Starting the Ring
Thread the paracord through the metal ring until the paracord reaches its middle, or the 3 ft mark.

lace the inner cord over the outer cord

Hook the cord facing down back up through the back of the crook, which is the aluminum band.

Pull the running ends tightly.
Continuing the Solomon Bar
Lace the right running cord over the left running cord.

Hook the right running end backwards and up through the back of the crook, just like the start of the solomon bar, just flipped.

Lace the left running end over the right running end.
CTS Pt. 5
Hook the left running cord facing down backwards and up through the back of the crook, and pull tight.
