Welcome to my blog. Here I've posted photos of my hobby and share some ideas on things I've learned to make using decorative and useful knots. If you want to learn, there are informative links throughout the blog for books and online learning resources. If you have trouble figuring a knot out, have patience and keep trying.

Paracord watchband with a side release buckle
I made a tutorial for the paracord watchband. I've added a photo tutorial on a blog page for it and one with more details on the instructables website.
Nice tutorial, both here and on instructables. Just out of curiosity, you don't happen to work with computers for a living? Your pictures,blog and instructables are well put together and I thought you might. Anyway, again nice work!
Thanks. I've been playing games on computers since the early 1980's, but have never had a job working with them. I took the photos, but the Blogger and Instructables software make them easy to work with.
Since it starts out just like a cobra stitch paracord bracelet, you can make it without the side release buckles by just not looping it onto anything when you start and sewing on a BDU button onto the double loop end and the single loop end will attach to it. Here's a link showing the bracelet with a button, pics at the bottom.

beautiful work! which book would you recommend for the absolute beginner? I really like your lanyards and fobs.
There are plenty of online resources to keep one busy, but if you want a book, try 'The Book of Decorative Knots' by Peter Owen.

Very nice work on everthing Ive seen. I was wandering what size side release buckle you used on the watch. Thanks.
I used a 1/2" curved side release buckle.
