brock Report post Posted January 20, 2010 Has anyone used leather belting for a core of hackamore? Its going to be 1/2 in 16 plait latigo and i've never heard of any made like that. Ive heard of peop using soft nylon rope for a core but wanted to know if they will shape and function correct? I always use some type of rawhide either twisted or braided. any help would be appreciated!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brock Report post Posted February 1, 2010 Here is where I'm at with the floppy hackamore. I decided to go with a stiff nylon rope for a core (will let ya'll know if it shapes rite)! Anyway just thought I would post some pics of progress It is 12 plait 3/16 wide body strings and nose button is 8 bight with 3/32 wide strings im going to try to make a pretty fancy nose button on here! Or atleast fancy for me Ill post pics of progress! That is why im using the wrapping method rather than the braided for foundation! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brock Report post Posted February 12, 2010 http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb229/brockadams/rawhide/P2050543.jpg[/img]this is the foundation finished just have to add my color im going to use rawhide to contrast and so it has a little feel to it. Just playing around to try some diff things on this one!! this is the nosebutton it got a twist in it I rember why I quit using that spiral method because it always twist on one end with me! I still have some more work finishing it but that is where I am with it just thought i would put up some pics. Maybe some of you guys can give me some pointers to do a better job on next one!
