Members lilpep Posted April 23, 2010 Members Report Posted April 23, 2010 MEGABIT nice very nice !!!! like i said before i really like the way you keep the post updated. the long buttons at the ends look very good. if you want to do something a little diferent for the small knots just do a gaucho from a base 5x4 three passes should be good enough to cover the ring knots and if ts too small you can do it in a 7x6. well great job and keep the pictures comming.

Members megabit Posted April 23, 2010 Author Members Report Posted April 23, 2010 Hmmm maybe I'll try playing with expanding the ginfer to over 4 vs 3. Anyone ever do that? How did it work out? Quote
Members Alan Bell Posted April 24, 2010 Members Report Posted April 24, 2010 Wow Mike, you are doing a great job on these! Seems you can teach an ol' dog new tricks!! Just kidding! I might need to get you to make me a set soon! Vaya con Dios, Alan Quote

I might need to get you to make me a set soon! Vaya con Dios, Alan Thanks Alan it has sure been a long haul to get where I actually like what I am putting out. Hell as long as this set is taking me you might have to wait a LONG time for me to get to a set. Robin wants a pair that are shorter for EXCA and roping, most of her's are real long for the reining / reined cow horse pen. She wants some more practical. Quote
Members megabit Posted April 26, 2010 Author Members Report Posted April 26, 2010 Another progress picture. 12 buttons done, 3 long buttons and 12 more small left to go. Ohh and connectors, popper buttons and the sliding buttons. Quote
Members megabit Posted May 4, 2010 Author Members Report Posted May 4, 2010 Progress is way slow but I am getting close now. This has been a monster of a project. I fairly happy with my buttons but I wish I could get them to match a little closer. Quote
Members lilpep Posted May 5, 2010 Members Report Posted May 5, 2010 well Megabit let me tell you that this is looking great !!!!! i particularly think your buttons look good. as far as making them look more like "twins" i should tell you that what helps me is making the ground work even it pretty much takes me more time to figure out what size is good than actually tying the buttons. . but liek i said before these look really good i think and like allways the progress pics are great. take care and keep it going Quote
