Braiding an Eye Splice in 550

[IA Woodsman]

When I did the video on the Poncho sling chair I used a piece of braided 550 cord. It also had a eye slice in it. I was asked by several different people to do a vid on braiding an eye in a 550 cord rope. In my opinion braiding is a viable way to make cordage out of natural materials. It is not a strong as twisting but it will work. If you have any questions please ask.

Excellent video, i'll be trying this out over the next couple of days. I can think of more than a few uses for some braided 550 with an eye splice.

Thanks for the post and video.
