thanks alot i just put a paracord wrap on one of my old watches and it turned out very well, and it didnt take to long.

I just started looking into making Paracord bracelets today and I've been trying to look up the reason for gutting the cord but haven't found the reason. Is there a good time to gut the cord and a good time not too? Just curious. The bracelet looks awesome! Love your videos on how to make them. :)

@whscassi2007 The only reason i gutted the core in on the watchband was so i could slip it through those brackets on the watch. If i could have done it, I would have just left the core in. That's always the better option in my opinion. Thanks for watching!

How do you change the battery?  LOL

@rjmlakota Uh....LOL

@FluffyBoy32 Please if you want to make your own video of how you would do it, go ahead. This is the method I've gone with, it's by no means perfect. Just trying to help some people have an idea where to start. This is only the second one I've made so I haven't thought of all the options yet. I'll be looking forward to your video...

where do you buy the watch face

[TheDalveenLain]

Great video xD nicely done

So for your initial cobra weave in all black, you left the inner 7 strand core intact right? And still able to run it through the spring loaded pins o the watch face? I'm gonna do like you did today and this is a great way to start on a watch band. I've made dozens of bracelets and key lanyards so far but haven't figured out the watch band. Great video thanks!

I know there many ways to skin a cat, And you did a nice job. On mine thigh, I did not cut off the original strap, so that I may save it for the future. I also did not take out the inards, so that if I ever did need to use the ten feet of cord, I would not lose the integrity of the cord. Just a thought.

zippos rule. best lighters ever made, in my opinion.

@guitarmikey2 it was only 10 bucks..make a new one lol nice videos!

[matthewcntwll]

how many feet of paracord do you need when you did the separate knots on top of the original thin band??

[BenTheDream1018]

It'd be nice if you actually showed how to tie a kobra knot.......
