Fid Work!

[KnotHead]

Here in my shop I had the pleasure of a visitor. lilpep decided he wanted to do a project in the shop and share it with you all. I am proud that all this fine work was done right here in my shop. lilpep deserves all the credit behind this work. The only thing I did was provide the materials and some tools and off he went like a racing horse.

Not a complete view of the fid itself. This is a complete view of the handle.

Me and Jorge both hope you all really like the hard work that went into making this project.

Best regards,

Brian & Jorge...

thanks ya'll but Brian is the mastermind behind this it was his idea. he gave me a dowel and a piece of goat rawhide so i carved it out and shaped it with my dremmel later i cut some lace and got started. he made me do it !! thanks for posting it also. it is a handle for a fid with "fidwork" on it. take care.

some specs. 18 1/8" wide laces. not to manny but it worked.

Hey guys,

I have really wanted to learn this Argentine style of handle coverings, but have yet to find anywhere that it is explained. Im very curious as to how you change directions and patterns with the same strings.

Thanks,

Calvin

Very nice. I have been trying also to learn the Argentine style but have not been able to find much on the subject. Anyone know where to find it?

Thanks for posting.

Do love this sort of braiding especially those rings you included - they are not easy but the look they give is well worth it.

good job - wish I was near enough to do some work with knothead.
