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

now on the crimper i did not look up a knot i just did a continuous granny knot dont know if theres a different name for it but i like the spiraling look

Step 8: The Needle Nose

on the needle nose i used a right crown sniet

Step 9: The Close

when i was done with each tool i painted it and sprayed it with wood lacquer to seal and protect for longevity. .like i mentioned the is not a instuctable but i wanted to share .this was the start and i have i lot more tools to go .thanks for your time
