I just wanted to show you my rawhide tool. the cutter was made by a friend like the tool my helpful teacher rob uses. the skiver is from an old shoemakers tool and works great. the blade is 2 inches and the riffled metall roller let the string roll up perfectly. the second picture is the complete shoemakers machine. the bottom knife is to cut very big saddle leather. the last picture is the cutter how i used him before...

Thanks Brian!!! should i do a 10 bight instead of an 8 bight to cover the knot with a 3 pass? but i still wanna know the pattern of a 3 or 4 pass when i turn in the middle ;-) do anybody have a tipp for me to make the 10 bight better hold on top? a 6 bight has a good contact to the edge of the rounded heel but my 10 bight does not...

i have a problem to cover the whole heel knot on bosal. i´m a beginner in braiding and know how to do a 2,3 or 4 pass pineapple. my problem is making a 3 pass, the middle of the knot is not covered and it is to tight on top so i can´t do it 4 pass. now i got the information, there is no need to go to the top or to begin on bottom. if i start my 4 pass and wanna turn to bottom after i passed the middle... what is the splitting pattern? hope it´s understandable- sorry for my english... the pattern for a 3 pass from bottom to top is: first pass 2 at top and under 6 at bottom. There after under 3 at top and under 5 at bottom... and a 4 pass is: first pass 2 at top and under 6 at bottom. There after under 3 at top and under 7 at bottom my heel knot is a 8 bight and i wanna change direction after over 4, under 4, over 4...

Hi, this is Michael from Germany, I´m a Rookie in braiding rawhide and i wanna thank you all guys for sharing the knowledge, thousands of tipps and beeing so helpful... I will learn to make bosals and this are my first trys. they are not finished and i braided to wet so it does not cover the core. next time i will do it better but the second hide i put in hot water (for dehairing) and it failed totally... next week i get a third hide from my butcher and i will use sodium sulfide... Thanks a lot to Rob!!!

Mike, you are right, i worked on the knot a few hours yesterday and now i got it. its just the same as it is on the 6 bight... the key is -to make no mistakes!! ;-) i used a differend color for the second string and so it was easyer for me to follow in the right order...

Hi Mike, thanks for your Post, what i do not understand is, that with the 6 bight i go O2,U2,O2...up to finish with O3,U3,O3... when i have an 6 bight and wanna do the 3pass, i can not go O2,U2,O2, because there are a few strings left? how is the pattern and do i have to cross U3x and U5x on the ends???

Hi Rob,
