 I make these bracelets while I am off duty. I have a bunch of colors, and make them with either a side release buckle or a simple loop and button closure. the big ones are about 7 1/2 -8 inches and the smaller one is about 6 1/2 inches. I think average wrist is 8 inches. Lately the guys around here want Super Bowl colors, but I refuse to make the Silver and Blue. GO BRONCOS!

I put about a foot of rope into an inch of braid length. I can make one in about a half hour. Right now I am consolidating my colors, have ACU pattern, Black, Tan, OD green and a little orange left.

Costa, I learned by trial and error, and using youtube to learn different weave patterns. I also wrapped a knife that I have, and have made a few bracelets over the past few days.  7 Different cobra weave bracelets  Knife made by Pat Maples, simple braid by me. Does help quite a bit with grip as well as protect the knife's handle.

My man, you still on Camp Hovey? I am on CRC- was at Hovey for WRC in July, and have been settled in for about 7 months. 5 to go!  I made this tonight for a customer. Wanted a solid green lanyard with a 28in neck and 4 calls graduated lengths.

If you ever get over to camp Giant, that warehouse on the hill is sitting on my concrete foundation. We did that in the winter of 91'. It was cold and raining, but we worked all night pouring that slab. Is B Co. 2nd EGN still on Giant?
