That is some awesome work Karen . keep it up and keep posting ,the boss said in the handbag world Cheers Bevan

Thanks for that mate ,,, it is locked in under favorites and i am sure there is plenty of good reading . A lot to learn and understand about the process and best outcome Once again , thanks Bevan

Gday John I think you have done a top job mate !!!! and that pad looks as soft as . Keep up the good work mate Cheers Bevan

Gday Jake Looks nice and neat mate , your heel knot is spot on as allways " nice and straight " when you say 3 strand straight rawhide core what sort of stiffness will that give you??? compaired to a twisted core , being a stiff core , and a plaited core !! and if ya dont mind sharing what sort of prep do ya do ?? Cheers Bevan

I wouldnt mind seeing a pic of it if you could post 1 mate !!!

Gday Lasse I am not sure if this is the answer but i tried it and it works for me Now when i plait 12 strand whips handles and I am plaiting a o2 u2 o2 when i lay the last string of a pass i will then snug up the 1st , 3rd and 5th string on the same side i have just finnished laying the string If i am doing a o3u3 i will snug up 1 and 4 ,i repeat this on every string i lay also i look down the thong to see what is going on and adjust accordingly !! I know it takes abit longer but i just cant seem to get out of the habit , i plait with a vice with wooden block jaws and a bit of leather for protection , If you have a bit of spare time try this it might help you , the vice might be of help for ya to mate , i plait for about 6 to 10 inches then move the work piece closer to the vice again Cheers mate , i hope this helps you Bevan If you look at my web site all the pics are before I used this method, the pic on this post is the latest whip i have done,, but all my Bosals i have plaited like this !! www.bwrwhips.com

Yes that sucks !!!! we have lost a good man from our team !! If only we knew what he was going thru ???? RIP DRAC and all my kind thoughts to the family and friends

Bloody nice too mate !!! thanks for sharing Cheers Bevan www.bwrwhips.com

Top job there Tim !! I am sure it will be fine because when you have your feet planted firmly on the ground it cant fall over unless its way pass midnight and you have been on the piss !!!! I use mine all the time for braiding , i have my stock saddle on it just to make it a bit more comfortable on the butt ,,, I seem to spend more time in the saddle now than i ever have !!!!!

Thankyou to all of you, rcsaddles, entiendo, and everyone who has sent wishes and offered to send items to help, I am only in the very early stages of arranging this fundraiser, and whilst I deeply appreciate your kind gestures I would not expect you to send items. Jade, my daughter, would be blown away by your words and thoughts. It is truely heartwarming to think that total strangers are willing to help, I thank you all and just your thoughts are needed and appreciated. Cheers Bevan

Gday mate , i have been on a externial site and i must say you have some of the best pics i have seen in a long time... I do wish i could get my hands on some rawhide work ,,, i was wondering did you do a twisted core or a plaited core for the bosals you have done??? Could i ask what size strip if it was a twisted core or what was the size strings if it was plaited Thank you for any info you can pass on Cheers mate Bevan
