i dont usually post on videos but i think he does a great job of explaining and in very slow and deliberate during the explanation so that you can keep up without having to stop the video too many times.
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!!
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!!!!
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.
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.
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! :)
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?
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??
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
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
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?
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
Thanks for the unique design and tutorial! It just about wore my hands out, but I finished one! Transferring to a smaller mandrel was essential, and I probably accomplished it the hard way. Suggestions?
You may have answered it in another video... but what 'weave' do you recommend starting with if this is a hobby I'd like to learn? Former sailor, so would be good to finally learn.
Su pulsera es preciosa me encanta no hay posibilidad de hacerla plana y ud puede colocar las medidas y el nombre de la cuerda en español gracias le agradezco
Wow, I love what you are doing, I'm definitely going to practice it over an over till it become part of me, thanks once more, if I may ask what is the name of the thread (rope)
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
hi paracord guild! is it possible to use star triaxial as a water bottle wrap? i think it'l be a blast! if yes, could you please post a tutorial? appreciate it!
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
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...
@ 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...
Hey! You can transfer it to a slightly smaller object or if you space apart the strands loosely so that you can then tighten up after you transfer it. I hope that helps! Mark
Hey there! That is a lacing needle. This one specifically was made by Geoffrey Morgan. He can be reached on FB. If you need help contacting him, let me know! Mark
Thanks WillieNelson (love the name :-) I have the one you're talking about but these appear to be much shorter but are flat like the one I have. I ordered what I THOUGHT was the same one he used and that thing is about 2 inches long and MAYBE big enough for micro or nano cord. I guess I might as well learn how to do some lacing now that I have six new dwarf needles.
Hey! There are many great books around. It really depends on what you want to achieve. What area of knot work are you most interested in? Knots in general, turk's head knots, braiding, whip making etc.? Mark
Paracord guild I am more interested in covering/ plaiting household stuff, bike handle bars etc, making bags/pouches and bushcraft in general. Your channel is a good start for me , now iam able to tie basic 3B/4B turks head on my flute.
Hey again! Well for fancy knots there are books "Introduction to Turks-head knots" and "Round knots - Advanced leatherwork vol. 2" by Ron Edwards. Ron also has an excellent series of books called Bushcraft , which should be right for you :). I hope that helps! Mark

Thank you so much for teaching this beautiful technique and art 😊🇵🇹 from Portugal
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

Truly awesome design. I like it a lot.
Great video. At what point do you switch to the smaller diameter mandrel?
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?

Outstanding video. Thank you for sharing this beautiful wrap. Very well done.
Thank you for a kind comment!

You are an excellent teacher. Thank you so much. My one question is how do you tie them off so that they do not come apart

hi, nice knot! what is the needle you're using and where do i get it?
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.
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!
Wow😱😱 such an awesome creative one😍😍 good job sir👌👍👍....
I like the David Star shape cords weaving, excellent job.👍
Thanks for the unique design and tutorial! It just about wore my hands out, but I finished one! Transferring to a smaller mandrel was essential, and I probably accomplished it the hard way. Suggestions?
Is it possible to space the stars by adding more black?
WOW! Thanks for this Fantastic Pattern.
Thank you for your video. Do you think if I will try to tighten even further the wrap by boiling water method that it will degrade the look?
Hey!
It depends on how tight you have made the wrap. Not very helpful I know, but it is all trial and error.

Great job!!!! Where can i get a long flat lacing needle just like that one i have never seen one.
In an Arts & Crafts shop or in any shop where they sell materials for knitting/embroidery/tapestry, for instance
TA Hoops I got some on Amazon that are flat.
what about the endings? who do you tie them?
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.
Su pulsera es preciosa me encanta no hay posibilidad de hacerla plana y ud puede colocar las medidas y el nombre de la cuerda en español gracias le agradezco
It’s beautiful! ! Thanks
That is amazing, I'd love to try it but how do you finish it off?
What if I wanted a 5 point star instead of a 6 for an American flag wrap would I do 2 black and one white or how would I organize them
How did you tie the ends off the cords after making the star?
Cool. How do you finish it?. You can't leave the ends loose
Hey!
There are a ton of way for finishing. This is one that I quite like:

Hey!
It is called paracord 550.
Mark
What kind of paracord did you used for this? It seems like a flat paracord?
How many stars did you make here?
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.
How do you finish the ends?
Dove si compra l'ago che usi? é un lavoro bellissimo.... complimenti...
Thank you for sharing your talent, it’s beautiful. 😎✌🏼
Would this work on a ships helm working around spokes?
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.

Simply amazing.
Lindo trabalho, Parabéns !!
so I noticed that after the wrap is done, both ends are still loose. How do you finish them?
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.

@ 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...
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
How do you wrap up the extra material at the ends when you are done?
Hey there!
This is one of the ways I use:

Wow that's awesome congrats you don a great job..
Where did you get that needle from the flat one.
末端の処理の仕方はどうするんでしょうか？
Do I have to keep it on an object when I'm done. I want to make a short leash
Hey!
You can transfer it to a slightly smaller object or if you space apart the strands loosely so that you can then tighten up after you transfer it.
I hope that helps!
Mark
PLEASE HOW DO YOU CALL THIS NEEDLE TO PASS ROPE AND WHERE DO I BUY IT? THANK YOU............................
Hey!
This is a lacing needle. You can find these online.
I just got mine yesterday at Walmart.
Where did you get that flat tipped fid?
I need a flat fid like yours. Were did you get yours?
Where do you get that needle from and what is the name of the needle?
Hey there!

Where can I get a lacing needle like that (flat)?
angiedj62 i got one from a paracord guy online. But found the same one on amazon.
"Extra Large Perma Lok Leathercraft Needle"

Thanks WillieNelson (love the name :-) I have the one you're talking about but these appear to be much shorter but are flat like the one I have. I ordered what I THOUGHT was the same one he used and that thing is about 2 inches long and MAYBE big enough for micro or nano cord. I guess I might as well learn how to do some lacing now that I have six new dwarf needles.
that is freaking awesome
How can you form letters or words
Is there a book with para cord design info?
where did you get your lacing needle?
do you have to use paracord
Hey!
Not at all, you can for example use leather lace.
Mark
Thanks dude
Where can I get one these fids
do you recommend a certain book?
Amazing
Where do i buy paracord?
Where did you get the needle from?
How do you end it?
