i have a questionfor all. i had alot of problems making turks head a while back and loooked and looked and loked some more on the internet and finally found goldenknots.com he is a jeweler who makes knotted rings and bracelets along wth other stuff but my point is he has great tutorial on how to tie THs "in hand" from a 5x4 and shows you how to increase the knots to make a 7x6 9x8 an the same principals i learned fromhim can be used to make larger knots. all of these are interweavable in both hearing bone and gaucho knots as well as pinneaples which are hering bones but with nested bits any way. i've been reading several posts on books in this forum and i havent read of any one mention TOM HALL . he has great books with unique buttons, terminal knots and has a great turks head book "introduction to turksheads" this is by far one of the best books y have ever baught. it is a must have if you want to make tack. "western tack tips" and more western tck tips" should be on anyones shelf if they want to make tack. between B. Grants and T. Halls' books i personally beleive nobdy could need any other book to learn how to make anythig fron bosals to reins.

let me clarify that i don't have gales books but i really dont feel the need becase i learned more than i can remember from the above mentioned books. this is just my two cents but for those that do have her books and love them more power to you. besides the books i mentioned cost half of what i've seen gales books sell for. i will say that only a couple of people carry T. halls books but i got them from Martin Combs (the nicest person i've ever met) and i'm deployed but he helped me ALOT he is a great source for R. Edwards books also.

I think that as Gail still charges for her books and makes money off the hard work that went in to making them, no offense, but you should pay for them like the rest of us. I think it completely defeats the purpose of others trying to teach and pass on the information they have spent an entire lifetime learning to just have it wasted when there is a lot of expense that goes into producing and publishing a small series of books such as this. If the problem is maybe in shipping, email Gail and she may have them in a downloadable form that you can pay her for.

Mike, I have both bosal books and i think they are very informative and a nice reference addition to a book collection. As far as you are along with braiding I think I would just buy the advance book on bosals.
