Try searching pfaff 26-55 dln8 , as far as pictures either resize or take a screenshot.

So I decided to try the 6 strand lanyard that starts on page 107 of David Morgans book fine leather braiding. Tried the braided yoke , the wear leather seems to wide , or I am going from 3 strand to 6 strand completely wrong? Can't seem to get the back tight here either ? I think I got the second traiston right but not sure about that either.

Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving to all

Thanks and hate those power losses.

Got ya , don't normally fold cash before I put cash in my wallet.

Yup just saw it ,

Nice work

Welcome kinda new here myself. Would love to see some pictures of your knifes and sheaths

I like the looks of it , have to agree with the others on the stitching . Just made for cards? I don't see a cash pocket?

So picked up some granger lace , and worked through a lanyard. Not sure if I want to leave the drop as is or do something else(not sure what). Thinking I should used 1/8" and went for a 6 or 8 strand. And started in the middle. Used 1/4" 2strands halfed , I left the loop I started on and braided around it at the yoke(? )tapering it out. Need to find a knot that will look decent at the yoke in 1/4" (thinking I will have better results with 1/8") Happy with the overall results definitely learned a few things. Any advice on drop or yoke knot ?

I have alot of round cord I use for Christmas Ornaments that I turn. So don't feel bad if I screw up tying and not super hard to undo.

Thanks , @BantOZ I think I am understanding you , cut ends short and tuck after tightening. Trying to learn some of the different knots.

Thank you Roo , I think I got it , now how do you finish off? Just trim the ends or tuck somewhere?

Hi, any pictures of you knifes ? Do you do Damascus?

Might need to get wife approved ,but could you make something similar to a loft from your ceiling? Or make something similar to a vertical lumber rack? Depending how big pieces are a roll out under your bed. Storing in your shed sounds like a bad idea.

Thank you will give it a shot again with this beside me

In the book leather braiding by bruce grant , pages 102, 103 , plate 51 sliding knot or 5part 2 bight turks head. I get to step 3 and can't figure out steps 4 and 5.I don't fair well with learning from a book. I have searched the net and can't find anything is there another name for this knot ? Or a clearer explanation?

I sign my name and date my work if there is somewhere to put it, on the other hand someone orders something and doesn't want it signed no big deal. My grandfather was a wood carver, about a year ago my uncle saw a Christmas ornament laying in a parking lot, he was only 80% sure it was my grandfathers work , until he picked it up and had my grandfathers signature on it. If he would have not signed it deep down we may have know it was his work but could not have proved it.

CA is short for Cyanoacrylate , or super glue, there a few companies that make it with different properties for turners, mainly used as a finish on pens.

Nice

Thats why I haven't seen that kit , don't shop that site often , I'll see if exotic has it , need to order a bunch of kits anyways. CA can make a mess just finishing, lol

I don't give a reorder discount unless the are a frequent buyer, if they are buying a group of items at the same time or order a group of items I may knock a few dollars off.

Sweet stopper nice work, Which pen kit is that? I have tried to cast some leather blanks a couple times, did not fair well, lol Are you on any of the pen/blank groups? I don't recall seeing your name.

Heres a smaller mock up of the neck loop and start of drop, Having difficulty with termination knots.
