Would you like a heatshrinkless paracord sleeving guide?

[Oshino Shinobu]

I've been asked how I did my sleeving and what guides, methods etc I used for it, both on the forums, pictures of my build, facebook, my buildlog etc.

 

I know there are plenty of guides to normal sleeving using heatshrink, but not that many for heatshrinkless, especially with paracord. The ones that are around often use methods that require some pretty expensive or hard to find tools that I think are just not necessary and a waste of time and money. Because of the lack of guides, and the amount I have been asked, I am considering making a guide on the method that I use for all of my cables. 

 

So, would you like me to make a guide for it? (The guide will use text and pictures. I'll probably take pictures of a lot of things so you get a visual representation of what I mean)

Is this bad?

Is this bad?

That's the guide I based my cables on, but I find that he uses some methods that don't work all too well and some that can just be skipped altogether.

That'd be cool, then. I want to do more with paracord.

Sure. I'd like to look into doing my own cables anyway. =)

Thanks. It's cheaper than MDPC sleeving, and I think it looks better and is nicer to work with than MDPC.

It's not as hard as everyone makes it out to be, but it is a pain in the ass sometimes. The last two pictures I posted were my first attempt using the heatshrinkless method, so it should give you an idea of how easy it is to make it look good when it's done right.

I only use Paracord on my products.

[Oshino Shinobu]

Seems like it's leaning towards a yes. 

 

If I have time, I'll try to get it done tomorrow. I have some more sleeving that I need to do anyway, so maybe I'll make the guide as I go along.

Thanks for the video! I've never used paracord, but will be in the next few days.
