Definitely going to give this one a go, I like that style. One thing I have started doing is instead of preshrinking my cord before doing everything, I now shrink after creating whatever it is I am creating. In this case, I would make the bracelet a little large, usually about a 1/2 inch larger than what I would wear, and then when complete, soak it in super hot water, not so much boiling, and then let it air dry over night. It tightens everything up, and in the case where the slack was a little loose, it would be nice and tight in the morning. Thanks for this tutorial, great job!
First time here. Just wanted to make my own rifle sling. Didn't expect to run into Mad Max. Just click about 14 videos for "watch later". And clicked Sub'd too.
Awesome bracelet! what I did find useful, but it changed the original bracelet a bit to rid the problem of the feed loop loosening due to excessive use was to add a slide knot between the stop knot to it and it worked super on it. It rid the problem of it loosening on you.
I wanna say thank you for this. I’ve already completed my first one by your design and it should come in very handy for my bushcraft hobby. Keep up the wonderful videos
I switched completely from knot and loop to the Mad Max style. It's a lot easier to put the bracelets on and off and you can make a bracelet for a friend or family member without measuring. But it is a great video
I really like this style bracelet. I can't wait to get home and start making it. I wish I had this color to work with. I think the toughest part is going to bet the knot. But, I'm sure I'll get it before I turn batty! Thanks for the tutorial.
Very cool, like these kinds of bracelets w/o the buckle😌 Didn't know you could make these till I was in a Michaels craft store and I was looking for material for my nieces bracelet.
I wat to say thank you for your grate Tutorial its very easy to copy it. And I think this knot and the Fishtail are the lightest for Beginners. Best wishes from Austria! And I hope you take the wright President for the next USA but there are not good Canditats. :-)
I realize this is a couple of years old but still a great video! Some have complained of the zoom depth but you only need to focus on the point you are currently working. Only recommendation is at the beginning with the initial knot, use a small piece of scrap folded in half that you can tighten like crazy and leave to the end. Then when you finish (especially if you don’t have a fid) singe your bracelet ends to the scrap and pull it right through nice and tight!!
Hey Chad, thanks for the comment! And yes that's a very good tip about using a small piece of paracord to tighten down the first knot. Thanks for sharing that!
I recently found your channel!! I love your videos. They are easy to follow and don't waste my time. Good stuff!! Thank you for sharing your art. ✳️💜☯️🙏☮️✌️❇️
I need help on last part where u pull the top loop to make the bottom 2 loops tighter the top loop gets too big and my knot isnt be enough as the top hole its really big or... Even if i get the right size knot when its on my wrist and the knot starts pulling the hold it gets bigger ?
Ah first time I tried it I didn't get the sling tight enough. Found out however that I can pull the stopper knot through on the opposit site to create more friction :D
Really appreciate your stuff. Suggestion : why not (no pun) use a doubled piece of 550 scrap to hold the hole open? That way you can keep the hole nice and tight. Thoughts?
Very easy to follow instruction! My question is, given i do not have a mans wrist on hand to measure on, how many inches of cord is left when you pull it through the loop before making the end knot?
It depends if you want a short cord when pulled through I think the minimum is about 2 inches or so. Any less and it will be really hard to get the bracelet over your hand.
I have been making the standard Solomon knot mad max style. The excess that you adjust to tighten on your wrist, do you let in just hang there, or do you tuck yours in?
Thanks for the reply. I actually started adjusting mine where it is pretty hard to get on, but once its their it's loose. There's no excess hanging that way.
thank you Tim. I hate wasting cord, how much did you cut off? Actually, I believe it would be kind to show how much is cat (wasted) when you make a bracelet (or any project).
Hey! Thanks for this tutorial. :D I bought some paracord a while back and the tutorial that came with it wasn't exactly helpful (illustrations were botched, I think, or I'm just a bit stupid...). I used to do a lot of macramé years ago, but have never attempted this knot before, and only ever used hemp, which of course isn't as useful or sturdy. That being said, I found this easy to pick up, and am pleased with the result. I really like the look of this design, prefer it over the cobra one (mainly because that was what I mainly used to do back in the day), and it feels more flexible on the wrist. :)
thanks for the tutorials it is help me a lot. but i seems have a problem. i've doin' knoting last 2 months and this video is my first bracelet. but after a month, knot in my bracelet seems starting to loose (not tight like the first time). i don't know why, can you help me? ow almost forgot, btw i use non nylon paracord... thanks a lot
in this tutorial you tie each snake not separately, but in your other snake knot tutorials, they are linked.... is there a difference? a reason I would do one method over the other? Thanks!
I'm not sure what you mean by that. Like you want to have a ring on the bracelet? Or you want to be able to take your ring off and then attach it to the bracelet?
+The Weavers of Eternity Paracord Tutorials Sorry, I should have described better. The steel ring would be the size of a bracelet itself. Could this method be used to conceal a large ring within the design?
+Mangesh Dhere in theory you can use leather, I've used round strings for weaving. But actually any cord will do + you can order this thing on aliexpress, it's like 5$ for 40 meters
Thanks a lot man !! very helpful. I just made one in sky blue for my Grandma, who is doing very bad :-( I love the music at the end, could you tell me what it is ?
Did you know the original bracelet was not part of Max's costume, rather a personal item that Hardy wears pretty much all the time because a friend of his in the military made it for him. The more you know🌠 lol either way good tutorial

+Rich Johnson Great tip!
sounds like a good idea
I can't under over why
Rich Johnson q
Does this method work with women? Lol
this is my first paracord bracelet, and I gotta say you have the best tutorials easy to follow, clear and concise, 8/10 would watch again
much better video then the other "mad max" style one i watched and made,...just a bit of frustration. thank you for your easy to follow guide
made this as my first bracelet today and it turned out great. thank you your a natural teacher
Sidney Bryman hey! 5 feet would be enough?
Sohila Ganta Hi it depends on your wrist size. If I remember I used 10ft which gave me plenty of room to practise the knots but cut off loads after.
Sidney Bryman hahaha thankyou soo much. :)
I made a Black Mad Max knot bracelet. It looks great. I had to adjust the knot several times. This know will teach you patients.

This has become my new favorite bracelet.
I've made several over the past few days -- including a Manny-bonded OHSA Orange/Reflective Silver just now.
Simple, classic, cool. It rocks!
Thanks a lot 4 ur great and well organized channel *-*
Best paracord videos on the interwebs
+EliteHunting1911 :D!!!!!!
I agree this is THE best! Very interesting ideas ! Mad Max braclet is my favorite though **
This is very cool. Very nice and simple to put on and off wrist. Your tutorials are always great and I find relaxing. Thanks.
I think that these r the best bands in the world and the most beautiful and cheap.
This is great. 8’ was a bit short for me. But it’s a starting place and adding a foot made this perfect with minimal waste
Didn't watch the movie...but love the bracelets. Thanks for the great tutorial!
I made my frist bracelet =D ,Thank your for teaching . Greeting From morocco
Awesome! You're very welcome and thanks for watching and commenting.
I switched completely from knot and loop to the Mad Max style. It's a lot easier to put the bracelets on and off and you can make a bracelet for a friend or family member without measuring. But it is a great video

I like it. it was a good simple instructional video
Nice stuff you produce, I love it!
Thank you, great video!
Thank you very much. Nice tutorial.
You're welcome! Thanks for commenting!
I wonder if you could tie paracord around a coin to make a cool sort of key chain. Idk, could be cool. Nice vid! Love this channel.
+Clay Ballard You definitely could, but I just haven't figured out a way to do it yet. Thanks for the comment!
Very cool, like these kinds of bracelets w/o the buckle😌 Didn't know you could make these till I was in a Michaels craft store and I was looking for material for my nieces bracelet.
So sharp!

Hey Chad, thanks for the comment! And yes that's a very good tip about using a small piece of paracord to tighten down the first knot. Thanks for sharing that!
This was really fun to make and I would do it again. it looks cooler if you do the two single strand diamond knots instead of the one.
Ohhh nice, that would look really awesome too. I'll have to try that out for myself! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks
was very helpful thank you and i also checked out ur dimond knot video also very helpful thank would love to c more
Very good. Other tutorials are so very hard to understand.
You are genious!!, fantastic!. Greetings from Chile!!, I will do it!
Did you do it!?
Nice video mate!! good job!!
thank you bro
you are excellent !
Thank you very cool. Is there a trick to threading the cord if you don't have that cool knitting needle looking tool?
I recently found your channel!! I love your videos. They are easy to follow and don't waste my time. Good stuff!! Thank you for sharing your art. ✳️💜☯️🙏☮️✌️❇️

Merci pour la video qui m'a montré une autre version de bracelet paracorde, bonne soirée , david, france ;)
really good useful to all
Hi there..would you please do a snake knot neck lanyard (with buckles & a bead/hex nut)?
I need help on last part where u pull the top loop to make the bottom 2 loops tighter the top loop gets too big and my knot isnt be enough as the top hole its really big or... Even if i get the right size knot when its on my wrist and the knot starts pulling the hold it gets bigger ?
I learn something new and I oh it all to you thank you very much for the tutorial
it is pretty simple to do i believe most of the people can accomplish of course it takes patients and a little time..
i like this bracelet
very good dud
Ah first time I tried it I didn't get the sling tight enough. Found out however that I can pull the stopper knot through on the opposit site to create more friction :D
Really appreciate your stuff.
Suggestion : why not (no pun) use a doubled piece of 550 scrap to hold the hole open? That way you can keep the hole nice and tight.
Thoughts?
Image BLOGGER Amazing idea! Once you're finished with the main knots, use the scrap as a kind of fid if you don't have a real one. Thanks for the idea
nice job
Very easy to follow instruction! My question is, given i do not have a mans wrist on hand to measure on, how many inches of cord is left when you pull it through the loop before making the end knot?
It depends if you want a short cord when pulled through I think the minimum is about 2 inches or so. Any less and it will be really hard to get the bracelet over your hand.
ty for responding! and ty for teaching me a new skill!
I have been making the standard Solomon knot mad max style. The excess that you adjust to tighten on your wrist, do you let in just hang there, or do you tuck yours in?
+PsychoDemonify I just let it dangle there. But I've worn it tucked into the bracelet as well before.
Thanks for the reply. I actually started adjusting mine where it is pretty hard to get on, but once its their it's loose. There's no excess hanging that way.
+The Weavers of Eternity Paracord Tutorials did you like Mad Max??
Nice one
Wonderful! I'm guessing if I wanted to add something like hex nuts, I would do it before I make a knot?
Thanks Trishana! You could incorporate hex nuts throughout if you wish, just add them as you go and yes, add them before you finish with the knot.
Thanks for the help! Your channel is awesome
+The Weavers of Eternity Paracord Tutorials it is hard to make it but it is worth it!!
I have a question for you. Is it possible to tie this knot with a core to make it a little larger in diameter for such as a dog leash?
What colour is this it looks great
This color is tan.
Glad I found your channel. You mentioned the total length is 8 feet but did you start your loop right down the middle at 4 feet?
+C Lewis Yeah I started at the middle. You can always give yourself a little extra paracord to be sure you have enough.
thank you Tim. I hate wasting cord, how much did you cut off? Actually, I believe it would be kind to show how much is cat (wasted) when you make a bracelet (or any project).
Hey! Thanks for this tutorial. :D I bought some paracord a while back and the tutorial that came with it wasn't exactly helpful (illustrations were botched, I think, or I'm just a bit stupid...).

Good job
Take a drink every time he says 'knot'
Прикольно, папе такой сделаю...)
Cool, dad do this.
in this tutorial you tie each snake not separately, but in your other snake knot tutorials, they are linked.... is there a difference? a reason I would do one method over the other? Thanks!
There's not really much of a difference, the linked snake knots is a slightly thicker bracelet. Overall though, they look almost the same.
I don't have a fid. Can I make the loop a bit loose and tighten it later?
+Elena Chace It would be hard to do that with this method. Just try to make the loop as small as possible.
Really nice manicure!
how tight do you pull your snake knots? Is tight or lose better?
Thanks man.
I'l do it.
I have a question and that is did u make the bracelet by using nylon cord or not????
thanks i actually did it after a few trys also the las part couldn't done it right
I have never seen a screw-on needle before. Can I purchase it from a craft or sewing store?
+J Kay They might have them at a craft store, probably not a sewing store. Your best bet is to get them online.
Could one use this method to conceal a steel ring, even if not for wearing?
I'm not sure what you mean by that. Like you want to have a ring on the bracelet? Or you want to be able to take your ring off and then attach it to the bracelet?
+The Weavers of Eternity Paracord Tutorials Sorry, I should have described better. The steel ring would be the size of a bracelet itself. Could this method be used to conceal a large ring within the design?
Ohh, I see. So you want the bracelet to be rigid. I think it would be possible.
Muy buenos vídeos...
congratula tons, greta! !!
What color is that called an where do u get the one color u always use its like a black red color an cool video I did one just a few weeks ago
+Zx9r That color is Licorice. You can find it at paracord planet.com
m not getting this cord in my city..... can i use leather cords?..... kindly suggest me alternative material please....
+Mangesh Dhere in theory you can use leather, I've used round strings for weaving. But actually any cord will do + you can order this thing on aliexpress, it's like 5$ for 40 meters
+Kilo Ton thank you.... and i alrdy ordered it from aliexpress only...... best coincidence....but still thank you again.....
i like it
Make more with the Mad Max method
Lol this could be a nice thing to do as a past time, perfect as dog collars also.
Thanks a lot man !! very helpful. I just made one in sky blue for my Grandma, who is doing very bad :-(
I love the music at the end, could you tell me what it is ?
Is she doing ok now?
Beautiful
is there a way to make this knot thicker. this is my first bracelet because it's easy but I want it to be beefier. I have big arms so it looks tiny.
In my opinion, having it too thick does not look as nice.
If you tie the snake knot like the original method that I've taught, it will look a little thicker or you could use thicker cord.
that is the best thing ever
And those who gave the thumbs down, did so for what reason? I just dont get it...
Thanks for posting. Thumbs up!
good one
Did you know the original bracelet was not part of Max's costume, rather a personal item that Hardy wears pretty much all the time because a friend of his in the military made it for him. The more you know🌠 lol either way good tutorial
+Ray Mattison I read about that too, so cool!
