[MrAcdcfan12]

how could i attach a buckle or shackle on this

[richardvinc]

@MrAcdcfan12 same thing that i'm trying to find out!!.... did you find something??

[SuperScribNY]

@MrAcdcfan12 Same thing with me man, though I think I got it figured out

[BlazinWilly]

Comes out just as cool with 3 colors. Sinch down only 2 loops at the end and adjust 3rd for bracelet loop..same came b done w/2 color..

@Chad7480 read the description

[Maceofblades]

Are you thinking about doing just a book for Paracord knots and weaves? I purchased your book and was looking for more thinking like that, but it only had 8 different ones and you have many more on your channel.

[chad7480]

how long dose the rope need to be ?



[karinj91]

Great price on paracord here one ebay item=270702455281

[BrianJohnson344]

I've been searching the net for this type of braid for a long time, yet again TIAT delivers!!! Perfect for duck call lanyards!!!

[furiousajp]

Is there an alternative to singeing the end of a cut cord?

[TyingItAllTogether]

@furiousajp - You can tap the end of the cord with a drop of grazy glue.

[BaByFaceWade]

how would you form this into a bracelet?

[kaseyman98]

y does it take so long to show how to make 1 braclet?

[TyingItAllTogether]

@kaseyman98 - You think 3 minutes and 30 seconds is long?

[Eslamizar]

Very cool, good job.

[Fl3k13]

thank you!

once you get the grip down it's simple!

[w8lftr76]

Please ignore last post. I was watching the other switchback video but posted under this one. I see the two ragged ends. Again, great work on the vids.

[w8lftr76]

Is there any to have two tag ends coming out of each end of the switch back. I use buckles to make my bracelets, and I need a loop to do that. Thanks for all the great videos.

[TheAngryvikingman]

Interesting. When I do a 2 color version of this I take two lengths of paracord and melt the ends together and weave it around a premade core. My way is a little easier for me. Its also how I did a 2 color version of your Dragon's tongue.

[mountainboarder101]

do yoou only use paracord to make your knots

[TyingItAllTogether]

@mountainboarder101

...

I also use solid braid nylon (primarily 1/4 inch diameter). In fact most of my 2009 videos use nylon rope. Paracord was something I decided to play with for 2010. Soon, I'll be moving back and forth between the two types of cord, and others.

can your methods be used with shoelaces....or.. say maybe thick peices of thread?

it looks like a fat caterpillar.....nice work!

[pyroneph]

Why aren't you on TV? You could have your own show!

[theexplosivedawg]

@pyroneph his work is astonishing but not that many people will tune in to watch a guy tye for about 30 minutes.

[pyroneph]

@theexplosivedawg

Too bad :\

[Vandy1212]

It you could do a video on hardware attachment that would be great. There is very

little information about this out there and with your skills I'm sure you have come up with some innovative ways to end the weave with a buckle or shackle or whatever.

Thanks.

[Vandy1212]

I truly respect your thoughts on blending the tying with appropriate music, but also respectfully disagree about a slow rock song making the videos look and feel disjointed. I have watched many of your videos over and over and I'd much rather listed to a slow Eagles tune than "We're exploring to explore" or whatever over and over. But hey, they are your videos, and your tying is excellent. I love them, but will have to love them in silence.

[TyingItAllTogether]

Regarding the music: I too like Rock/Heavy Metal bands like the ones mentioned below. However, incorporating hi energy, fast paced music into my videos would either change the pacing of the ties, or the pacing would not reflect the music used. Further, slow methodical (tying) movements accompanied by Rock or Heavy Metal music would make the videos look and feel disjointed.

[TyingItAllTogether]

Also, many of the people watching these videos have to do so repeatedly to get the tie. High energy music evokes high energy emotions that dont meld well with learning technical ties.

[Vandy1212]

Oh your music. I'm sorry, just not for me. How about mixing it up a bit with some Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Stones, Foreigner, ACDC, etc. for us old rockers who

cring at the new wave stuff. I have to turn the volume off. LOVE your videos--best ones out there, but I have to watch them in silence. What is with the guy saying "we are exploring space" or something like that over and over and "yawn" over?

[TheWolf739]

@Vandy1212 I see what you're saying, it's like every other youtube video having that 'dreamscape' crap all over the place, compared to 'dreamscape' this is paradise!

[Vandy1212]

Love your videos--I've seen most. If you would do a nice long video on how to attach side release buckles, shackles, rings, how to attach from the beginning of the weave vs. at the end of the weave. I've seen how to attach side release buckles in general, but have difficulty with for instance three or four cords because when you loop them thru a buckle, shackle, etc. to secure and start the weave on the other side you double your strands, then it messes up the weave instruction!

[cyniraholt]

You have the Best Video Tutorials I've ever Seen. Thanks for Sharing. Brightest Blessings~

[ProgaKun]

Do you invent all of your knots? [or must of them?] because if you do you have an amazing talent.

[TyingItAllTogether]

@ProgaKun Not all... But many.

[sraike]

Great video. Thanks!

[39Mick0tf2]

very nice, just what I wanted. thanks!

[bayonesa33]

didnt notice the title, MID WEEK BONUS, yay ! gonna make this again, couldnt do it the first time

[kibblex]

hey JD, i really like your videos. you make everything so clear. what type of rope do you use? i use really poor quality brown hemp and i want to make some nice colourful like yours. i want to make a bracelet, what type of knotting do you recommend? right now im wearing a "cobra stitch"(?), maybe something like a fishbone knot?

could you please pm me?

[sousadude30]

@kibblex for knots my favorite is the cobra stitch and for rope for knots like this one or other small ones im pretty sure he's using paracord.

[bayonesa33]

wow, third comment, i love your videos really cool! stuff

[biguy525]
