I'm looking for a left-handed strand feeder. Supposed to be about an inch to three inches long and with a tip.

A needle... I'm looking for a left-handed needle.

Ahhh... OK.   I hadn't realized that needles were "handed".   How does this differ from a "right-handed" needle, and why do I think I'm about to hear the answer to "What's a henway?"

Left-handed needles are specialized. Anyone can use a right-handed needle.  :P

As for the other question, about 4-5 lbs depending on diet.  :P

Well I had a go at a bracelet. There were a few problems.  ::)

The cord was just some odd stuff lying around, not the best option. I forgot to write down the knot numbers from ABOK, so guessed which knots were used and looked them up. The ABOK is not too clear on the star knot making, or maybe I just need to practice a bit.

I really enjoyed making this bracelet, and will make some more when I have time.



Thanks for the help

Here is a compass key fob that was tied by middling 3 strands and tying a MWK tucking 2 of the strands in and leaving one out for a loop. Now with 6 strands to work with I made three over two crowns and then formed a kellem grip of sorts. Basically I turned the knot where the strands hung down and tied a wall. Over two and under one. Next I put in the compass and tightened it down. Tied another MWK and tightened the kellem and MWK up. I ran the finished knot under a cold tap and let it dry. Paracord shrinks a little when you get it wet so it makes your knots tighter if you shrink it.

Just another little personal kudo.... guess who just sent me an email regarding a made-up bellrope for their quarterdeck??   


How about CVN75 (Harry S Truman)??



I could not be more pleased if someone had gilded one of my items and put it in the Smithsonian.



So, here they are.  (1) 20" and (2) 11".




(The big one is a duplicate of the "Tamaroa" bellrope.)

Very nice work everyone.

Boy, Vince, you are one hard act to follow. lol Those are beautiful.

Thanks Don for the 'Sailor's Cross" tutorial. Everyone can see it on Don's Knottool.com site. Whoo Hoo

This Sailor's Cross is in Afghanistan, given to our nephew who says he is only doing his job
when in fact he's considered a hero by all that know him there and back home.

ABOK 2217 tied around a big washer.  Thought it would be interesting to work it flat instead of the usual sphere. I use it as a card cover when I play poker.

Loving it! What is the finish, is it painted?

I painted it with white semi gloss to prevent any unravel and to help the detail 'pop' a bit on the saturated colored felt used on poker tables.  Glad you like it!
