Para cord Celtic torc

How to make a Celtic torc with para cord and wire.

Materials:

Wire,

16-20 feet of para cord,

Pliers with wire cutters,

Fire.

Step 1 Inner shape structure

The first thing to do is get a piece of wire that is long enough to loosely wrap almost all the way around your neck.  You can use bailing wire or just about any kind of metal wire, I used about a third of a coat hanger.

I really like this and want to make one but what kind of knot does it use I really can't tell how to do it from your picture and would love some help if you can spare the time to help me.

Oh yeah, sorry. Those pictures are pretty blurry and bad.
I don't know the name off the top of my head; my friend taught it to me and didn't tell me the name. But I'll ask him and get back to you soon.

Thank you that would be great the knot looks familiar but I cant place it.

[LaGripe]

Hey man, sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, my friend didn't know the name of the knot and my books don't have it in them and I can't find it online, I'm sorry but I guess you're just on your own.

ok thank you for trying I was looking at knots on the internet and it looks a lot like they way you do those plastic lanyard/key chains so maybe I will give that a try and see the results. But thank you for trying.

[LaGripe]

Sure thing, let me know how it goes.

Neat, I think I'll weave a small ring in the center to hang something on.Good job!

[LaGripe]

Cool, send a picture when you're done.

I don't know why I like this so much... but I do, well done :)

[LaGripe]

Thanks,
Have you made one or just looked over the instructions?

[Biggsy]

So far I have just looked at the I'ble, I might have a go if I can find my Paracord... I know someone who makes torc's... and he did something very similar with wire... It's damn heavy, but absolutly beautiful.

It's a great I'ble matey welldone :)
