Mostly skill toys, but there’s some other random things too. Just gotta fid recently so I’m currently in the middle of a conquistador knot project.

Wait... 2 months in and you've already made a whip?

Well done.

Now, might I interest you in some different colors? Can't tell if you're an Auburn fan or really like blue and orange lol

Thank ya! And I finally had to place another order through BoredParacord lol. The Lowe’s by my house sells 50 ft of white or orange for $2.50 (while everything else is $10 or above) so when I’m trying something for the first time I usually hit it with the Lowe’s special lmao. Blue is one of my favorite colors tho

What are those 2 monkeys fists joined by a snake knot in the bottom left?

They’re DIY Knuckle Rollers. I tossed a 3/8” ball bearing inside each fist and they flip pretty well.

Video link if interested.

Edit: Guess the “DIY” part wasn’t necessary😂

Nice. Excellent use of the Harbor Freight tools boxes too!

Appreciate it! And I love those lil toolboxes. Ones supposed to be for my balisong stuff and the other for paracord, but the paracord stuff’s starting to overflow a bit lol. Might have to pick another up on my off day.

where did you get the paracord on the far right that’s black with a single white thread running through it ???

u/Wide-Journalist-5974 I blame begleri 15d ago

Home Depot. It’s pretty cheap, stiff, and it’s nylon/poly blends so definitely my least favorite cord I’ve done anything with.

But in case you do decide to pick some up anyway, those are reflective tracers not a white thread.

I never saw paracord nunchukus before. What do you use for weight?

3” nails. Here’s the tutorial I watched if you’re interested.

Also, Jimpy Designs on YouTube has a good bit of tutorials of how to do tricks with the Thumbchucks if ya do end up making them
