Go Av's!!!! Missin' Patrick Roy but such is life.... Good idea on your sling... I am making one fore binoculars and a longer one for my archery range finder. Cheers from the PacNW. *Go Av's!!!!* Still best Intro ever was 2003-2004.... good ol' days
Hey Josh, I have noticed that you have woven some cords in a few places. That is fascinating work! Looks almost machine made. (which I mean as a high compliment because whenever I do something by hand it seems that an automated machine made thing always looks much better!) What I would like to ask you is: Is the weaving you do related in any way to the nautical weaving I used to see on ships? (You know, the decorative woven rails, lanyards for piping etc.) I used to see that kind of "work" all the time but never ran into anybody who actually did it. I was wondering if you learned how to do that in the Navy. I always admire it when somebody does any kind of craftsmanship like that. Nice job.
Thank you for the kind words. Yes it was the Navy that guy me started. It it's called macrimae not sure on the spelling. What was on hand rails and hatch handles is called whipping. Generally French whipping. Not only is it decorative. It provides better grip dry and wet, with the added bonus of your hand not freezing to the handle in freezing weather. Most of the deck apes and especially the old board are good at this.
Would love if you made a tutorial video of how you made this. Great video btw.
That’s what I thought it was, too! Nice strap, but show how you did it!😫😁
I’m planning to make a crossbody sling strap like that. How much paracord did you use for everything? Thank you in advance.

Sounds cool! hope it turns out nice for ya.
Looks great. Can you do the tutorial?
Could you do a tutorial on this or on something like a cop or firefighter would use on there radio's
That is brilliant. I always wanted to lengthen the straps on my vdsl meter
+LeSedici those stock straps suck. always cutting into your neck. this diy one kicks ass. Definitely worth making your own.

Thank you.
The French whipping is it was on all of the hatch handles and ladder rails
How much paracord did you start with? About how much would I need for just the base strap?
I think it was 60 feet did not use all of it
Just the strap probably 30 to 40 feet
Lets go Ref Wings😂
Iam having a serious mental block with this particular knot, iam searching high an low find a good tutorial
Confused on how you made the pad...
If I remember it was 3 layers of cobra stitch
Those metal things are swivel hooks
How much p cord did you use
That was about six years ago I think it was close to 100'
I made one for my camera!!!!! Thank you
How did u start the cobra stitch
this guy explains it will.. when i did it i had 4 strands inside the stitch.

Are you still using this strap? How has it held up?
+Brent Jensen yes I am still works great. One of the clips broke last week. So I have to figure that out
FJ55IRONPIG awesome thanks! I'm thinking of making one for a radio. This is one of the most similar UA-cam projects I found.
Yeah I’m making this for my ukulele
