    This darn thing has a use. Just not sure what it is yet. I'm gonna try it again and see if I can figure out how I got there. Tom

    I aint got the slightest idea how I ended up with this. But I'll figure it out. Been reading the Ron Edwards book. A really great book. Got it at the libarary. This thing started out as being just 2, 4 strand braids to use as a core for a handle on a handbag I'm playing with. But one thing led to another and this is what I have. Not too sure how I got there. Tom

    I got it done. Didnt put any kind of finish on the interior just left it natural. I kinda like it that way. Might do more the same way. I know I'm going to do another Celtic project because it really was great practice,that and I love redheaded women. Or maybe I'll work my way through the alphabet just doing letters.

    It's actually an old cigar box I got from the guy at the hardware store. It had a sliding lid so I just made a little half round thingy on top then cut it open and glued it to the sliding lid. A place to put my needles and sutff. I made some little leather hinges and "Viola" a sewing box. Tom

    I decided to go with the blue. As I am not fond of metalic colors I left the knot natural. I think the interior will be natural too. Tom

    Celtic design's will sure give you the practice workout with your beveler. But It was fun. The picture I have shows it with a red background. I'm thinking green or blue. Still haven't decided what kind of background to use yet. Use to be I only had one background tool so thats what I went with. Life is tough all over. Tom

    I've did the knife handle and gun rack thing. Thinking about using one of them for the handle of a whip. I've got a 8' core for one started. Waiting on some hemp twine to come in before I can finish it. I thank you for the input. Tom

    OK, I'll try this again. Not having much luck trying to insert this darn link. But it's too good to pass up. Tom http://search.msn.com/images/results.aspx?...414142b706e47a9

    I found a pretty good site that has alot celtic designs. Many black and white that would be good carving patterns. But alas I dont know how to post it for you guys. Tom

    I'm gonna leave the barrel on the mold when I stain it so it wont deform when it gets wet again. I made the form out of 1 by 4's glued into a square then got out the block plane and wood files. Now I think this one will make a much nicer pencil holder for the ladies at the Library. Tom

    Great tutorial. Thank you. I tried it out and thanks to your pics it was much easier for me. Is there a formula or a rule of thumb for the length of lace you need to acheive a given length for the finished braid? Tom

    First off my photography sucks. I've been working on this for some time now. I kept wandering off track. I still have to put a lining in it. Didnt do before cause I didnt think I wanted it. Live and learn. Tom

    Thanks to Drac It still has a long way to go but I think I have the idea of how it works. Tom Thanks Drac.

    Nice work. I like all of it. That gun belt looks like it has seen a battle or two. I should have mine done in a few days. Been taking my time and enjoying the process. I didn't make mine with the cut out for the holster to hang from. I used the style John Wayne wore in all his movies. Tom
