Members barbiesdude Posted September 3, 2011 Members Report Posted September 3, 2011 Hello, time to come out from the shadows and ask some questions. When I am cutting my strands I am having some trouble with the edge wanting to ride up on the finger of my Hansen string cutter making wide spots in my string. Is my temper wrong? To soft to hard? Will this go away as my technique gets better? Any tips would be appreciated, especially from Allen, Rob,or Kevin.
Members rawhide1 Posted September 3, 2011 Members Report Posted September 3, 2011 Well I guess I'll keep my opinion to myself then!

Members roo4u Posted September 3, 2011 Members Report Posted September 3, 2011 uhm....well if i was you i would not restrict myself to only wanting responses from certain people like that...there are many fine braiders on here and i think you just offended a couple of them...both of them could have easily answered your question, the guys you are looking to have answer your question visit here rarely these days.....good luck getting an answer.

Members barbiesdude Posted September 4, 2011 Author Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 Whoa!!! Are you kidding me? When I said "ANY" tips would be appreciated, I meant from "ANY" body! But I do have alot of respect for the people's work I mentioned and value their advice. That doesn't mean nobody else doesn't have anything to contribute or doesn't have good work. I did not mean to "offend" anyone, damage their ego, or hurt anybodies little feelings. If people are that sensitive around here, I'll keep my questions to myself and go back to " lurking". I made the mistake of thinking this forum was where people helped each other become better at their craft, not tell people how to "phrase" their own post. uhm....well if i was you i would not restrict myself to only wanting responses from certain people like that...there are many fine braiders on here and i think you just offended a couple of them...both of them could have easily answered your question, the guys you are looking to have answer your question visit here rarely these days.....good luck getting an answer.
Members roo4u Posted September 4, 2011 Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 dont go back to lurking....your post just read rather bad. it seemed like you only wanted advice from those 3 guys....when i read it i thought that and obviously the others did as well. go ahead and ask your questions just be aware that there are several other rawhide braiders on here that are willing and able to answer your questions. shelly is a top braider and rawhide1 is very good as well....also be aware that who will be online to answer questions will vary depending on peoples jobs etc. TRACY MONSTER FARM SPECIALTIES-custom tack for dog, horse and human
Members HellfireJack Posted September 4, 2011 Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 The guy asked legit questions and asked for help from anyone and showed deference and respect to three people whose brains he obviously wanted to pick. You guys effectively shot that down. Wow.. Just wow. It's all I can say. You're serious not going to allow him to have his own favorite posters? It appears leather panties get twisted much worse than the cotton ones. Wow, you guys are REALLY sensitive if you're all being serious here. If I didn't know better I'd assume you three were trolling for a flame war on a new guy out of spite for not naming you in his post. Seriously, that's not a joke. That's what it looks like. If I were a mod I would delete your guys' posts for purposely dragging the guys thread off topic.
Members barbiesdude Posted September 4, 2011 Author Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 I actually had a few other names in my head that I was hoping would respond, ( dare I name them at the risk of offending more? ) But didn't feel it neccesary to write them down for times sake. I could have my questions answered with a phone call, but I have really enjoyed this forum and " ALL!!!!!!!!!" of it's contributors, so I thought I would try to "join in". I wasn't aware that even inside the forum there was a " members only special club" where if you didn't do the right things or word everything just so so, you were on the outs. On second thought, I won't go back to " lurking" because I KNOW that there are alot of other people just like me on here that stay in the shadows and don't ask questions because they don't want to be emabarassed and slapped down like I was. As I get better maybe I can be of help to someone like I am sure everyone else on this forum has had some help to get where they are. Jamie dont go back to lurking....your post just read rather bad. it seemed like you only wanted advice from those 3 guys....when i read it i thought that and obviously the others did as well. go ahead and ask your questions just be aware that there are several other rawhide braiders on here that are willing and able to answer your questions. shelly is a top braider and rawhide1 is very good as well....also be aware that who will be online to answer questions will vary depending on peoples jobs etc.
Members WinterBear Posted September 4, 2011 Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 Holiday weekend, they might be out of town? I'd help, but what I know about braiding rawhide you could stuff in a gnat's ear and still have room. I used to be an Eagle, a good ol' Eagle too...
Members barbiesdude Posted September 4, 2011 Author Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 Thanks Hellfire, Good to know I'm not all by myself here.

Just wow. It's all I can say. You're serious not going to allow him to have his own favorite posters? It appears leather panties get twisted much worse than the cotton ones.
