i think i might be restringing and perfecting tomorrow...so be on the lookout... :nahya:

Haha kinda hard to critique anything when the pics are enormous...try resizing your pics a little smaller bro. It will be easier for us to help you out.

Looks pretty good for the most part though. I Really like the Duct tape knife

EDIT:Thanks for resizing

[MDlaxin69]

whoa, your pics are huge... but it looks good from what i can see, although you posted a huge picture of your knot, it is not quite intelocked correctly.

[laxkid891]

alrighty guys...well imagesocket had some huge pics so i just put the links...now for the critiquing...i need as much as i can get so i can do it right tomorrow!

[XxlacrossexX]

have the channel widen near the pocket.

[laxkid891]

have the channel widen near the pocket.
ok will do that tomorrow in the restring....c'mon guys what else??? help a brotha out

[Talent223]

Like MDlaxin said, I don't think your knots are interlocked correctly. Maybe they are, but they just look wierd. Other than that, it looks pretty darn good.

[laxkid891]

im 99.9% sure i interlocked correctly but i dont think its tight...idk...if u guys can spot it lmk so i can fix it

[laxman37]

You take nice pictures :clap: That pocket looks very nice, looks like a rp for the most part, except for the channel, and the non-exsisting saddle.

[laxkid891]

ok guys i have realized that i interlocked my knots only halfway so they are interlocked incorrect.....redo tomorrow! :chair:

[JayWap]

Your knots are done incorrectly. Sorry to say that. But you wanted to Know. And I know you want them right. Other than that yeah widen the channel where you want the pocket. But besides those two things. That pocket looks superb. After you fix that. It will be perfect. Here look at this knot carefully!!! It's from Viperlaxer132 tut. The left knot is right and the right one is wrong.
Keep up the good work. You got some skill.

Haha beat me to it.^^^^^^^^

No Problem. VVVVVVVVV

[crazydrew86]

im not in the mood to read so im sorry for reiterating what may have already been posted. there are too many x's , you wanna have like 6. by having more x's there is less hold. You also may want to tighten the knots. they arent quite inerlocked correctly ether. pretty nice attempt

thanks jaywap.......thats a real confidence booster dude...thanks!

[Talent223]

I don't know if you know this, but you go over-over one way, and under-under the other way to interlock the knots. Look at the pics closer and you will get what I am saying. Good luck.

[yourtenderloins]

[laxkid891]

you should call that thing rambo

[Thomson#1]

the new channel might be a little wide, looks awesome though KEEP IT UP :D

[laxgoalieking]

why were you so excited about the first two like i can see being excited over seeing a torpedo but a bird and a plane?

[AttackMan17]

why were you so excited about the first two like i can see being excited over seeing a torpedo but a bird and a plane?

You have NEVER seen superman?

[laxgoalieking]

You have NEVER seen superman?
i have but i have never figured out why the first two guys get excite over seeing a bird an a plane.

[b-waterlax]

I like the pocket, but your title, why would a torpedo be in the air? Arn't they used in water? Idk if I'm right, just thought I'd point that out.

[laxin21]

i have but i have never figured out why the first two guys get excite over seeing a bird an a plane.

they're not actually saying OMG LOOK A BIRD, they're looking at superman but don't know it so they're asking is that a bird? No, i think its a plane. NO ITS SUPERMAN!! bu-da-dahhhhh. Really they dont know what they're looking at

anyway, on the original pics it looks sick except for the knots, which i see you have fixed. Too bad i still can't do interlocking :sad: The new channel looks sweet w/ that mini saddle. Im guessing the new one is gonna be perfect, you definately kno what you're doin so keep it up

[LaxLlama8]

They say: It's a bird, it's a plane, NO, IT'S SUPERMAN!! If you don't understand that, I don't know what the world is coming to.

[yourtenderloins]

I still think it looks like Rambo with the red shooter.
