When I grow up I wanna be like him. LOL He does flawless work. Barry showed us and talked about the ring covering here (starts at post# 108 and goes to #122): http://www.khww.net/...=3457#post_3457 From the Ashley's Book of Knots Rick skyout

Well, if he brings it back for ANY reason, just take it back from him and send it on down to Orlando. lol

Thanks Tracy, The run list helps a lot. Here's the small one. http://tiny.cc/6blb2 And the large boton. http://tiny.cc/yolf9 Thanks for sharing and I hope this is it. lol Looking forward to seeing your pics! Rick skyout

Thanks Tracy. See if these look better (the bights can be adjusted following the common divisor rule to make a larger knot). Small boton knot Large boton knot

There's also Barry's tut over at KHWW.net. I had no problem getting on his site???? Sorry it didn't work for you. You could try this one, too. Ignore the fish pictures. lol http://igkt.net/sm/i...hp?topic=1273.0

Here's a tutorial from Don W on a Braid Crocodile Ridge of 8 strands. Braid Crocodile ridge Hope it helps. Rick skyout

Thanks Tracy, Here are the Grid Maker links to the 2 pass + the 3 pass Gaucho Fan Knots. This is the 9x8 2 pass Gaucho knot, which is enlarged from a 5x4 2 pass Gaucho knot (Hall calls this 5x4 Gaucho a very small Spanish Ring knot). I made this grid after Brian showed us the 3 pass below. 2 pass Gaucho Fan Knot Brian, aka: knothead, showed us this grid over on KHWW.net. Brian's thread on the Grid Maker 3 pass Gaucho Fan Knot Sorry, hope I'm not hijacking the thread too much. Rick skyout

Thanks, looking forward to the pics as I don't have any braiding books yet. I have heard of the Gaucho Fan Knot??? http://www.khww.net/articles.php?article_id=10 Rick skyout

Hi Tracy, I did a quick search on site as well as Google search and came up empty handed. Would you have any pictures of the botan and pampas buttons? Possibly some links? TIA Rick skyout

It was my pleasure Tracy! Any questions you have just ask away and I'll do my best to answer. Post a pic for us, too! Rick skyout

Thanks entiendo, The ones Barry did were from ones he'd seen on horse gear: http://www.hought.com/tbcols1b.html His web page has a tutorial for this beautiful knot: http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/ropeandcanvas/index.html This next one is a 16p X 16b 2 pass, Type 1 using the base 9p X 8b Turks Head with a little variation thrown in. You can click the link to the tutorial I made for the 16p X 16b 2 pass, Type 1 PK in my prior post: I first saw this PK variation at the Tandy store here in Orlando. It was tied in leather and was on the end of a rubber hammer/maul. So I gave it a shot, skipped one of the "overs" in the center interweave to get the slashes (\\\\\) instead of the \/s (\/\/\/\/\/). Small VB cord over a 3/4" wooden core with a 4 strand sq sennit loop and a Matthew Walker at the end. The brown was a little smaller than the white so I doubled the brown and left the white single. Being different sizes really messes the sennit for the loop up, too. AND this was my first MW knot in small stuff!

Here's one way I came up with to expand the colors in a PK. This was with a 7x6 base TH, but it will work with a 9x8 as well. A co-worker asked for a 4 color key fob. He wanted mostly navy and light blue colors, but he wanted a little red and a little white thrown in (the colors are for the Tennessee Titans). This is what I came up with. Navy blue is a 7part x 6bright TH and the light blue 5part x 6bright is the interweave. Then I put in two variations, both with 3 brights, one with white and one with red. A 4 strand braid with a 3/4" wooden core. Line is about 1/16" nylon. For members wanting to learn the 2 pass, CitizenKate was kind enough to include on Leatherworker a tutorial I made for the 16 part x 16 bright 2 pass, Type 1 Pineapple Knot. This one is from a base 9px8b Turks Head with a 7px8b Turk's Head interweave, which gives 3 zigzags in the finished knot. My link

Glad it helped. I really like pineapples and some of the variations you can get with them. Here's a few variations Barry Brown made.

Bud Brewer gave us these Os & Us: I don?t know anything about types, an I definitely don?t know anything about the math of these things. Long ago I sat down an figured out the way the passes go under an wrote it down. Lost it an so, redid it again. I think it is correct. Maybe this will help with the knots PINEAPPLES 2 pass ? first pass under 2 at the top, under 2 at the bottom. There after, under 3 both top and bottom. (basic pineapple) 3 pass ? first pass under 2 at top, under 4 at bottom. There after under 3 at top and under 5 at bottom 4 pass ? first pass under 2 at top, under 6 at bottom. There after under 3 at top and under 7 at bottom 5 pass ? first pass under 2 at top, under 8 at bottom. There after under 3 at top and under 9 at bottom 6 pass ? first pass under 2 at top, under 10 at bottom. There after under 3 at top and under 11 at bottom http://khww.net/photogallery.php?photo_id=699 Hope it helps.

I just did a search for "ring" and came up with only one thread in 8 pages, but it took forever because I kept getting sidetracked. LOL I know it won't work for you as it has metal on it, but here's one from 8thsinner that some others may enjoy. http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=20464&st=0&p=132252&hl=ring&fromsearch=1entry132252

No problem Noah. Make sure to post some pics of your ring for us! Rick skyout

What about a Turks Head or Woven Ring Knot tied in leather cord? You could just tuck the ends in with a drop of glue. I've seen them out of gold and/or silver wire. There are some excellent TH tutorials and more TH jewelery by Loren here as well. http://www.golden-knots.com/index.html I've also seen them out of thin Venetian Blind cord with matching braclet. http://www.khww.net/photogallery.php?photo_id=1660 and again here: http://www.khww.net/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=305&highlight=daughter%26%2339%3Bs+birthday&pid=6365#post_6365 Woven Ring Knot tutorial is here: http://khww.net/articles.php?article_id=5 Rick skyout

Awesome work Bevan.

I'm with JohnD, check out this thread by jerryrwm where he redid his Grandfather's knife handle with roo. Awesome! http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=22759 Rick skyout

Here's a couple of links to dragonflies. http://leatherworker...t=0entry55331 http://leatherworker...t=0entry25644 I remember seeing a bird recently but I think it had a knife going thru it (back side of a motorcycle seat???) but couldn't find it. Here are 2 I found using the search function. http://leatherworker...=0entry142793 http://leatherworker...=0entry126037 I'm sure there are more in the gallery, but I found these from ClayB which I though were great! JMO http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?app=gallery&module=images&section=viewimage&img=6530 Hope these help. Rick skyout

Don't give up was the best advise from Brian I got when learning. If you can post some pics we may be able to help. There are just a few "rules" to follow and you will get there. If needed, just review them at Dan Alaska's site here: http://pineapple.myfunforum.org/index.php?c=20&sid=bc20b0dac63765dae586fefb002e1a0f For inspiration, check this BLUE WHALE of a pineapple knot out. LOL http://www.khww.net/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=692&rowstart=0

This PK is tied especially hard and tight (it's like a rock) w/5/32" cord on a 3/4" wood ball. It is a 12p X 12b, 2 pass, Type 1 with a 7p X 6b TH for the base. The base has a 3/16" hole at the star that is 1/4" from the core to the outside edge of the blue line. I have not been able to get the hole any smaller than this???

Yup, there may be a tiny hole there but it's not as big as a pencil lead. Sorry for the bad pic. Maybe this will be a little better. Here are two PKs with the 5px4b TH.

Really cool seveneves. Looking forward to the pics! So how many parts did you use on the base TH?
