Members rgerbitz Posted December 20, 2007 Members Report Posted December 20, 2007 Hello everyone, My name is Rob Gerbitz and I live here in Tampico, Il. I have been working at learning how to work with rawhide for about 3 years now and my wife and I am are just getting into making chaps and chinks. I am very excited to have found this group. I have a lot of questions about braiding and leatherwork in general. I am looking forward to corresponding with anyone here who cares to. Thank you all for being here. Rob Gerbitz Quote

Members firefly67 Posted December 20, 2007 Members Report Posted December 20, 2007 (edited) Hey, Rob, Where is Tampico IL in relation to Champaign-Urbana? That's where I am. Would like to meet other leatherworkers & exchange questions/knowledge! Haven't done much braiding except a four-part braid I made w/artificial sinew & used to lace a pouch with. It took seemingly MILES of lacing!! I'm going to try & attach a photo of the lacing on another bag I just finished. Edited December 20, 2007 by firefly67 Quote
