Little help with cordage

(1/2) > >>

nugget:
I am in need of some instruction on making cordage. I have some material  to work with but am lacking the proper technique to make it  ??? .
If someone could give a tutorial  or tell me where i can find a tutorial I would be gratefull.
I have tried on my own but it never seems to turn out correctly.
Thanks

Hillbilly:
TJ, hard to explain, easy to show. If we could sit down for a few minutes, you'd be making cordage like a pro in no time. If you haven't gotten it figured out by the camp-o-rama, we'll work on it.

huntertrapper:
ive only made like yucca cordage but i twist and braid but i cant say i make a lot...lol

nugget:
I am looking forward to the Camp o rama Hillbilly.
 I am having trouble when I try to splice shorter lenght together.

Hillbilly:
TJ, you need to be splicing new fibers in almost continuously to get consistant diameter on the cordage. Just lay the new fiber alongside the old and twist it up with it.
