chainedrose Report post Posted December 18, 2012 would this method also work for more number of strands than just 8? if i use 12 strands, can i just make 3 strands on each point, instead of 2? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you wanted to use 12 strands, you would need to use 6 anchor points instead of 4. From there proceed as normal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

floggermeister Report post Posted June 23, 2014 Hey Drac, thank you Just completed a 16 plait in Paracord fir a flogger handle. Apart from a little wiggle in the plait and getting the first wrap around way too tight and having to put a bit of slack in the finish it, it looks good and is a great base to learn patterns. With paracord I think it would have been even easier if I had 8 permaloks to do the braiding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

floggermeister Report post Posted August 15, 2014 Hi SOS I know. I unfortunately didn't find out until I had posted, from another website. I didn't know the how or why or even the when. I felt terrible that it might come across as insensitive but I genuinely meant what I said and it is good to know his talent carries on as a legacy.

Frodo Report post Posted December 4, 2023 Imma going to post in a thread that has layer dormant for 9 years. Lol very much doubt anyone reads this I have concocked a handle for a whip that is a braided handle ingredients 6” -1/2” pvc pipe 1” pvc cap 1x 1/2” fitting reducer 3/4x1/2” fitting reducer 3/4” coupling drill a 1/2” hole in the center of the 1” cap drill a second hole in the cap 1/4” hole on the edge of the cap next to the 1/2” hole determine the number of strands laid side by side that will cover the cap example. Circumference equals 3” your lace is 1/4” wide you would need 12 lengths 12” long Tie the 12 strands together shove the strands up and out the cap insert a 4’ strand in the second hole Still with me? lol. Take the long strand and lace over under over under over etc. in a circle pattern stop when you get to the edge of the cap use a hose clamp to secure at the edge tighten and make your transition from cap to pipe. Use the hose clamp to help hold things tight and in place continue weaving down the pipe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
