Re: 550 cord haverdashery
While we're at it, anyone got a good resource for actual 550 cord?
It seems that a "cool" factor has brought a lot of J-U-N-K online.
Thanks,

Not sure how much 550 cord your looking for. These guys are local to me so I've used them: http://www.countycomm.com/550cord.htm
Marduk: Would love to shoot that FAL, one of my favorite rifles. However, your sling looks like it should have a flower pot hanging from it. Would definitely work in a pinch though!

Thank you. What I was looking for. I added some to an order earlier this year and was disappointed.

Back in the day I was in the "Sea Cadet" program, and we used 550 cord in various colors to make presentation paddles for various ceremonies. Here's an example .
If I can find an old picture, I'll post one I've done. Pretty simple stuff, nothing amazing, but learning all the different knots and their traditional uses was kinda cool.

I get my cord from a place called "The Supply Captain". It's a military oriented site, and they are great folks to deal with. It's all genuine military contract cord, and you can get it in 100 ft. hanks or 1000 ft. spools.
I make game call lanyards.

This is a 6 foot dog leash (not counting the handle part). I need to re-do the handle as it is a bit hard on the wrist.
The style is 8-plait braiding, and it is a real bitch but quite worth it.
