A falconer mentioned that he used a hot blade to cut/melt a hole. What's your opinion on that method? Here's where I saw it. https://falconryart.wordpress.com/make-your-own<br />Also what brands of paracord do you recommend?

Then carefully remove the pliers so that the hole stays open. Push the end though that hole again with a twist and use your finger nails to work any stray threads away. Should pass through fairly easily, otherwise you might need remelt the end of your cord into more of a cone.<br /><br />-RyanRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948640083809173758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871524686234458172.post-62314078220105650462011-02-14T12:08:29.248-06:002011-02-14T12:08:29.248-06:00Hi all, I'm still desperatelly trying to make ...Hi all, I'm still desperatelly trying to make these paracord jesses but I am having terrible difficulty passing the cord through it self when trying to make tabs or to lock it off, I'm following your instructions to the word but its making my hands and fingers sore .I'm using the small aerican 550 paracord and when pushing the snub nosed pliers through the weave is that tight it doesn't seem to make enough of a hole to pass the material through.

I didn't include them on this walk through for simplicity's sake. You can see the tabs in the pics of Daniel's jesses. <br /><br />Thanks for reading. <br /><br />-RyanRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948640083809173758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871524686234458172.post-13913506572235375782010-12-09T11:37:16.592-06:002010-12-09T11:37:16.592-06:00Hey Ryan, I first saw this how to on Nafex and rea...Hey Ryan, I first saw this how to on Nafex and really appreciated it. I started doing somethign a little different which helps me and I thought I would share it. I make a couple of complete passes through the tip of the jess at the loop end before making the loop. This gives me a very easily accessable "tab" to slip through the grommets without having to pinch and push the jess through. I use 1/4 inch grommets, so the traditional loop has always been tough with one hand, especially in low light conditions.<br />Thanks a ton for posting this how to. I burned up a lot of paracord before seeing this and getting it right.Ab Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919399931237948874noreply@blogger.com
