Step 1: This Is Not a Instructable
This is not technically a instructable due to the fact that there is no instructions. I just wanted to show off my handywork but i will try to explain the process so here we go
Step 2: My Source Material
well i like knoting i find it to be a intertaning hobby to past time plus i used to be a sailor so i love the nautical look . i used nylon twisted cord of different thickness. ( i personally dont like paracord) but this could be achieved with any rope really
Step 3: The Center Punchs
on one punch i used fender hitch with the needle and caped it off with a turks head . on the next was a 3strand running cckscombing caped off by turks heads
Step 4: The Chisels
on one chisel i used a round turn stitch with a needle . on the other one i used overhand gaffting and caped it oof with a turkes head
Step 5: The Wire Cutters L
on the wire cutters i used a continuous square knot but on youtube were i found how to do it it was also referred to a solomon bar
Step 6: The Screw Driver
the screwdriver was a turks head with a thicker cord
Step 7: The Crimper
