Paracord cable manufacturing Cannot remember if using nylon Paracord casings were discussed in this thread. For completeness here is a PDF that shows using nylon paracord for a outer coat when you make up your own multi wire cables. 0ab8d824fcc2444afea97557a115b5cc3ed81ed7.pdf 602.37 …

[image] I've always used wire loom. I have a bunch of different sizes. Is there an advantage of para cord over wire loom? Because I'm always willing to try something new.

I like using lots of zip ties :upside_down_face:

I have used your example loom several times but I find the quality not to be great and the weave is too open. Paracord has a much tighter weave than the sleeving you show. The nylon material is very soft, wear resistant and (IMO) gives a much more flexible result; I prefer the nylon version of pa…

[image] LarryD: Storage for your small components. I use 'Satco'-brand takeaway food boxes, which I buy in the hundreds. Benefits: Stackable. Cheap. Flexible. (so depending on the project/phase, the appropriate boxes get moved into a place where they're handy). Self-sorting. (regularly-…

Magnetic Tool Storage Finally got around to make some proper storage for magnetic tools discussed in this thread. Buy some candy for the better half, skulk off with the tin the candies came in. (Don't tell her you bought the candy just for the tin container. :shushing_face: ) Images below are s…
