I do sell and trade my work . I have been selling enough to pay for my paracord , it's good to have a hobby that pays for itself .
A lot of the repeat customers I have order custom pieces , they tell or show me what they want , and I make it happen .
Here is a custom piece I did a while back tied with one strand .
I should mention that these monkeyfists are tied around a 3/4 " ball bearing , so they are heavy .
Whenever someone picks one up , they swing it against their hand and say something like " damn , you could do some damage with this !"
So as far as being a lanyard ... I don't know ...
But they are cool . Here is another custom piece .
A turkshead crown sennet with an s-biner .
Just realized that I have already posted some of these pieces in this thread https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/2624
I post pics of my work in several forums , so I can't always remember where I posted what ...

You are the master Jack. I like how all your stitches are so uniform, they look better than the YouTube guys look.
Well TIAT is doing a demo , so his stiches are loose . Stormdrane , however is positively anal about clean work .
Tying a knot is only half the job , dressing the knot is the other ...
Hey Jack do you have site with pics of all your work......dont really have time to do this because of life and family and i will be willing to pay for some.
Perhaps I should make an album available on Photobucket ...
I'll see what I can do .
Yes that will be nice......you should really think of a knot for us blf'ers, that is exclusive just to you.
Yeah , I like that idea ! One of the neatest things about knotting is the endless variety of knots and combinations of them that you can utilize for different projects .
alfreddajero , you want a smaller monkeyfist for a work lanyard . That makes perfect sense .
I also make these turkshead lanyards which do not contain any metal balls . They are solid paracord and therefore very light .

Alright , here is a hastily thrown together album of some of my work .

Looking good Johnny. Are the bracelet clips from lighthound? If they are, do you like them?

They are and I do except for the price. I can get the same exact ones on ebay much cheaper. I really like the watch band. Extremely comfortable!

Here is a lanyard that doesn't work on all lights, for cosmetic reasons IMO, but is extremely practical. You can use it as a wrist lanyard or on one or two fingers for a secure grip that won't fall out of your hand.
Nice even better.......And some awesome pics as well.
