Thanks for showing me this, it looks like quite a good idea, a good idea to nick an knock off me own one that is.

Thou. in ref to the cord " The same stuff that you see Ray Mears whipping up his camp with". No,no,no he dosen't, he wouldn't ever been seen dead using shop bought stuff. Roots of a rare cactus,Polar Bear pubes or even Triffid tendrils but not bits of chemical string! No way.

Ray Mears is the only hunter of the rare chemical string spider!! He even has one as a pet or so rumour puts it about!

Collars out of portuguese sennits are easy peasy... do you do collars out of turks heads?

£22??

I can get the cord and make that bracelet (admittedly without the clasp), for about £3

Yes, and what would you charge for your time? It's not all about the cost of the materials.

If you bring the materials to a munch I'm attending, I'm quite happy to attempt it there and then for free, and if i'm unsuccessful, I'm quite happy to bring it home, complete it, and bring it to the next munch. For free.

ETA: Just want to say.. if anyone wants to pay £22 for it, that's perfectly fine with me. But as there are always threads here on where to get £1 wooden spoons, and how to home-make whips etc... I thought I'd share how to make this too if people are interested.

That type of weaving is called a sinnet, and that particular one is a, i believe, a straight portuguese sinnet. Google that and you should be able to find some videos and instruction manuals.

No. 10 on that website is a pretty good description.. As you can see.. its actually VERY easy.. not at all worth £22... when you can make it yourself in 15 minutes.

ETA2: This site has pretty much step-by-step instructions.. and also has very good pictures, with paracord. http://stormdraneslanyard.blogspot.com/

Right then, time to find me some paracord and have a play!

So, to the well versed, where do you get your paracord from?

You've reminded me that I've lost my Leatherman and ought to buy a new one.

No no, not that kind of Leatherman. The Swiss Army Knife kind.
