Making a 21-Strand Cinch

This video shows the construction of a 21-strand mohair cinch. Tying your own cinch is a good way to make some of your own gear. It's a simple skill that most people can learn, and you don't need a big shop or a lot of tools to do it. In the end, you'll also get a quality cinch that should last for a long time.

Nicely done, good colour choice.

Thank you. I'm happy with how it turned out!

Have you ever considered using a netting shuttle?

[@flyingaoutfitters]

No I haven't, but it's a good idea. Thanks for bringing it up.

How many hours does it take you to make one?

[@flyingaoutfitters]

That one took about 6 hours. Of course, that includes time spent messing with the camera and taking care of other little odds and ends throughout the day. Probably 4-5 hours if I sat down and just worked.
