Tying a reef knot

This is part of an instructional entry done for my blog http://tracelesswarrior.blogspot.com/2009/12/tactical-macrame-project-1.html called "Tactical Macramé", on how to make a "survival bracelet" from 550 paracord. I use a very different method for tying the Solomon bar used for the body of the bracelet that is much less tedious than the method commonly found in "how-tos"for making this bracelet. I also use a couple of knots in the construction of this project that make the bracelet more elegant and pleasing.

The Reef knot is the basis of the Solomon bar.

@darthbilly97 No, it is a series of reef knots, when they are tied around a core it is properly called a Solomon bar. These days, because some people didn't want to be thought to be doing macramé, someone renamed the Solomon bar the cobra stitch, even though it is not in fact a stitch. That's why the clip is titled "Tying a reef knot". So what's your point?
