- Ever wanted to know how to braid your own falconry equipment? In this video series I’ll show you how. This particular video will cover all of the materials and tools I use and recommend. I have been braiding falconry equipment since 2016. When I first started learning I struggled to find falconry-specific instructions, or any instructions for that matter. So I decided to make the videos I wished I had when I began. I’ll be showing you the basics of how to braid, as well as some techniques I’ve learned through years of trial and error.
If you have any questions, drop them in the comments below and I will get back to you. If you have found these videos to be helpful, please like & subscribe.
Be sure to follow up with the remaining 3 videos in this series!
If you have found that braiding is not for you, I’d be happy to make you a custom set. Contact me @

Great videos Megan, glad someone finally put something like this together. I have been making my own braided gear for a couple+ decades and you gave me some new ideas! I like the vice suggestion! It would be great if you could give some tips on where to find the cordage that you use for braiding. Also, a handy tip that I use - small binder clips work GREAT at pinching off the material when you need to take a break. They also work great when you need to keep your strands organized while you are working on one side of a loop or when you are merging all the strands again after completely a loop.
Thank you so much for these videos! I'm trapping my first passage kestrel next month and love making my own equipment. Almost ordered b50 dacron bowstring until I found your videos! Keep up the fantastic work!
I love the idea of using a fly tying vice to hold your work in. I used braided dacron on my first attempt, but my bird destroyed the sennit knot the first day, wish I'd known the super glue tip then.

What is the best cord you used for jesses and Leashes for Eagles
What size buttons are you using? The ones I got the holes were too small for the second strand to go through the hole.
What weight/diameter lines are you using??? Not worried about strength I’m sure it’s all strong just what sizes are actually workable? Thinking around 1.0mm would be about right
Hello , great videos! They really helped me figure out the 8 strand braid and sennet knot! I practiced using 1.8mm micro cord from atwood. I wanted to ask, what size do you usually think would be good on a HHs or RTs... even with 8 strands of the 1.8 mm, the jess just seems so small in diameter, compared to say parachord. 1.8 seems more the size for a kestral in the hand. Your selections look a lot better than paracord imo. Let me know what you recommend.
Maybe I'm just to use tonusing leather or seeing parachord. I'm sure this fishing line is plenty string and much lighter in weight
Hi Megan do you have a link for Braid for a beginner please
Hello Megan. Will you be Doing a Lesson on CZcams showing Us? Or how about a CD on this Project? How are your Birds Doing? Any Good News for Us? Can you Do Knots instead of Buttons ? Thanks for this short Video. Greg of Ohio
