Step 2
Glue 2in(5cm) section into one of the 1/2in(12.7mm) end caps.



Step 3
Sand the exposed section of the 1/2in(12.7mm) pipe so it will fit into the 3/4in(19mm) pipe.



Step 4

Step 6
Pick up 1 of the 3/4in (19mm) couplers. see the ridge on the inside? It needs to go away. You will also need to lightly sand the entire inside of the coupler so it slides somewhat snuggly down the 3/4in(19mm) pipe.

Once you have it sanded, slide it down the pipe so it is past the 8in(20.955cm) mark.



Step 8
Apply glue between your marks all the way around the pipe and slide the coupler down to your 6 1/4in(15.875cm) mark.

Take another 3/4in(19mm) coupler (do not sand this one) and glue it to the end of your pipe.

Handle Wrap
Step 1
Make a Clove Hitch Make sure you set your working end (the end that you will continue to tie knots with) to your right.





Step two
Make a loop around the handle making sure the working end is tucked inside (this is how the spiral is formed.)



Step 3
Pull the working end tight as you work the loop down the handle to you clove hitch.







Step 4
Once there pull as tight as you can and repeat step until you get to the desired length. To secure it in place at the end I applied some super glue to the paracord right under my last knot and laid my working end over the glue. Once that dried I cut the excess off and used a lighter to melt end, with a leather glove on while it was still burning I pressed the end down smooth. I did the same thing to the tail (non-working end) at the base of my wrap.
