2010 - Thanks to Drac!  Great tutorials - This is turning out to be even more interesting and fun than expected.  Bumped into this site just looking for leather braiding to enhance the toys and build a bullwhip - boyhood fantasy.  Braided a few turks back in the 70s on various toys. Believe it or not, I went to the Boy Scout handbook for a refresher.  Sidney Woods over on KHWW really made my head explode anticipating all the Parts x Bights.  Recently made a few quickie leather items for playtime but nothing this nice.  Time to step it up a notch and make something that looks as good as it feels.
