HallisChalmers Report post Posted June 8, 2009 Hi folks. I'm a total noob to leathercrafting and there is so much to learn. I was wondering what video (DVD, YouTube, etc) or text source would you recommend for someone that is just starting out - for braiding? Specifically, I'm interested in learning how to braid coverings for tool handles such a whips, blackjacks, etc. Any recommendations or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hilly Report post Posted June 8, 2009 There's a great DVD you can get called "Decorative Knotting & Braiding in Leather" by Marlinspikes Knot Works. I got my copy from hitchingpostsupply.com It's very easy to understand, and will get you started in braiding. Good luck, and have fun! Hilly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Johanna Report post Posted June 8, 2009 Get the book by Bruce Grant called "The Encyclopedia of Rawhide and Leather Braiding". It's worth it. Johanna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
