Members Tina Posted July 24, 2009 Author Members Report Posted July 24, 2009 Hey Sis!!That is outstanding and great looking tube. You know I love tubes!!! I can't take credit for the braid, it was ShirleyZ who described this simplified mexican roundbraid in a post and I started to use it because to gives just a good cover as the real roundbraid and I wanted some variation from it (the handles for my fishingrod tubes). That type of mauls scares me. They look beautiful but uncomfortable to me. Why is the head rounded, anyone?? I like a thin handle so I can swing it easily between my index finger and thumb. Good to hear you're wrapping things up and coming home, it's been oh so lonely here;-) Love your container!!! Tom Hi lil'bro and manny Thanks:-) I guess sinse your braid at that type was the first I time for me, it's always going to be "your braid" to me:-) Yeah, it's getting closer and the more I see the customs papers, the gazillions of boxes and such...Man this is no fun. Remind me to never ever try moving to another contry again *LOL* About the mauls...You just have to try them. For some reason it's easier to hit the maul on a tool right than with the mallet. I now visually it don't make any sense:-) Hi Tina,nice as always !!! I hope I can dye as good as you some day. I will test out the hints you gave me on my next cue case. Can´t wait to see the "First piece back in Sweden" !!! Wish you all the best. Cheers, Marcel Thank you Marcel:-) By the time I can unpack and use my beloved tools again it might take manny, manny months...I might be a rocky again? *LOL* I just hope the dye hints will work for you...What I love is that dyes will let the natural leather shines through (veins and all), acryllic paint will never let that happend.

Ed the"BearMan" Hi Ed:-) I'm just soooo happy with these mauls, they work great for me:-) I'll unpack and start again as soon as I get a place I can use. I guess that during that time and now I can make up patterns:-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer. He who works with his hands, and his head is a craftsman.

Members Tina Posted July 24, 2009 Author Members Report Posted July 24, 2009 Dont forget about us when you hop over the pond and have a safe trip. Naw...Never!!! The world is just to small these days, t's easy to keep in touch:-) Glad you like it. I have to say, this is one of the biggest items I have made.......And one of the quickest???? I guess the assembly is the fasted one I've made, very straight forward. I think I'm going to be the "tube woman" in the future Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

TomSwede Posted July 26, 2009 Report Posted July 26, 2009 Hey Tom... do happen to have a link to that post? I'm working on a case that could use that kind of braid. The post where Shirley describes this braid assumes that you allready know how to make the mexican roundbraid so if you don't know that it won't be much of help to you. This is where I learned the mexican roundbraid: http://www.btinternet.com/~kingsmerecrafts/page100.html Every time the lacin needle comes out from a hole you just skip the going under lace part and take the needle directly into next hole. The start is the hardest part and corners is something I still struggle a bit with. Rounded corners looks best ans is easier to do.
