**At the time this tutorial was made I'd always untie the knot on the retention end of the pouch.  It's optional still, but I don't do it anymore.  I just whip over the knot then glue over top of that. I gave up untying the knot because occasionally the pouch would become disfigured because of it.

    Whip over the untied knot, whip a finger loop, glue the square knot at the end of the whippings, and you're good to go.

Thanks for getting the tutorial up Rat Man. I have a few orders for seatbelt slings to fill tonight but I am on vacation all next week so I will be making at least one Cobra.

Whew!   You'll find them addictive.  Three out of every four slings I make now are Cobras.  They work as well as anything I've used other than a TSSS sling and it's a great look.  As mentioned, cutting the loops at the bottom can be done when making the pj sling also.  That way you never have to worry about your weaving cord being an inch or two short.  Think of the aggravation that could save.  Anyway, it's a relief to finally get the tutorial up.  I hope it doesn't suck.

Thanks, sash. 
Btw, ilpc that's your sling in the tutorial!  I'll try to get it out with RJB's slings tomorrow.  I'm having car trouble with my Sammy again.. the same intermittent stalling problem... and my wife has the other car at work all day.  But I'll get to the post office somehow.

nice tutorial, but in step ten i think, you said to tie it and then start the new weave. how do you tie it without actually making a lump?


the rest is pretty nice, if i had any cord i would make one and experiment around step ten to find out....
