For those who had problems with the Link to CandlePowerForums, please try again tomorrow.

I regularly visit CPF, and when I clicked on the link (I just wanted to Bookmark it, I've seen it before and kept meaning to buy some Bracelets) it gave me an error, that it could not Resolve the Hostname. Since I know I had visited it earlier, I tried some DNS trickery, and finally got to CPF after having to go all the way down to the Root .COM server.

My guess would be that CPF either moved their physical server location, or made some change to their DNS entry, and it hasn't yet propagated throughout all the DNS servers out there. That would explain why some had problems, and others did not.

So, long story short, try again tomorrow and the Link should be working by then. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I placed my order for three of them earlier tonight and was told they should arrive around Tuesday. I'll take some photos of them when they get here and post them up. Anyone interested let me know and I'll pass it along.

How long are they once undone?

And how much for a belt made this way?

Length is dependant on your wrist size, from what I have read it is somewhere around 15'. He doesn't do belts.

If I remember right from the other forum, you send him the measurements of your wrist and he makes one long enough to comfortably fit around it.
As for a belt, I'm sure he would give you a price on one that length if you asked him but the belt of it would be pretty skinny to use as a functional belt useing that macramé braid knot.. better would be the eight strand alternating square knot useing 4 sections of cord (fold the cord in half to make the 8 sections) on a standard ring and pin buckle.. then you end up with 2 long strands of cord when you take it apart..

ok, so I was wrong, maybe he doesn't... have you asked or have you just not seen it?

Other people have asked him if he does belts. His reply was that it would be cost prohibitive given the amount of cord it would take and the length of time it would require to do them. Not to mention people go up and down on waist size so most people would not always be able to wear them. This was his answer when I asked because someone asked me to ask for them. A paracord belt is a cool idea and I suppose with some extra $ incentive he would do it but I don't know for sure.

Still, he is pretty flexible and very good with customer relations, anyone who is interested should just ask, he might say yes but I don' want to guess what the pricing would be like.

I was really surprised that there would be 15 feet of cord in a bracelet. A belt that would fit around my large 38 inch waist would be really long! I'm researching on how to make my own as suggested.

Make your own belt, or make your own bracelet, or both?
