episode25 - HOWTO: Join two pieces of paracord (for looks, not for strength)

[bassman4mile]

You are welcome,,Carry on my friend do your thing!

[bassman4mile]

Totally worthless info,,unless you are the paracord bracelet craft salesman at Hobby Lobby..

[wishbone1138]

@bassman4mile lol, out of all the insults I've received, this one definitely takes the cake. Thanks for watching.

[Yoshinori76]

will this be strong enough for a belt?

[MrAllAroundAwsome]

@wishbone1138 Where did you get the knife and what is it called?

[kornlover322]

this is a awesome tip! GREAT video

[Beachhead556]

Great vid Wishbone!

[TheRealDanielWolfe]

thank you so much! worked perfectly and I was able to make my bracelet the way I wanted.

[flarebill]

btich got a penis?...

[J1I9M7M4Y]

Ok.. You will hear from my lawyer. First i cut my fingers, then i burnt them. And then i fell from a tree because the joint was too weak!

[happysplodie]

...if you're worried about the strength... TIE A KNOT if you ever want it to hold 550 lbs. You lose what? 2 inches tops? Dunno what you'd do with 3 feet of 550 chord, but if you helicopter has crashed in the wilds of wherever...

[BFDill]

So how about the strength, is that affected by your method? Still good for 550 right?

J/K :-) Thanks for the video, I really like this approach better than heating two ends and pressing them together. Seeing your lighter, I had to have one...

Thanks again!

[muberblob]

3:10 thats what she said!

[Supermassively]

Is this strong enough to allow me to pull the first knot in a cobra weave as hard as I can to make a tight weave?

[Flash9590]

what knife did you use to cut the paracord?

[buchan2]

wow ths is to cool man! chears for the great tip, i am going to use this to make a grip for a knife i wana have a go at making. chears!

[chavaliay1]

I dunno if wishbone will life this but I'm going to give it a shot....

Hello everyone!

Ive been making Para crod bracelets for a few months now and I believe I have mastered the art and am now currently trying to sell them to make a little extra income to fuel my creative hobbies. So if anyone is interested in further details please send me a message through youtube! thanks a lot.

Sorry if you do not like this post wishbone feel free to take it down if you don't like it, no offense at all.

[dbsjro]

Damn people

pay attention

of course it is not for weight

I am going to use it at a bracelet

Thnx mate

[lucashansen]

just a thought .. wouldnt make it (a little) stronger if the darker one is outside and you just slightly heat the 2-3 inches 1 or 2 times ?

[atlsniper45]

thank you for the upload! Very useful! Keep up the good work!

[CBTalon97]

I was trying to do this very thing earlier today (using my own VERY similar method) and have now adapted your method to improve on mine! Thank you very much.

[iFlyCam2794]

it will prob come out if u are putting ur weight on it right?

isnt the point of paracord to be strong? otherwise we'd use string....

[wishbone1138]

@iFlyCam2794 it's just for looks for people who want to make knot designs with two colors.

[watuwaitn4]

always wondered... now I know. Thanks!

[debello9655]

this was very helpful. thnx for posting it

[runnerba]

Hmmmm.... weak?

[wishbone1138]

absolutely, it's for cosmetic purposes only.

[meboyotube]

Some people are missing the point? Like you said: melting the ends just joins the two cords and keeps them from unraveling (and looks cleaner). If your goal is to join two lengths of rope, use something like a square knot. He didn't say join the ends then you can quickly use it to climb out a window in case something goes wrong during the whole "melting process".

:)

Thanks for the vid by the way, i'm going to use this on my next project!

[wishbone1138]

@meboyotube hah thanks man, I'm glad at least someone listening to what I was saying. I know I'm long winded, but I think people like to comment before they finish watching. =)

[ironlionkalo]

why dont you just melt both ends and stick them together

[wishbone1138]

Usually just doesn't look as good and sometimes this can be a bit stronger.

[MrDeermaster]

@ironlionkalo because it will come apart easy

[SaintsRule84]

I love that knife, what kind was it?

[1qwerty7007]

Step 4- Dab a LITTLE super glue on the male end you are inserting

Step 5- Hold onto the safety pin and insert male (glued) end into female (cored) end and WORK FAST.

To clean it up just peel back in frayed parts once dry and use sharp scissors to trim back.

You will be surprised how strong this join is!!!

[wishbone1138]

Another great method, I'll have to try this, thanks!

[1qwerty7007]

No worries champ! I appreciate all you guys going out of your way to post these vids.

The method I explained just gets rid of that annoying stiffness in the join.

If you trim the end you have melted so there is just enough for the pin not to go through before you insert it, you will be able to bend the paracord right back on itself at the join !!

[1qwerty7007]

Hey people. This method is a little neater and more flexible.

Step 1- Just pull out bout 1/2 to 1 inch of one end,

Step 2- Melt/shape the other end as shown. (I also remove a little of the core from the end I am melting, this will alow more flexibility once joined.)

Step 3- Push a safety pin from about an inch from the end up towards the melted male end.

[JesusTheDiscoDJ]

Love your reviews, bro! I'm a USN'er myself too. What kind of knife are you using in this review? It's not one that I recognise.

[wishbone1138]

Thanks!! It's a Nemesis 5150 auto I picked up from the USN. Well priced no-nonsense (like locking mechanisms) auto. Hope to do a review soon.

[itsomac]
