I believe that I just learned how to do the Prejudiced Rhinos right-handed from left-handed instructions.
Thanks to JD for the tutorial!
Rings used 18g 5/32 CJ's.

The real answer is: not much, lol

That's not the greatest answer though, so I'll try to explain better.

I'm going to go from the starting point of a terminated cell.


All of these weaves use different forms and ways of connecting terminated cells:

Rhinos Snorting Drano is tethered terminated cells where the terminated cells are exactly the same:

Barrel is RSD with 2 cyan rings:

Rhinos Snorting Drano (Alternating Oblique) is a Alternating Oblique variant of RSD. Oblique is a variant that we define as taking a pair (or stacked pair) of rings that do not normally have a direct connection and connecting them. In this case, the red and blue rings. In alternating oblique, the direction of the connection changes.:


Prejudiced Rhinos is a little different as it starts with (what I call) a RSD segment. Segments are different from cells as they are tethered on multiple sides:

PR is also connected differently as the tether rings are only connected to a single ring in adjacent segments

Jellybeans on Parade does away with the tether rings and connects the terminated cells directly while also alternating which ring (red or blue) is on top.


Hopefully that helps clear it up a bit

Thank you for the question & the wonderful explanation!!

Yes, thank you very much! Love the explosion chart above and made it easier to understand the placement of the rings.
