  • Paracord Fusion Ties - Volume 1: www.amazon.com/... The web shows a variety of ways to make a four strand round braid. In short, I found all of them utterly confusing. So I studied the tie and came up with the following. Sigh of relief...this method is a whole lot easier! Video Production by JD of Tying It All Together

      Huh. I guess we are the only ones who want to see ALL of the steps. Tying off is so important and sometimes it’s not intuitive.

    i learned this round braid when i lanyarded a knife like 5 years ago, and when i went to rebuild that lanyard, i could not remember how it went, then i fought with the 4 strand round braid for as week+ before i gave up and accepted the 3 strand regular ole braid and its variations. THIS made the 4 strand so much easier to build that i did so immediately, and now won't ever forget how it goes again. thanks a million!

    I'm so happy to have found this video. I saw it about 10 years ago & made two dog leashes. I need to replace one leash & couldn't remember how it went. I know it's simple, but a lot has happened in 10 years. My dogs were still juveniles back then, they're 13 years old. now. I think I'll make 2 matching leashes like before. Thank you for showing this simple method for making them ;-)

  • @Sandy33569
    @Sandy33569 12 лет назад +2

    This is the method I use to make dog leashes (specifically show leashes at the moment), and yes, they do make cool leashes! Right now, what I'm trying to learn is how to braid beads into them, but I have to figure out how to do small, almost unnoticeable knots so that I can do them on each side of a bead cluster so that they don't slide around. And THAT will be an even cooler leash. :D

  • @aaronpanietz
    @aaronpanietz 11 лет назад +2

    Pay attention to the direction your folding each strand, each time and keep them turning the same way the while time, and you may want to loop the lose stand under one of the turns from the monkey fist to hold it in place and snug. Make sure its close as possible to the base or it will look sloppy:)

  • @Sandy33569
    @Sandy33569 12 лет назад +3

    Thanks for this video! Took me a bit to get it as I'm just starting out, but I'm using nylon right now left over from my first leash to practice this diamond braid and using this way also to do the spiral. Makes braiding so much easier and faster for when I start making paracord leashes :D

  • @jordanalter4985
    @jordanalter4985 8 лет назад +1

    is this like the typical style, where 5ft of cord gets you 5 inches of finished product? or is it different measurements?

    Nice job on the tutorial. As a person who uses this braid a lot, I highly recommend tying/pegging down one end onto a wall. Although with paracord it comes out nice and even, with thinner twine the braid will twist and kink if it isn't secured.

  • @jonathanporter5223
    @jonathanporter5223 3 года назад

    This is great and all, but you don't explain the method or anything. Like, how you should find the center, and how it makes a huge difference which strand each color leads with. As being the "easy way" shown, the lack of explanation for each step doesn't actually make it so.

  • @mellow_witch
    @mellow_witch 12 лет назад

    Here are a few ways to finish different braids....
    Ending
    Rope, string, or lace:
    Tie the bundle into an overhand knot.
    Leather:
    Glue the strands in place, rivet them to another piece, or firmly sandwich them between two other pieces of leather.

  • @punch0569
    @punch0569 14 лет назад

    @football4836 Yes I have ordered from them many times... BUT I only use the cord that I order from them for craft work! The 550 that they sell is not always military grade it is hit or miss. If you want the really good stuff then you need to get it from ROTHCO you want the GI PLUS... But the 450 that VT AN store sell is great for crafts... Just don't try to pawn it off as survival rope IE is in survival bracelets!!

  • @punch0569
    @punch0569 14 лет назад

    @TyingItAllTogether Just remember the Para Cord you buy at VT Army Navy store is NOT true 550 cord... So do not try to use it as it is meant to be used... Yes it is 450 cord, but it is also very poor quality 450 cord. Works great for tying but not for anything else where your life in on the line... No pun intended.... The inner cords are made up of a very cheap synthetic nylon. You put the Military grade next to the VYAN store stuff and you cut them open you will see the difference..

    I braid 8 strings of baling twine into a square braid. I can make it as long as I want by incorporating new string that is tucked into the center. I would love to do this braid with baling twine. It would make for a smaller diameter "natural" halter. Is there a way to incorporate new string? I finish my braids with a button I learned from a book called "how to make horse gear" by Bruce Grant. the button starts with the one you just ended with but the strings get passed through twice more. It turns out to be a really nice little ending knot.

    • @onehorseranch6934
      @onehorseranch6934 9 лет назад +1

      OneHorseRanch The piece ends with a lanyard knot...i think thats how you spell it. I just saw that you tied it off. I missed that part and when I looked up you had a knot with the lanyard end.

    After ensuring that the mute button was engaged, I see the only decision to make is to choose clockwise or anticlockwise for each "stitch". Not bad...
