  3. Thanks knothead, i just bought white saddle soap the other day for braiding so ill use it to dampen the goat skin too, thats a neat little tool, you got there, im a carpenter but am finding it hard to follow your directions for making one, could you post a couple close up pictures of it especially the slot that your talking about, thanks D.A.
  4. I just remembered i have some thin goat rawhide i was going to use for a drum and would like to cut it into some lace, my question is, do i cut it dry, or does it have to be wet or damp, can i use my cheap plastic lace cutter to make it, and how thin do you think i can cut it ?, 1mm wide 2mm wide ??? looking to make some small turkshead knots to decorate a 5mm thick 4 strand round necklace. Thanks all D.A.
  5. Has anyone seen this video, looks like he's using a coffee ground paste to make his braids and braid edges really pop !!
  6. Nice work does this braid go from 3 strands at the loop to 6 strands, and is that a pineapple knot on the end ? Thanks
  7. Really nice necklace !!!, where do you purchase your clasp ???
  8. Thanks 25b but im not on facebook. Any other resources would be appreciated.

  10. Thanks, ill certainly look into purchasing David Morgans book.
  11. Thats a fantastic video, thank you very much, now i just need to figure out how to loop the 4 strand braid around and weave it back into the main body of the bracelet, or is there another way to accomplish this. Here's a pic of the one i'd like to make Thanks again
  12. Thanks biglew, now i need to figure out how to end the 4 strand round braid with a nice round button type knot and a loop on the other end to form a nice bracelet, any suggestions ???
