/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Hopefully this link works. Its about 30 tutorials on paracord stuff. PARACORD: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtIv9Yas51OeusJRrJDxDnaWOpyMH7DKz

Was the point of this thread to incite anger?

>>1243077
No why? I just discovered some cool things i didn't know existed and though maybe some other anons woukd be interested. A 100 foot roll can be had in the states for abou $8. It's a hobby that requires little movement and is easy to get started but can be scaled up.

>>1243080
Ok then. I guess my jimmies just get russled whenever somebody has more boring hobbies then I.

Night sight beads.

No sunlight or battery required for years

>>1243081
LOL. Yeah, well. I have a lot of freetime at work sometimes. And to be honest i need a hobby before i go crazy. This was the easiest and cheapest one. I figured some of the less fortunate anons could all jump on the bandwagon together.


Tritium bead inserts.

>>1243081
Hell its pretty usefull just to have or easy to wrao a steering wheel or gear shift and if u ever need rope just tare it off. Im not much a fan of jewelry but i do have my shifter wraped. Or did rather. Last week my neighbors dog got loose and wouldnt come to me. So i baited it with my lunch and tied it up with water in the shade on their front porch. They got home in 1 hour but didnt have to worry. And i had a camera on her so if the sun moved too much or she needed water i could call someone.
I jave a hard time prooerly wraping handles. But they do look cool when properly done.

>>1243082
Tritium?

>>1243084
After much research it seams tritium bead inserts are illegal for us here in freedomland. At least not without metric tons of paperwork and shit. It seems we are allowed to have plastic encased keychains and such but not the small glas viles.

So do your own homework.

Also, for anyone where this shit is legal, if u break one RUN. The tritium gas inside can give u radiation sickness. U should be fibe from what i read just dont breath, kick doors open on the way outside, and let it air out.

Im told skin contact is no big but say u huffed one. Long slow painful death.

Again i am barely above potatoe intelligent. I just dont want anons hurt.

anyone know how one of these things works?

>>1245195
Highly related to knitting, crochet. If you can tie a slipknot than you ought to be able to figure it out.

>>1243560
You retard the little ones are not illegal here. It's just the good shit that's hard to get.

>>1243560
So, it's like passive smoking then.

The smallest keychains are 30 bucks from Aliexpress. But would be extremely fun to have one.

>>1243560
Your paperwork is probably relevant to selling them, not buying.

I got a tritium gun sight with no paperwork, you can also get tritium compasses with no paperwork.

>>1243075
I was into it for a while. Made stuff for people I knew, for a little money. Made the typical bracelets, along with dog collars, belts and a few other various things. I made all of them to be easily unwoven for emergency use. Untie one knot and pull and the whole thing would come apart.

A dog collar I made for my boss at the time.

>>1245352
And nothing that impressive, but I liked wrapping handles of my camping equipment with paracord, because you never know...

>>1243084

i don't know what u would do with those. but they look sweet.

>>1243082

intradasting.

I wasn't sure what to do with a few extra feet so I wrapped it around the stock. Apparently this stuff is strong enough that the gun will break before the sling will.

>>1245216
Kind of want a knit paracord sweater now.

>>1245763
if that is real paracord it breaks at or above 550 pounds of tensile force...that looks like 10 or 11 lengthwise strands.

will a shotgun break if you bend it with 5000+ pounds of force at either sling-lug?

>>1246384
Well, there should be one way to find out....

>>1246384
I'd imagine the swivel studs would strip the steel threads out before the barrel or receiver were damaged. Likely the loops the sling are threaded through would break before anything. Its 1/4's rod steel. I'm sure someone more in the know than I could find the most likely mode of failure. Either way, it would require more force than any human could survive without injury.

I've made 2 slings to date, its cheaper than buying a sling (even the cheapest ones) and doesn't look absolutely terrible.

People who are obsessed with it are annoying, the ones who think it's going to save their lives one day. Still made a few things with it.

Bracelets, "Trilobite" is my favourite pattern.
Wrapped the handle of a bat with spikes
Wrapped the handle of a machete
Flogger
Collar/choker
Monkey fist keychain
Big monkey fist "self defense" thing
I remove the insides and use it as wire shielding for usb and audio cables.

Thinking about making a water bottle holder next.

>>1243088
>I jave a hard time prooerly wraping handles

You also have a hard time spelling. Your post makes me embarrassed to admit I ever had an interest in paracord crafts.

>>1243560
you can buy them on ebay

>>1245195
Sure anon. Paracord gets twisted easy but i have seen it done. Consider looking at the ones for yard weaving. They are more popular and widely used.

>>1245234
:( i mean just the glass viles with no acrylic over it. As in the bead inserts.

>>1245349
Gun sights are one of the few less regulated. I find keychains a lot but i dont want to get v& for making a fucking bead

>>1245352
Pretty cool anon. That's about where i was and kind of lost interest. But now i find myself short on cash with a vit of free time

>>1245755
A lot of people cast beads and shit. They have an insert for glowing eyes and shilt. Looks like fun for sure.

>>1245234
>>1245349
>>1246757
>>1246754

So, uh, HYPOTHETICALLY, say I came across some expired tritium exit signs and wanted to salvage the tubes for...IDK a mobile or something.

Am I gonna get v&? What if I put up a YouTube video about it? Superv&?

>>1245763
>Apparently this stuff is strong enough that the gun will break before the sling will.

Anon I was 280pounds on a Harley and my hondabro towed me 30 fucking miles down the interstate with my paracord bracelet.

Haven't left home without coordage since.

Pushed that mutherfucker for mikes until i just couldn't.

>too bad we don't have a rope, i coukd just pull u.

Mfw

>>1246320
6,000 feet and weigh 60 pounds. Lol, i wanted to make a blanket but after doing the math... may wait a bit on it.

Would be tight af tho.

Perhaps summer attire is the way to go?

>>1246384
I would bet. Thats picking up a half ton truck.

>>1246456
And handy if u end up stuck

>>1246644
Well, i try not to overdo it. Not gonna save my life. The bic lighter i carry in my watch pocket might, but im seldom ever more than a mile from people.

It is beyond handy as fuck if you do the redkneck camping like i do.

>>1246720
Well, until i get a little more familiar with the law i will hold off. Bit if anons want and can be careful with them good luck to u and post pics!

>>1246751
*yarn...

>>1246761
It apears so anon. Likely not tho if that is all u have. Not only os it dangerous but it is used in weopons manufacturing. You should have several thousands times less than the dangerous v& levels but i wouldnt make a fucking youtube of it.

paracord weaving is the gayest shit. the original point was to have something you could unravel into usable cordage, but none of these fuckers are ever gonna undo their precious sling or cheek weld or whatever, and carry a bundle of rope anyway.

Paracord looks absolutely terrible and is pretty slick to the touch. if you're going to make something out of some kind of cord, get a proper good looking or nice and grippy line for it, not literal polyester shoelaces

>>1246644

I bought the golf ball at the thrift store, and paracord from home depot. I went back to the thrift store to find 20-30 golf balls for 5 bucks, and plan to make more of these. I think im gonna do the pineapple pattern next time.

>>1247092
I find them when I go walking, they aren't dense enough so I bought big marbles. pinballs would be ideal.

>>1247056
It's relaxing, like doing a jigsaw puzzle. Chill out. But you are a faggot if you think it's for survival.

>>1247140
a golf ball? I figured it would be perfect, it gets smacked around a lot anyways.

>>1247092
for other reasons I had 500 rubber bounce-balls. so I made a bunch of these and used them as awards and goals and parts of a scavenger hunt while I was a climbing instructor at a boy-scout camp.

they are also great for throwing at kids who won't pay attention.

>>1247140
>pinballs
but aside from sneaking into the bowling alley and tearing into it's pinball machines, how do I get those?

>marbles
usually too small unless you buy several sets for the shooter-marbles

>>1247092
>no sex toys

>>1247381
Got any tutorials on making cool little monkey fists like that? I want to get into Paracord weaving as a form of meditation to focus on, but not sure where to start.

Also, do you have to use a jig?

>>1247430
I do use a jig, it's just 3 really smoothly sanded rods or wires(if you know a person in the oil industry get them to find you some slickline wire it's FUCKING AMAZING for lots of things and what I am using for my jig)

as for meditation or focus you might check out the paracord whip thread. you can burn hours on one of those in calm simple action

>>1247462
FOUR rods...FOUR

you might also pick up a few lacing needles and/or a marline spike too.

and the spike is also cool because you can use them to pick apart tough knots and things

>>1247462
Hmm I could probably make one of those without too much trouble. I have Dremel and some other bits and pieces, so drilling a few holes for some bits of metal or wooden rod wouldn't be too tricky. Is a jig like that useful for more than just monkey fists? Or do you really need something a bit more multipurpose?

>>1246773

>>1247513
if you want to do more than that, and if you have enough epoxy and good stout smooth rods you might make a jig-board.

drill a bunch of holes in a board and use removable or replaceable pins/pegs/rods/clamps

this is especially important for things like precision length portions of strap stitch.
>pic related here
parts of a harness like that are easier to make if you have a variable-jig.

>>1247570
What's that?

>>1247462
Anon wtf is slickline wire. I grew uo in the oil field and never heard of it.

PROTIP: if you got any pump shops around, especially around shallow wells (sub 3,000 feet) they normally test the ball and seat in pumps and if they dont seal they toss them.

>wire wheeled and cleaned off shiny new looking steel balls of various sizes.

If you offer the dudes in the back that build pumps a bottle of pop once a week or a month to throw the balls in a bucket for you then you will have a lifetime supply of stainless steal balls.

I am currently looking into taping threads in them to hold cord so you can start a monkey fist with like 8 colors if you want.

>>1247430
Not him but youtube is a ron of help for beginners anon. You will notice the guys with the most veiws tend to have a ton of informative tutorials

>>1247388
Shhh....

>>1247381
>pinballs.

Pretty much. Those are stainless steel balls tho.

Just visit a paracording sire or amazon or google. You will likely want 1 1/2" stainless steel ball.

Couple bucks each or so and worth it.

I got lucky af one time.

Was with some bros at a bar and had one on a keychain lanyard.

100% sober.

Some autist hollers at me by the wrong name.

"I tole u ise fone whoooop yo ass.

Getfuckt.jpg.

He stumbles up with a balled up fist and i just whacked him in his fucking kidney with it. Probably half strength or less.

Hits the ground.

I drive off.

Well worth having imo.

>>1247141
This for the most part.

And yes anon actually i give handfulls of key chains out and tell my friebds use all u want and i will replace it if it's a half assed interesting story or pic. Its worth my free time and some coordage for cheap entertainment.

I have seen the shit used from hanging tv's on the wrong wall mount to tying up home invaders.

>>1247739
it was a decorative arm binder I made for a young lady to wear around BDSM parties.

the finished product holds the arms behind the back and the head back thrusting the boobs outward.

>>1247772
>Anon wtf is slickline wire.
you must have never worked with people using down-hole tools?

it's single-strand wire for running down-hole tools

>shiny steel balls
>and how to get them
we didn't have a pump shop, we made sand and oil-water-gas separators.
I had a guy saving me R and BX rings for stuff.

>>1247388
son, you're parroting back the word of the rules and not the intent.

and if you don't know the intent of the rule you're too young to know the difference...

>>1247140
>>1247381
You can get a 1 inch steel ball bearing on amazon for less than a dollar if you buy it 10 of them. That's what I would do. I kinda wanna try this now, instructions for the paracord wrapping part?

>>1247865
mine was just a standard monkey's fist with a cobra-stitched tail on it

>>1247899
>No officer, that is not a prohibited weapon.
>why am I being taken to jail?

>>1246769
I've seen better methods for warming my balls.

>>1247834
Well we never did fux with packers much.
(Thank god) and most of the time they were used. Just gotta jerk and turn on them to get them loose.

I have a buddy that built downhole tools for a decade tho.

>>1247865
Youtune "monkey fist" or paracord monkey fist or 1 inch monkey fist.

Tons of solid guides there. Its a little finiky. Jist go slow and take your time and be very careful barely snugging them up, and then go around and tighten it a little at a time.

Perhaps dunk in boiling water and let air dry. It shrinks and will make it even tighter.

You can ise your fingers but i followed a quick guide using a 2x4 and 4 pencils stuffed in holes like peggs to hold the ball so you can work around.

Its cheap entertainment if nothing else.

You'll likely barely be able to support your hobby but its something to keep you busy

>>1247899
BRO. That quick release. Please god tell me that fits on a bike clutch lever. Im supposed to make a fuckton of get back whips for a biker club and can't find the proper size or place to buy.

>>1247901
Typically they hang on the clutch lever of a bike so you can whip a fucking car windshield or if some autist fucks with you you just snatch it off and deliver a beat down. Cost 10 bucks to make. Just chuck it off the next bridge on the way by

>>1247920
Kek. Well that is a bikini top but whatever works for you.

Heat treat titanium oc i stole from a fb knife making page

>>1247928
Apart from distilling, none of my hobbies support themselves, it's all for the fun and to get my mind off work. Can't bother myself stressing about how much it's costing me in money or time. As long as I keep enjoying it.

>>1247931
>just chuck it off the next bridge
So you're openly planning to vandalize other's property, or commit acts of violence and your plan is to toss it off a bridge?

Have you never seen an episode of COPS?

>>1247933
>Makers mark is a fedora.

>>1247926
>I have a buddy that built downhole tools for a decade tho.
ask him
he'll know
shits really good on it's own if you can get it stretch-straightened

it doesn't weld worth a good goddamn
but it bends cleanly with not much heat
holds the bends
it makes a DAMN FINE electrode for spark-gaps
and that shit is smooth like a baby-butt

>>1247929
no idea, it was a nifty picture I found
but if I was a betting man...

>>1247901
as far as I understand
it's a legal loophole weapon

>>1248120
Its just like the chain on chain wallets. If you have one you look like a douche. If you use it to assault someone, you get assault with a weapon. The charge more than doubles the punishment.

So if you're caught by a cop for other things, they'll readily see it as a weapon and hit you with another charge even if you're not doing a violent crime. Its just stupid to carry one.

>>1248121
not how I've seen it work, granted I've only seen it once.

the cops couldn't stick the charge and somehow lost the counter-suit (i forget how his lawyer got them for it) but he ended up on the winning side because of his "fashion and wallet security chain"

>>1248120
I think these look cool as fuck. I wanna learn how to make that shit. Where do you get the spikes?

>>1248232
I have no idea.

but then, I know a Machinist with a hard-on for his lathe. so if I ever make one I'll be able to get some really nice spikes.

>>1248237
Anon you should do uo a bunch of smaller ink pen sized or a little larger points for picking apart knots and shit.

He could sell boxes of them to oaracord shops

>>1248120
Nice! Jacobs ladder when!

>>1247980
Not many. And im not planning shit.

I lied also but since im triggered i will tell u my plan.

And im not planning on fucki ng shit uo its just in case. Like yesterday. I make it 1 mutherfuckibg mile and some autist pulls right on out in feont of me and almost kill me. He then pulled over and stoped when he heard my fucking train horn.

10/10 KWAPISH fuck yiur windshield cunt. Go on about my day.

Ditching it after would be tossing it in the ved of a truck i pass or if possible in traffic just tailgate a semi and latch it on.

>>1247936
Right on. My brain is broken. Soent so mich of life hustling i HAVE to find a way to make money no matter what I'm doing.

I did cut the booze and been riding a lot more. I am sure i save more thab a few hundred a month now and i would try oretty hard to spend thst on coordage

>>1248491
>10/10 KWAPISH fuck yiur windshield cunt. Go on about my day.
Good plan, it would be a shame if he stomped on the gas and ran you over.

>>1248490
when I used to work there. not anymore sadly.

I COULD if I took apart my microwave and went and bought some spark-plug wires. but no.

>>1248489
those are called Marline Spikes or Fids...>>1247933 is a such a thing.
pic is mine.

and trust me, there are too many of them out there for me to really compete in the shallow market in my region...

>>1247899
>>1248120
what exactly are these and how do they work

>>1248600
Spike on rope. They have quick release so you can pull them off wherever they hang, and whip shit with them.

>>1248633
Sure but am I the only one imagining most people hitting themselves with it?

>>1248651
shhhh
thats the best part of watching a novice swing any sort of whip

I watched a cousin nearly neuter himself on his wedding night cause he was being stupid...

>>1248600
>>1248633
Or you use them to remove knots from ropes

>>1243082
Where's a good place to get beads for paracord?
Not necessarily tritium ones.

Where the fuck do you buy paracord? I've been to all kinds of stores but I don't think I've ever come across any.

>>1248925
Home depot sells it, tactical stores sell it, camping stores sell it. By all kinds of stores, do you mean starbucks and gamestop?

>>1248928
Actually I meant Petsmart and feed stores where you buy your mother food.

>>1248929
You went to petsmart looking for paracord?

>>1248930
Yeah really surprising that there wasn't any where they keep the leashes. Makes it harder to find something to hang myself with.

>>1248925
I buy it by the 1000' spool online

Paracord Planet on Amazon has a good selection in colours.

the overall stiffness of the product is a little bit variable, but it does the work.

>>1248928
>>1248929
>>1248930
>>1248931
Children behave!

Does anyone have a good infopic on how to make a paracord keychain thing? /k/ used to post them regularly but I don't have them anymore. I have paracord, I have time and I'd like to make a little lanyard for a pocket knife, maybe a keychain.

Similarly, I'm into book binding, but the spines of the books are open and exposed. is there a little strip that I can make to fill that in?

>>1249212
Keen for this too

First attempt at a monkey fist. Only had black, but I ordered a couple more colours to try out. No jig, just fingers and started around a knot. Pretty sure it's bad, but not bad for first go. Only takes about 15min while I'm this bad. Two colours would make this so much easier because I often lose my place during the tightening, which makes it so I have to fix it all up.

>>1249326
My first attempt was bad too, ended up with a different number of cords on each side. Only takes 2-3 to master it.

>>1243560
Tritium gas radiates electrons, and it is lighter than air so if you break one the radiation dose you will get is insignificantly small. Tritium in small quantities is harmless

>>1248925
I buy them online. They come in a zillion colors and patterns, but I usually just get the 100ft/$5 deals.

>>1248928
In case it really matters to some people, many places don't actually sell 550 paracord, but just generic unrated "paracord". Shouldn't really make a difference to most people, but sometimes the inner cores aren't typical.

>>1248562
... 5 feet from faggot car in other lane. 40 pount turn. About to get me.

Drives car at me. Gets 3 .45acp and 2 410 shells to the face and chest.

Drive like a faggot and i will beat up you shit to teach you a lesson. Try to use a deadly weapon (car) to kill me, i kill you back.

As someone who has bounced off the highway i can say with 100% certainty that most fucking people in cars dont have any fucking eartly idea wtf is going on around them.

It was almost as bad driving a truck. I could see in most vehicles.

>on the phone not paying attention
>driving 80mph down the interstate putting on makeup
>reading a fucking boom or paper while driving

ffs i watched a bitch sail into the woods and die. She was pouring a bowl of cereal.

>>1248568
Bumber. That is cool tho. I found one i want. Its hollow and holds the fids you thread onto paracord

>>1250187
Are you the autist in this these stories? People in cars don't give a shit about bicyclists because they're jackasses. Get a job and buy a car like a normal person.

>>1250215
Are you trolling.

I mean motorcycle you fucking steering wheel holding normie faggot.

>>1248633
>windshields or faggots that wanna road rage and take their shirts off

>>1248746
Well, i'm aboit to get back into casting nonferrous metals (aluminum, lead, brass, bronze etc...)

I could try some custom ones if anons will work with me. Got a dremel to polish them up. I always had a hard time finding beads.

I'm a big fan of boredoarcord dot com. Their beed selection is low but they have a lot of other cool shit. American made quality cord amd descent prices on stuff. The guy owns a shot and frequents fb paracord groups a lot.

I typically just find shit on amazon and be done with it tho. https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=paracord+beads&tag=hydsma-20&index=aps&hvadid=174625448812&hvpos=1t1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7358660000345146975&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9024286&hvtargid=kwd-23792360093&ref=pd_sl_8rk43gbqzd_e&gclid=CjwKCAjw0qLOBRBUEiwAMG5xMPI8e8DjpKbyHFdgjdj5lkSDss7gSE01OIl7-x2KbS-XUOA0Z-vPmBoCmsMQAvD_BwE

>>1250216
You sound like the kind of rider that gives motorcyclists a bad reputation.

>>1248925
I almost exclusicely buy from bored paracord online.

Walmart has horrible cheap knockoff shit.

Orchelins, lowes, tractor supply, atwoods, etc...

Most big box hardwar or ranching stores

>>1248930
...dog leashes and collars are great bigger projects for beginners

>>1248931
You could just use the leash

>>1249212
Youtube is your friend. I favor the weave that looks like a square. Will try and find pic.

>>1249326
Yeah. 2 colors helps. And a steel ball is actually easier than that small knot u got.
Good work man. I got it down to maybe 5 with a jig. 10 if i really wanted to get that bitch tight and dunk it in boiling water to swing it tight

>>1249643
Good. Google made it sound like a natural disaster

>>1250244
I don't see how. You are extremely vulnerable on a bike. People make mistakes myself included. But mutherfuckers need to learn to pay the fuck attention. Shit i didn't make it 2 miles from the house before some cunt just pulls the fuck on out in front of me. Had to hit the other lane on top of a hill to not die.

>>1250259
>I don't see how.
Your immaturity was showing through with vandalism, assault, and poor riding skills, not to mention declaring to shoot someone for making a mistake.

Its part of defensive driving and defensive riding; you should always be on the lookout for hazards. If you didn't make it 2 miles and someone nearly hit you, it means you weren't scanning far enough ahead.

>>1250271
Kek, poor riding skills. Pop over a hill, bitch punches it out in front of me.

>scanning far enough ahead. How the fuck u gonna see over the hill?

I typically heed the yellow truck warning speed limits around i intersections and it's only because of that i am alive anyway.

...and fuck yes i will straight kill a mirror or windshield if you crowd my lane or be a cock. BTFO.

>threaten bodily harm...

Well of course if they try and kill me.

I don't know anyobe that doesnt ride strapped. A few rounds in a radiator and hammer down could save your life. Mutherfuckers are stupid these days anon.

>>1250289
>Mutherfuckers are stupid these days anon.
Clearly you are proof of that.

>>1250312
Don't cut yourself on all that edge .

>pic related...

>>1250362

>>1250243
Shit's expensive. It seems like just adding "paracord" to the listing title means you can up the price.

>>1246644
>calls people obsessed with paracord 'annoying'
>owns a bat with nails in
>makes gay monkey ball shit
>shields audio cables

Lol, have you heard yourself? You're as bad as they are you cunt

>>1250428
Yeah, it kinda became a fad that won't die because new products keep comming out.

I dont mind tho. Its a cheao hobby that can even pay for itself. Or cheap gifts like bracelets or gun slings.

>>1250432

>>1250249
>weave that looks like a square
Box Braid. Also works with more strands; I've got one with eight strands, tied around a pen barrel. Remove pen after done, and voila! Doobie holder, stores two discreetly.

>>1252621
Do you have a guide on how to make this?

>>1252634
I could wish for one....

>>1243075
Do you all. Braid each other's hair. Or just your mom's.

Pretty much...

I think its oretty handy for gun slings and shit. I find myself needing it for fucking everything.

Yesterday even.

It's not the greatest thing since sliced bread but it is handy af.

My steering wheel is coming apart and i fugging HATE steering wheel covers. Might wrap it today.

>>1259146
so...did you wrap it?

how'd it turn out?

does paracord make a good garrote or will i get rope burns on my hands?

>>1260886
it has problems with friction and melting.

you'd be better served by a cheese-wire or guitar string.

who you garroting?

>>1243075
>I jave a hard time prooerly wraping handles. But they do look cool when properly done.

You can alternate left and right handed halfhitches up the gear shift.

Holy shit I though that was a snake and the light was to keep track of your snake at night so you don't lose it while it's slithering around your house.

>>1261616
fiskars sells everywhere now perhaps get over yourself.
axes on the shelf beneath not shown.

So what's some sweet beginner tier shit you can do without a jig? Also anyone got any infographics?

I'm thinking of using paracord for my work boots. A guy I dress next to in the locker room has been using it for years. Says they last for a long time with metal eyelet boots that normally chew through the basic laces.

>>1262721
Yup. Military bros do it a lot. Cheaoer than strings also.

>>1262712
I would youtube basic tutorials amd pause it a lot like i did. You can be cranking out gun slings and bracelets in an hour.

Just plug in a heat rock. Bro had agiant rope bucket and a 12 foot python. When we got up in the morning it would sprawl across the back of the couch and watch us get ready for work. Then he'd dick around the house all day. Most of the time we would come in and he'd be curled up on the couch. We would just pick him up and sit under him. Dickoff and bullshit for an hour or 2 and he'd crawl back in hid bucket for the night.

they outlasted my actual boots for oil industry work, and I was just using the sheathing(I took out the internal strands so they'd fit better)

>>1246456
they look awesome, could you post a guide? ive got like 50 feet just burning a hole in my camping crate. also is that a fucking 3-way magazine?

Lol. Shit was over a decade ago bro. 10 of us rented both sides of a duplex.

Small town and we all grew up together. Was a blast while it lasted. Built some bunkbeds and set up a starcraft lan. Shoved a few anons in the attic and in the large closet where the washer, dryer, and hot water heater was for dirt cheao or free if they did the simplest of chores once a week.

Then everyone had to grow up.

LED snake collar. Lol. Just take it off when he eats.

That was a smaller python named Nathan Scott Phillips. He escaped one day and was never seen again.

...until 2 months after we moved out the kandlord came to check on things and he was cuddled up next to the hot water heater and about 7 feet long.

Topkek the heart attack that poor bastard had to have had.

None of us even wondered why we never had a mouse problem living the way we did.

Buy a recent Harley clutch or brake lever for a few bucks used off Ebay, or ask club for a sample since many of them will have takeoffs lying around. If they supply the sample then you making to that spec puts the choice of sample on the customer.

1996 and up is most likely choice but they aren't hugely different.

t. bike mechanic

You absolutely need a sample lever.

Example pic, determine what your customer wants.

Sell on Ebay if nice then buy more bike parts.

If it's for your bike, holy fuck, just use your existing clutch lever.

>>1263892
This?

>>1263887
Not evem tryna be a prick but youtube all the way bro. Tons of guides

combine the 2, best projects are at least a little improvised and personalized.

I did this years ago when I thought big cheap survival knives were the shit, and I just left it on the knife cause I liked how it looked.

>>1265390
Actually came here to ask if there were any tutorials/channels in particular people recommended for making slings, there's a lot of obnoxious trash on youtube if you just search for "paracord gun sling tutorial"

>>1268140
your best bet is to just look at it and improvise.

that, and make a Jig
a couple of C-clamps on a 2"x4" is all you really need, but its WAY BETTER than having nothing.

for that matter, jigs and JigBoards are crazy useful in all cordage-crafts.

>>1268140
Sorry anon, nothing comes to mind. I think i have a bunch saved tho. Will try and link

where do you buy your paracord? i'm seeing deals on amazon at around 10 bucks for 100 meters, is that the normal price

>>1253611
Sorry, no pics; gave it to one of my stoner friends. Just hit YouTube for box braid tutorials, can't recall if the one I watched was from boredparacord or tyingitalltogether, cbf to look atm.

>>1272248
I do Amazon, I buy it by the 1000 foot spool, it gets you a slightly better value per length.

I end up using it a lot around the house.
