Wrap

[@haukepowers8491]

I remember this lacing from Scouts in the 1960s...this is not even taught anymore...turk head nickerchief slides were a sign that you KNEW your knots....when i n boot camp, I was assigned to teach others their basic knots...I had a blast !!! Excellent video...brings back a lot of happy relaxing memories....God bless ya !!

[@Cycg8gx8]

Navy?

[@stephenmccauley5531]

This is the best video that I've come across to demonstrate the Turk's Head knot. I appreciate how clearly and slowly you showed how to form the leads and bights and use the fid. Finally, I get how to do this! Thanks!

[@MikadoRyugaminae]

This is the best video I've seen for how to do a turks head knot. I have been watching a lot of how to's for it and this is the one that makes sense to me. No talking, just up close and personal for how it's done and I finally get it. Thank You!

[@fobriste]

Better than all of the videos of the same thing. Your attention to detail and slow, methodical instruction make you amazing. I now understand how it works, not just how to repeat it.

[@akajd5907]

👍🏼Using the Turks Head Knot at each end of this handle weaver is very handsome and practical. Duplicated this wrap with 550 paracord on a handguard rail for an AR15 and also used the more robust 750 paracord for a Rock Island Armory VR80 12ga Semi-Auto Shotgun handguard rail for "heat mitigation" with rapid firing of shotgun ammo. This handle weave complements both firearms well. Thank you sir for your inspired tutorial for my some what unique application of this wrap among most of your subs and viewers I believe. 🇺🇲Stay well. Go in peace.

[@marccooley6132]

I have had these on 3 different aluminum hiking poles for years and they have not come apart even though I didn't use the wood hardener. I just add one to another hiking pole and expect to hold up just as well. Glad this video is still up because this is the best hiking pole wrap I know of.

[@sdarcher3964]

followed this and put a nice grip on my hiking stick. worked great! couldnt get it as tight as i wanted it, so instead of the wood hardener, i poured boiling water over the wrap, and it shrunk down enough that it doesnt move at all. works great!

[@danielhanawalt4998]

I've watched a few videos on how to Paracord wrap a handle and yours looks the best. Looks like it would be there beyond when the cows come home.

[@kenmoon6466]

absolutely beautiful paracord handle,made a hiking staff for my son and was wondering how to apply a paracord handle to it.You solved my problem within mins.very informative and a delight to learn from you.Thank you.

[@mikesheridan2]

I just replicated your wrap on the end of a hiking staff. Thanks for putting the video out. I actually ended up twisting the whole weave to get a diagonal presentation of the knots. It looks cool and it tightened the cord around he staff significantly. I essentially twisted the top op the weave counter clockwise and the bottom of the weave clockwise until it was taut.

[@PPhlog]

Thank you for this video. I have been looking at videos for a month trying to figure out the Turks head knot. Very clear instruction. And the wrap on my walking stick/flute looks great.

[@redmist1122]

So far I've used this video to making some really cool handle designs for going-away gifts from the office. Thanks again for an exceptional and very helpful video. Take care.

[@maccymcdonagh900]

Thanks for this, it will look unique on bike, appreciate your kind patience making this, the guitar-work is a bonus!!

[@Fab4Sunrises]

Very helpful and clear! I tried this with pars cord and with flat suede laces and it came out very handsome both times.

[@robo52]

Great video/music and the end results are worth the time and effort. One thing I noticed by accident after doing a couple of these on hatchets; if you are right handed it feels much better to have the "spine" of loops outwards rather than into the palm of your hand. As you start the center wraps, just a matter of watching which way your axe blade is pointing. With the axe laying horizontal in front of you with the axe head to your left, keep the blade pointing away from you if you are a right hander. A left hander would want to have the axe blade pointing towards you. That should get the most comfortable grip for use.

[@LazyManPrepper1]

Took me 4 tries on the one end but only 1 on the other. I poured boiling water over the handle instead of using the wood hardener. Worked great.

[@Silverity1]

Great tutorial- I used it to paracord wrap my hatchet. Worked surprisingly well, especially for my first time ever doing it. Feels good, looks better.

[@CptJera]

I did make a discovery on the turk's head knot pattern. If you're putting this knot on a larger diameter staff or object, the left-over-right / right-over-left starting pattern will have to be repeated in the beginning stages of the wrap. Otherwise, you'll end up with a section that appears to have the "stitches" oversized from the rest of the pattern. Just remember to do this in sets of two. That is, for example, left-over-right once, right-over-left once, then repeat both. Hope this is helpful.

[@Bluesidian]

omg Finally a Video where the person is not blazing through as if they have better things to do. Thanks for taking your time buddy!!

[@jaredmgross]

Great video! I just put this wrap on my Fiskars hatchet and I love the way it looks. I didn't use any needles, just my bare hands. It was more difficult but not impossible.

[@haukepowers8491]

by hand is the BEST WAY...that way you FEEL your work...congrats !!

[@animjason]

Used this video to tie awesome handle on my Woodbadge stave. Thanks! I added a loop on top woggle to add some fobs to. I did right after I stained the stave so it sits in place very well on its own. Will add boiling water if there is slippage once completely dried.

[@brandonboos2952]

Using this video for the same purpose. 😀

[@dichromanjb]

This is the first video i've ever seen that makes me understand a Turks head knot,i could kiss you friend, thank you so much.

[@howardriehl2038]

WOW! I was absolutely mesmerized watching you work. Thank you!

[@dfedxb1]

Thank you for this!!! i used this on a custom knife that i made for a retirement gift for a coworker! The video was very easy to follow!! This gave the knife a very awesome finished look!!

[@Jimmbo11111a]

@David - If you want to leave the paracord for emergency use you can drill a small hole at each end of the grip to tie it off. @Paracord 101 - appreciate you taking the time to post this. Good vid. Thanks.

[@Paracord101]

+Jim Bo Great idea!

[@holland1904]

+Jim Bo what kind of knot would you tie it off with? God bless.

[@lynnwillis441]

Thanks for the video. I'm using it on a walking stick given to me by a friend. And thanks for the Josh Woodward! Love this guy. I have an autographed copy of Only Whispering.

[@michaelmartin988]

Thank you, good video and music for this too, even my wife enjoyed it while I followed along. Really good music to relax while following along.

[@LuisGonzalez-oy6hc]

Thanks for doing this, you made it look so effortless. The music was on point especially when things were getting rough while working on Turks head knot. I definitely wished I knew this head knot would semi tighten itself while working through the sequence but overall it came out well thanks to this video.

[@raylefresne8019]

Well produced and easy to understand video . The music was also a really nice choice . Thankyou

[@schopenhauer1962]

Best tutorial I saw, pace is just right ! Thanks !!

[@FranchiseSIX5]

A Tip: If you don't have the needle to push through, the small needle-nose pliers you use to sinch it up works great to pull the ends through the loops.

[@darwingraves308]

Great job! One of the best tutorials I've seen on tying a turk's head.

[@MusicforMe123]

That is a work of art, thank you for posting!!!

[@thecourtlyalchemist]

Going to use this to wrap the end of a hammer my dad made in 1947. I guess his hand was smaller than mine because it never felt right. This is going to make it my hammer that my dad and I made. Thanks! Subscribed!

[@bigscoop91]

Excellent video! I think my girlfriend will be very pleased with her new walking staff tomorrow for our anniversary. Thank you! 3/21/2021

[@troytaylor1123]

Son and I just finished wrapping his Trail Life USA Troop Standard (walking stick w/badges attached). It looks great and I think it will last for sure!

[@billythorough3787]

Nice video, very comprehensive, good pace. Beautiful guitar work! Please tell us who it is!

[@DecadesDiner]

Excellent video. Patient and thorough. How was the lanyard tied and finished on the ends

[@edwardmorton6691]

Love these skills being shared on KZbin. Ill definitely be using this pattern on my walking staff that I've recently made. Thank you for the idea and for sharing your knowledge.

[@betterdeal11]

The best video slow and easy to follow, thank you for making it so clear that anyone can follow.

[@VidarrKerr]

Using Wood Hardener was an excellent tip! Thanks!

[@madewithsticks7603]

I just used this wrap on the exposed metal on the handle of a 14" Estwing and it looks pretty cool. Nice video!

[@nerdonendor]

Is it possible to do this without using the wood hardener or boiling water and damaging the paracord, like if I wanted to keep the paracord usable in an emergency?

[@dianaolivarez7020]

I like it, thank you for the demonstration in doing it, thank you.

[@thomasschroth817]

I use more cord, start with turkshead, measure the remainder. That way you will have an idea how much cord was used in the turkshead, and how much wrapping you can do before tying last turkshead. Great idea about the wood hardener.

[@grahamphillips1115]

How much cord IS required for the turkshead?

[@koretechx1]

I'm a complete beginner. Does the wood hardener keep the wrap secure to the wrapped item? Say, if I did this to a baton would that keep the cord from sliding right off during swinging it? Or would I want to put some glue around the bottom edge of the wrap?

[@shives007]

Like how this gives you nice finishes on both ends. Wish I had seen this long ago.

[@lecobra418]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm currently making an hand carved short takedown bow and it'll look good on it! Can't wait to have it finished and try it out haha!

[@walterdominguez7391]

De Que medida es el cordón thank you my friend

[@arthurgran731]

I make tree spirit walking sticks and want this wonderful finished and quality look. Excellent video!👍👍👍

[@grantbaldwin2236]

I want to try this and have a few questions. 1. What is the metal tool called for threading the cord to make the Turks head knot? 2. Have you also done a video showing how to make the wrist loop (including the name of the little metal clamp incorporated into it). 3. Who is the best supplier(s) for the items needed? 4. Have you done a video that shows how to make a paracord handle wrap in different blocks of colour...to depict a National flag for example? Many thanks.

[@annapeterson5897]

This will be an upcoming project for my Wakizashi.

[@alfisk5234]

I would like to wrap the wood buttstock of my lever action rifle for both visual appeal(not a huge fan of the rubber or leather pads) and for the shoulderpad protections, but i dont know what the best knot for it would be, could you point me in the right direction for some manner of tutorial, or possibly give us a tutorial yourself? thank you in advance

[@johnmichaels4330]

What is the wood hardener being used for? Is it a glue? If so, couldn't we use some regular waterproof wood glue on the shaft? Don't want to change the feel of the paracord.

[@Paracord101]

It is like a glue. You can also wet the cord to shrink it and it will tighten the cord.

[@johnmichaels4330]

@@Paracord101 thank you for answering.

[@taylororear8283]

I am just starting to do wraps, what I would like to know is, how do you thread the cord into the tool? I have one but have no luck threading the cord into the tool.

[@CapitalWheeler]

Nice gold color. Thank you

[@shanzehazeemi9676]

U Earned a subscriber...... Thanks

[@TacticoolGear]

Thank you for the great video. I really appreciate the repetition; it really helped me to concentrate on weaving a wrap for my new Xbox one headset. Slice of missense under for a snug fit. Couldn't have done it without your video. Thank you 😍😍

[@Pressingontoperfection]

Whats the wood hardener do ?

[@dieselkilgore]

How well will the wrap hold up without an epoxy or hardener? I would like to wrap plastic like this, say my steering wheel for example, but I would be weary to use an epoxy to keep it secure. Any alternatives or leave it uncoated? Thanks

[@Paracord101]

Paul Mendoza If the cord has not been exposed to water, one could dampen it so it will shrink and tighten.

[@BuntingClipClop]

Fantastic instructional video!!! Thank you so much!

[@selador11]

How would you do this for a cane handle? Keeping in mind the cane is made of PVC pipe. With first a 90* fitting off the cane, then a 45* fitting, then a round cap to finish it off. So, not just a sweeping curve.

[@rudychavira5558]

Very nice, got one until Turks head really like it, thanks for video, that blue threading tool? Where do you get

[@fernandogsoto]

Nice work. Thanks for your posting!!!!

[@mydogsparty]

what kind of scissors did you have in this video to cut the paracord? i’ve never seen scissors like that before.

[@NetVoyagerOne]

Gonna do this with leather cord for the grip of my bow!

[@michealpattison2120]

Much better so much easier looks and feels great

[@n3tuf]

I've seen this wrap on a Japanese Samurai sword handle my Dad had. Always wanted to see how it was done. Very nice wrap. I'll be doing it on my walking stick.

[@string-bag]

Superb tutorial.

[@TheWtfnonamez]

Putting the "art" into arts-and-crafts. Really great vid dude.... the music is weirdly chill and relaxing too. +1 and subbed... with 100metres of paracord in the other room... looking forward to seeing if i can actually do something remotely like this. Thanks for the info.

[@dfcvda]

my thoughts and goals exactly.

[@bushlifeaholick790]

Very cool&like the way you made it easy to fallow thanx man

[@chibi0ecchi]

do you think a wrapp like this could work on a bicycle?

[@jamespunch8049]

Beautiful work, I envy your skills.

[@DROY2004]

Don't know if anyone answered the question about cord needles or fids; 2 sources, (1) Get aluminum screw- together threaded bolts used for scrap booking ( don't know the name, Hobby Lobby, Walmart) 2" w/ ext + 1" ext will get 3"w/ is what most use, grind carriage type heads off & sharpen on grinder, (2)I use an aluminum gun cleaning rod, they have threaded sections u can cut to fit on the none threaded end & u don't need the grind carriage heads off & cut ext, just sharpen & use..the smoother the fid, the easier the task! Good Luck!

[@andyb.1643]

Now, THAT’S a genius idea! I had a brass shortie sitting around and cut it off and ground it down, finished it off with sandpaper, and made an excellent fid out of it. Saved twenty bucks and impressed my grandson at the same time! The threads on a gun cleaning rod work really well, and the metal’s soft enough to work with pretty quickly. Thank you very much.

[@occipitalneuralgia2339]

What kind of scissors are you using here? They are quite different.

[@reidbuckley7]

Will the wood hardener completely change the color of paracord? I like the color as is and don't want to discolor it.

[@keitasomerville7093]

hey... just wondering what your scissors are called and if you know where i can get a pair! they look amazing!

[@tominman2994]

Todd, thank you for posting this! ! I. Installing it on my cherry qtr staff now!

[@rileyjensen6727]

How does the wood hardener hold up? That’s pretty interesting. I plan on trying this out for my marsh mellow roaring stick! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@Markus__B]

Nice Handle Wrap. This will make a good Protection-Wrap for my Bicycle Fork. Thanks M8.

[@Toys0714]

On this walking stick you have a wrist loop that has two knots with a bead in between. What is the name of that knot so that I can look up how you made it? Thanks.

[@mikelagaffe]

Just did iy on a spear handle, with red paracord . It isnt as good looki g as yours since its my first experience at wrapping....but Thing just looks gorgeous thanks to this very easy to follow instruction video. But i had a real hard time threading the turks head because i didnt have a threading needle like yours, and its not as tight as id like ,but ill try again soon and make it better😎

[@AndysDogHouse]

Nice work. I want to wrap the handle of my walking cane. It is made from a tree branch so it is not smooth or uniform. Will this type of wrap hold its shape with the pressure of my hand pressing down on it??? I was thinking about using leather instead of para cord. Thanks for sharing. I subbed you channel to watch more of your fantastic work. I would also like to wrap the steering wheel of my truck.

[@fludrbywest3886]

[@Paracord101]

Thanks for watching!

[@DavidFraser007]

I added this to my walking staff, I didn't use the wood hardner though. It looks and feels great. Is it possible to use leather cord ?

[@CrucesNomad1]

Where did you get your watch? Great video.

[@boathousejoed9005]

thinking of trying this in place of oar leathers....opinion?

[@shellysmith3640]

5 star video! i have some boar tusks from a successful hunting trip. i want to make a bracelet out of them. my idea is to secure the tusk ends together with something tubular like a thick gauge wire so i can put a slight bend to complete the curve. then use the handle wrap to cover the wire and overlap the tusks on either side a bit. this is my first attempt at anything like this. any advice? do you think i should be concerned about the wrap traveling?

[@boneob]

Really nice looking wrap. I really like the idea of the coating at the end to make it secure. Wouldn't it also be a good idea to orient the crossing of the half hitch so that it would align in your fingers for a better grip if this were to be placed on a working tool?

[@edgarblake-l5c]

Great job!

[@theanarchist2746]

And could this be used for an knife handle? I want to make an karambit out of an wrench (size 24), but I don't know if it would be too big if you know what I mean, or maybe I could take out the inner rope, I don't know but if you have any tips, I would really like to hear them.

[@theurbanwoodsman747]

Thanks for the video. I need to protect my Axe handle and I don't have any leather to wrap it with so I will use paracord to protect it and a bonus will be having cord when I need it.

[@marcelosanches3397]

Nice work, thanks for share, I'll use on my knife handle

[@hlzranger]

Where do we get the "needle" like piece you where using? Or what is it called?

[@Ikdulo]

im definitely going to use this on my next project.

[@riccdavila5445]

Do you offer knife handle wrapping services ?
