Ringbolt Hitching Key Ring
Ringbolt Hitching Key Ring
My nephew wanted a large key ring for his motorboat. He liked this.
I started with 6' of 550 paracord. I left 6" tag end of cord at the beginning and began single strand ringbolt hitching around a 1 1/2" OD steel ring. Tied the 2 ends using a diamond knot relative. Had about 4" of cord left over .

Kinda cool! Although for a boat, I would want a key ring that floats. I just know my luck.....

That is cool......
Agree with the floating part...maybe use something like this?...and wrap that?

You are both right about the floating part being more practical. Especially with Murphy's Law. I think he keeps the key ring on a hook in the boat and does not carry it in his pocket.

I also agree. It looks fantastic!

As an alternate ending I took the two ends and tied them into a 4 bight, 3 lead Turks Head Knot. Saw the idea in rein endings in Bruce Grants "How to make Cowboy Horse Gear".

Very nice! They are both great, but I do like the finish of the second one. Fantastically done!

The Turks Head knot doubles nicely.
