That is so straight.
Keep at it. The destination will be well worth the journey.

This night i got it to 24plat. It is reeally slim whip.
There is few gaps where i have added strand but i think good rolling will take care of that.
I unplaited it a little bit to make colours stay on same side. It might be easier to do fancy plait in the handle that way.

Thanks!
While i was waiting for kids to fall asleep i had time to play with face plat.

Is there anything wrong with this desing? I have never really used face plat so i have no idea..

It looks like fun.
I have found that anything is possible until it's not.

Jyri, how long is the handle? I have a 30-plt 10.5" handle covered in 275 and there are at least 75 passes from heel to transition. I suspect your pattern may fall rather short.

Jyri, that handle design looks amazing!
In terms of the number of passes, for a 10in handle, with 2mm paracord (assuming a perfect 45 degree angle of plaiting) I believe you need around 90 passes (Yes, I even have calculations for this kind of stuff hahaha)
You seem to have ~75 passes on this pattern, so even if you don't fully get to the end, you could easily extend it a bit more with a repetitive pattern (like solid bars) ^_^

Thanks!
I was making it with my phone so i lefted it short. I have to make better one with computer and print it.
Sir Roger i havent measured it yet.

Jyri - that is some fancy plaiting. I have yet to delve into the world of intricate handles, so I'm envious of your skill. However, am I reading that correctly? 16 total strands?
