Lovely tutorial I learnt to make this style of bracelet whilst out in Central America. The person who showed me reffered to it as a Macrame knot check out this site if you need more help as it gives an animation of how to tie the knot
http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/Exhibitions/ManitobaCrafts/content/macrame/squareknot.html There is also a variation of this knot that makes a beautiful spiral. Look at picture 2&3 if you keep doing the same knot without changing the side that you make a loop the knot will gradually work its way around the middle ropes. The use of ordinary brown garden twine makes it look quite rustic. You must be logged in to a comment. Please register if you do not have an account yet.

Pass both of the ends of cord through the loop at the bottom of the body.
Remove your holding knot from the top of the body, and pass an end of cord through each loop.
Find the point where the bracelet is loose enough to get on and off, then tie a double overhand knot as a fastener.
Not in the same league as some of the leatherwork seen on here, but I'm pretty proud of this nonetheless.
The bracelet is made from approx. 3m of paracord (or a cheap copy thereof).

 I used Hazel wood. Choose the
thin long shoots of wood which i would think are a couple of years old.
If you don't catch anything at first don't worry. It may just be a case of
changing a few things.

 Most bushcrafters know that Birch bark is fantastic for fire lighting
because of all the oil concealed within it. This tutorial guides you
through the process of extracting that tar from the bark.

 Now we could bung a label on (which should always say they type of wine and when it was bottled). I suggest you cross-reference to a book of recipes and notes so that when you get a cracking wine you can recreate it. We are going to add a little something to the presentation of the wine by putting a foil cap over the neck. First we drop a foil cap (available for a couple of pence from a wine shop) over the bottle neck.

 Right, we now have clean, fined and filtered wine. We pour it into clean (yes and sterilised) bottles with a funnel. We need to cork it. Its possible to put corks in with a mallet. I use a corking gun and waxed corks that do not need to be soaked (plain corks do)

 Well, the finings have worked – the wine is beautifully clear.

| Paracord Bracelet Tutorial (23.04.2007) |
 As soon as I'd finished my Paracord Bracelet, I'd decided to write a tutorial on making one. A good thing considering the majority of the responses since I posted it were asking me how to do it! Here goes.. You will need approximately 3 metres of paracord with the ends already sealed/melted, and something to make a temporary knot - a twist tie or piece of string should suffice.

| How to Sharpen an Axe (09.07.2007) |
 I have been asked a number of times recently to provide some advice of guidance on the best way to sharpen an axe. Whilst I am always happy to provide input, I thought that it might be worthwhile to put together a tutorial on the basic techniques. The techniques used in here are intended to provide not only a sharp axe but also a safe and efficient axe.

There was a period in my life where I lived out of a pack for months at a time and this was one of my staples.
I like to coil it like a rope on a stick and bake it over hot coals...

 There are many different ways you can make a berry picker but this is just a design i came up with which uses a packet of kebab skiewers and some discs of wood.

| Fire By Friction - Using a fire-kit made with stone tools (31.05.2007) |
 The whole kit took less than three hours to finally pull together — though that really overlooks by far the most time-consuming aspect, the preparation of materials. In fact, preparation has two components, actually. The first is the selection of materials. The second is the actual preparation.

You should be as proud, as I am jubilant, to have been able to make my 6 year old a bracelet
that she adores.
Many thanks to you & BushcraftUK
