    Great video! I’m teaching my grandson how to make bracelets- and I needed simple and clear instructions for him to follow. Thank you

    I appreciate you taking the time to show me how to make the bracelet. I wish it was easier to see the small steps.

    Thank you so much. I guess I haven’t gotten enough coffee in me to coherently read the easy instructions. Needed this tutorial. My 10 yro thanks you as I !

      You were my target audience when I made this video. I'm glad it was useful. I prefer to watch a video while looking at instructions myself, figured/hoped others liked the same. Thanks for the comment!

    Very nice looking jig. I'm still using the old wooden one I built kinda like Mr. Coop's. I might have to buy one of those, looks slick.

    • @randomjohn
      @randomjohn  6 років тому

      I'm generally not a DIY kind of guy (I'm a bit envious of those who are), so this jig was a great option for me. Well worth the cost, imho. The SpeedyJig folks put out some quality product.

      I have the wood one, used it a few times; wasn't very useful for me. Not very sturdy. I came across the metal one, about to use it for the first time with this video. It's solid and seems like it will be a lot better than the wood one.

    I did exactly the same when measuring the wrist. My husband’s wrist measured 8 inches so I added an inch and used the 3/8” notch because I was using the smaller buckle. It came out too small and I had to take it apart. Can’t figure out how it was too small when I added the inch. The finished size didn’t reach 9”.

    My speedy jig plus didn't come with those instructions. Could you do a video on how to finish the bracelet? That's where i'm having issues.

    • @randomjohn
      @randomjohn  3 роки тому

      Here is a link to those instructions: www.speedyjig.com/pages/make-a-bracelet
      Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to make a video specific to that anytime soon. I think the picture in the instructions along with the video will clear it up. There are more ways to finish than are shown in the instructions. Sometimes I'll cut and burn the lines after I make my last wrap, similar to how I do it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/xane3csd9v8/v-deo.html
      I hope this helps.

    I really appreciate your video. What kind of knife was that that you used?

    • @randomjohn
      @randomjohn  2 роки тому

      It's call a Sailor's knife, it is super handy and well worth the cost imho. My model isn't available anymore, but there are other similar models. I think I paid $7 for mine. Here is the original link: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003COEDMW
      Thanks for watching and for the comment/question, kind sir!

    It would be nice to have the printed instructions for the speedy jig plus I just got for Christmas.

    • @randomjohn
      @randomjohn  Рік тому

      It's kooky that you didn't get one. I think they used to have the PDF available on their website...though I just checked and couldn't find it. They may be able to send you a link to the PDF if you contact them: www.speedyjig.com/pages/contact-us
      Thanks for watching! I hope you get the instructions.

    Mine did not come with instructions to make a bracelet. It only came with instructions to put the jig together

      Bummer. Here is a link to the instructions:

      A friend of mine purchased one recently and he didn't get instructions either.

    How much cord do we fold in half ???

    • @randomjohn
      @randomjohn  7 місяців тому +1

      Depending on size of bracelet and cord used, but 10' should be more than enough. I keep a notebook with cord weights/bracelet size, then I don't have to guess as much. Thanks for watching and sorry for the slow reply!

    How much paradors do I need to make a 18 inch lanyard?

    • @randomjohn
      @randomjohn  Рік тому

      I'm not sure. My guess, if using 550 paracord, about 28' to 30'.

      If you're doing the cobra braid, not counting how you're doing attachment points, the general rule of thumb is that for each inch of cobra braid you want, you need one foot of cord...
      So, 18 feet

    What size buckles

    • @randomjohn
      @randomjohn  4 роки тому

      The kit comes with 3/8". I sometimes use 5/8, depending on what I'm making.
