I want to make a G10 style strap. Does anyone know where I can source some straight cross weave nylon ribbon, Specifically three colours: Dark Navy Blue; Dark Olive and fine Burgundy stripes, but I'd like to see what's out there. No probs getting the hardware.
around here (Canada) the outdoor equipment supply store (MEC - mountain equipment co-op) has rolls of nylon webbing in all colours.....I don't know if they would have the right width though. I have a whole bunch but it is 1" wide that I used to use when climbing/backpacking, won't work for a strap, I've tried a few methods to cut it/melt it/alter it to be the right width but none have been successful
Google is your friend. http://www.strapworks.com/default.asp http://www.plastic-buckle.com/strap-webbings.aspx http://www.theecwcorp.com/nylon-webbing.html Here's a couple places. But to be honest, as cheap as you can get NATO style bands on the bay, why make them yourself?
My Google must be broken or you just have a better Google connection. You're right about that. Just thought it would mike a nice little project for the weekend. Thanks.
Not sure ware you live but have a place called Hobby Lobby its a big art and crafts store and they may have a good assortment for cheep good luck with your fun project!!
