rawhider Report post Posted March 11, 2009 Finished up another one. I'm pretty proud of this one as it's the first one I've done with a single string noseband. I cheated a little bit and drew grid lines on the foundation, but it's all one continuous string. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rawhider Report post Posted March 11, 2009 Ha! I wish I was blessed enough to cowboy and braid on the side! I live in upstate NY right now, so riding jobs are a little scarce... I shoe horses and braid. Make enough money shoeing that I can support my braiding habit! I grew up in MT around this kind of stuff, and as a teen I kind of latched onto it and ran with it. Been braiding since I was about 17 (I'm 24 now). I would love to have my own place someday where I can start some horses and raise some cows and braid... Mabe one day. Rawhide1, I used nearly 60' of string. It was quite a job keeping it all moist enough to braid, but it came out good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rgerbitz Report post Posted March 12, 2009 Very nice, I hope to one day be able to put a nose button on that doesn't twist. You make some nice looking gear. Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rawhider Report post Posted March 12, 2009 Very nice, I hope to one day be able to put a nose button on that doesn't twist. You make some nice looking gear.Rob I used Alans idea and drew grid marks on the foundation, then used them to keep my knot straight. It worked really well, I actually braided two knots on that bosal, but the first looked twisted and was a little too packed, so I took it apart and cut a little narrower string, drew grid lines, and that helped keep all the spots where the strings cross straight. Yuo can also count out the crosses from the middle to the ends to make sure you have it even. Thanks Alan! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
