Well, I guess there are benefits to working at a place that makes stuff out of Bosch Structural Aluminum...

I shared my idea with my shop foreman, and he took it and ran with it.

I think it turned out fantastic!

Now I need to make one for him!


What do you guys think?
I may make a few tweeks to the design after I use it for a bit. Mainly the addition of a ruler to assist with setup, but a tape measure works for now.

I'm thinking about having him price out the components and see if there's a market. Probably not, though.

This stuff isn't cheap... :gaah:

That is really nice looking.

 

[asemery]

That is a very nice jig. Tony

 

[yolandajones]

I did made hard one not easy

 

[GatorCord]

Very interesting, looks super professional! Are any of the parts purpose made? I recognize some of the parts from indoor screens for example. Should be possible to find at certain hardware stores.

Love it!!! Great idea to add a ruler, also. Maybe something like this would work?Chromalabel 1" adhesive ruler tape - 14 YDS

 

[MrParacord]

Nice product find GoSlo.

That's actually architectural aluminum used for storefronts and so forth. And your right it is not cheap unless you have a lot of cutoffs.

Well, I've been putting it to good use.

I made 26 bracelets in about 4 hours a week ago, and this morning, tried my hand on double wide Solomon weave I saw on Youtube ( http://youtu.be/TThjgn3YmaQ?list=PLIaHXNyfBX-Gp0k2W-jI0xvtzxL3innCg ).

Turned out nice, IMHO...

 

[MrParacord]

Nice work. How much paracord do you have?

 

[Sparky_D]

Total?
I bought about a dozen 100' lengths of various colors a few weeks ago and 60 3/4" whistle buckles.
I've gone through about 300-400' so far and half the buckles.

I need to check with my seller to see how many sold at the various craft fairs she's been to.

What buckled do you use/what supplier sells good, hard wearing ones

We prototyped something link this in the past. It was pretty expensive to make.

 

[Trab9000]

It was modeled off our production jig; the PPJ-16.
