Star triaxial

In this tutorial I demonstrate how to do the Star triaxial. This tutorial was possible due to the work of Raquel Perez Zbornik.
This is quite an exotic technique well suited for wraps on handles, lighters, bottles and such. Bring patience with ya when doing this one!
Enjoy the tutorial!

Great job on the video, thank you for putting my pictorial in video form!! Tip: Once you've wrapped your initial 3 cords, rotate the mandrel as to loosen the cords(1 to 1 1/2 full turns of the mandrel), then fasten down. It will seem sloppy but will tighten up as you weave sets. It eliminates needing to drop to a smaller mandrel. Thanks again Marko-Paracord Guild!!!!

[@Paracordguild]

Excellent comment Raquel! Thank you for commenting here, it will surely help many! Mark

[@raquelperezzbornik551]

I love that you did the video tutorial!! Thanks for doing it!!! Great job Marko!!!

[@gerardjohnson2106]

Raquel Perez Zbornik: This will help. Tightness was concerning me. I was thinking if you could start the third sequence from the right side you could weave for an inch or so, tighten and continue as I do with the Qbert weave.

I'm gonna try and do this on a V-Star motorbike grips and if I can succeed I'm sure it'll look great, Thanks for the idea and demonstration.

[@whatsinaname7828]

Great braid but i can't seem to understand how to finish? The ends of the tubular braid have to be finished some way maybe closed at one or both ends after covering the object you intended it to cover. Maybe one closed end keeping a round flat bottom like the bottom of a water bottle that will when covered with the braided sleeve still stand upright without falling and the other end finished open but with a sinch cord allowing removel from the object its covering to be placed on a different one. A scinch cord allowing tightening of open top with a sliding knot and braided clip or clasp to attach and carry hands free? Your tutorials are verry appreciated and clear to understand with nice simple directions verbally and physically so tgank you for shareing sutch rare talent and skill. I would love to leearn how to finish this tubular braid at its ends and im sure ot bff er beginner's may have the same question. Maybe you could create a tutorial on this verry question regarding the finishing of ends of cylinder braids. Again thanks and am looking forward to learning more great skills from you.

[@russellroberts8070]

How do you end it?

[@josephlouistomasi185]

👍👍👍

[@guaise1]

so I noticed that after the wrap is done, both ends are still loose. How do you finish them?

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! The ends are finished by wrapping them tightly. An inner strand of paracord, microcord or sinew can be used. You can for example use a whipping, a series of spiral hitches, the strangle knot for this purpose. Mark

[@brrjohnson8131]

Paracord guild, I love this design but I can't 'like' it without a way to finish the ends. Don't let us drift away without being able to Sea how this ends.There's too many loose ends... Don't leave me hanging...

hello

What about the ends? how do you finish it? how do you transfer it to something else??? This was only half the needed video to make it useful.

[@wdwillard]

Great looking pattern. I am getting along quite well but i want to make sure i can get this off the mandrill on to the handle of my project. Im doing the braid on a 1 inch pvc and it need to end up on a 3/4 handle. Anytips on how to tighten it all back up after the move? More videos please!!

[@magnusguinane6189]

I have looked all over the internet, but I can't find instructions on finishing the end. My advice would be to make the leftover pieces longer (so that you have roughly three inches hanging off the object you are wrapping). Then, plait them together and singe the ends together so that they do not unravel. For the other end, simply singe the ends of the cords together (or repeat step one if you are completely covering the object). I hope this helps, and good luck fellow you tubers and paracord enthusiasts! :)

[@ShadowR4t]

Love the pattern, would it be possible to do a video on how to transfer it to a smaller rod and how to tighten it up. Thank you

[@parathings]

Again, nice job. Have you tried this 6 stands for the first half cycle? Like, 2 black and 4 white cords then the interweave? How about odd numbers for for 5, 7, or 8 cords for each color that will make 5, 6, or 8 points stats?

[@raptorf_2228]

Hi dear sir, would you please learn a wrapping for round the car steering wheel?

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! I have a tutorial on that one! kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6i1fH2PZtKUppY Mark

[@iamgroot5464]

I used this to decorate the end of a woven paracord belt. I wish I could show you, it looks so awsome! Thanks for the teaching!

[@isabelpedro2372]

so beautiful 👍👌 but it's a little bit to me to fallou the lines to make the star. I will try again and again. thanks for your lovely work 👏👏

[@jeramielokey597]

I would like to ask where do you get the flat lacing fid you use in this video? And you're videos are awesome have helped me so much.

[@DrCHUD666]

This is something I want to try. There's a walking stick that I have and been looking for something different. Question that I do have,.....with the cords that you have used in the demonstration,....what's the overall length of cords used vs. the length of the finished product??

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! Well, the three longer cords just have to wrap around for the length that you need. The cords that are woven into are just a little bit longer than the length of the product. There is basically very little cord "loss" with this weave. Mark

[@luciarovatti1132]

SCUSA MA SI PUÒ TOGLIERE DAL BASTONE?? PERCHÉ NON CI FAI VEDERE???

[@davisleemiles3113]

So why is it when people don’t post on other people’s videos a lot they feel it’s necessary to let us know that? How about just saying what you have to say? We really don’t care if you post comments on other people’s videos a lot or not. And by the way, I had a dream last night that I seen Mike Tyson in some public restroom, in the flesh. He was real cool, humble, and nice. It was in the present day, but HE was still young with hair and in his pre-tattoo days. He was very approachable. I just said hello or hi to him and either shook his hand or gave him a fist-bump-type thing, can’t really remember. I do know it was as we were on our way out of the restroom so it was definitely post the hand-washing experience, nothing weird going on at all.

[@j.g4104]

@ paracord Guild .... I have a request for you & also a challenge my friend.. I would like to see if you can do a flat American Flag out of paracord. Also a round American flag for a hicking stick...

[@queensheonkim2140]

Wow😱😱 such an awesome creative one😍😍 good job sir👌👍👍....

[@luciarovatti1132]

complimenti..il secondo passaggio è molto complicato 😅👏👏👏

[@fire1035]

Thank you for sharing this weave. How would you start and finish this to keep the loose ends from showing? This is the first project I’m doing with paracord. Creating a handle cover for a hiking staff.

[@iamgroot5464]

He has another video where he uses nails to secure it to a paddle then does s Turks head knot over that to hide it. Pretty cool!

One day, we can hope :).

[@sherry9284]

🥰🥰🥰 Truly awesome design. I like it a lot.

[@wlxgrf]

I get that he did it this way for instructional purposes. But is anyone else somewhat frustrated that this could have gone more quickly if he threaded the needle under more than one cord at a time before pulling through? 😂

[@decyrano]

an amazon affiliate link to that lacing needle, and various other supplies. would also help support your channel, while alleviating any frustration in locating the items, for your viewers

Well ive searched and searched for this size needle on amazon and they either dont sell it anymore or they call it something else. Not fid, marlin spike, leather lok, nada

I have looked all over and cannot find the lacing needle you used in the video. Do you have a link to where I can buy the exact needle? I have been using the flat head of a rifle Otis cleaning kit bit, but that’s hard to do once it’s tight. Thanks and awesome videos

[@geovannycamargo1282]

what about the endings? who do you tie them?

[@bounimlakhal23]

Very very good 👍🇲🇦🙏

[@brianfrye8139]

Absolutely amazing. Looking forward to giving it a go. Hopefully, I will be able to maintain my patience like you have. Thanks for the video/tutorial.

[@avro549B]

Very intricate. How do you secure the ends around a permanent piece, (e.g. a flashlight)? Is it best to make it on the permanent piece, or round a mandrel and then slide it? (In which case, what should the size of the mandrel be in relation to the destination?

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! There are a bunch of knots you can use to secure the cords (the strangle knot is pretty decent). A very solid and secure way is also to wrap the start and end using the inner strands of paracord or sinew, then cover the wrapped section using a turk's head knot. I'd absolutely tie this one on the piece directly. Just make sure you do it VERY loosely at the start. I hope that helps! Mark

[@avro549B]

Thanks for the information.

[@ErniePorcelliBklyn]

Hey mark, been looking at this for a while now. Any possibility we could get you to do an update video showing how you’d finish this off. Thanks

[@wynlierojas4406]

What kind of paracord did you used for this? It seems like a flat paracord?

[@NortelGeek]

Stars... or Mitsubishi logo? 😂

[@morganolfursson2560]

Am i the only one who doesn't see stars but the Mitsubishi sign ?

[@markmullinsii7026]

So if I want to do a smaller version of this I just do less wraps to begin with right. How do you estimate length of cord needed for this

WOW, this is so cool, I just had to watch it. Once I started to watch it I had to see the whole thing, how it usually happens. I don’t even do these type of things but now I feel like I do want to try to make this thing.

[@jammers7784]

[@patrykpalus5037]

[@wmflutes8632]

Great explanation. Love it

[@DrCHUD666]

for the shorter pieces,.....how many dark and how many light color are there in total.....???? (not counting the wrap around from the start). I'm trying to figure out what the count is. To me it looks like (from right to left) a total of 2 dark and 2 light and the same amount from the left to right weave. Personally this is something I want to try out. Thanks for the videos

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! There are three dimensions you need to weave. The first is done using the three longer cords (1 darker one and 2 lighter ones). The second and third are again done using a ratio of 2 lighter cords per 1 darker one. You weave each dimension by adding three smaller cords each time until a dimension is all filled up. I hope that makes some sense :). Mark

[@DrCHUD666]

Paracord guild Thanks. What I was aiming for was how many shorter cords all together......or is it one of those things where it depends on the size of the mandrill? Also,.....I have a couple of walking sticks from Cold Steel.com that I'm looking to wrap. They're kinda on the bumpy side (for reference the Irish Blackthorn walking stick and the African walking stick). With those two items,...considering that I'd be working with an non-straight surface,....what would you suggest??? Any advice would be most welcomed. And needless to say......thanks for the tutorials.

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! Indeed, the number of shorter cords depends on the size of the object you are wrapping, but the number always keeps the same ratio of dark:white color cords. As far as the walking sticks go, I think that the African walking stick is less problematic for a wrap. I'd go with a herringbone plait and interweave an additional, smaller diameter cord where the bumps are (or do fancy knots over them). Bumps are usually used in braiding as an opportunity to show fancy work. The Irish Blackthorn is not evenly bumpy though, so I would use an open wrap, one that lets the bumps stick out of the wrap, not a fully covering wrap. I hope that is at least somewhat helpful! Would love to hear more from you! Mark

[@nicolegraham4155]

Would this work on a ships helm working around spokes?

[@Paracordguild]

Hey! It can work on any cylindrical object. You will need to do it directly onto the spokes. If you do this, make sure to start your initial wrap loosely to make your work easier. It can be a superb project, but you should count on quite a bit of work. Mark
