Rottmaster Report post Posted October 20, 2011 Just wanted to let everyone know that I just ordered my new book Rawhide and Leather Braiding by Enrique Capone. He is a master braider from Argentina of 15 years experience if I'm not mistaken. This gentleman was gracious enough to share his knowledge of rawhide and leather braiding with us. And yes folks he was gracious enough to write it in English for us. His book is going for $37 .00 & $5.00 shipping and handling in total $42 .00. I myself consider this very affordable for the wealth of knowledge you will gain from his work. If anyone is interested in ordering this is what it contains: TABLE OF CONTENTS: CHAPTER 1 MATERIALS AND TOOLS Materials Tools CHAPTER 2 PREPARING THONGS Cutting Thongs Edging Thongs Thong Splitting CHAPTER 3 BRAIDED APPLIQUES5 Ladder Stitch Sewing Ornamentation of the Ladder Stitch Alternated Stitch with One Thong Chain Stitch Sewing Chain Stitch Sewing with One Row of Holes Ladder Stitch with Two Thongs Double Chain Stitch with Two Thongs 5 Thongs appliqué CHAPTER 4 BORDER BRAIDING Easy border stitch Border Braiding 1 to 7 Regular Starting for the 1 to 7 Braiding Compressed Starting of the 1 to 7 Braiding Compressed Finishing for the 1 to 7 Braided Border Endless 1 to 7 Braided Border Braided Border 1 to 5 CHAPTER 5 BRAIDS One thong braid Four Thongs Round Braid Five Thongs Braid Six Thongs Round Braid 8 Thongs - Square Braid 12 Thongs Round braid Patria Braids 59 Six thongs Patria Braid Twelve Thongs Patria braid Thirteen Thongs Patria Braid Connecting a braid with a ring CHAPTER 6 BUTTONS Simple Button Boina de Vasco Button (Checkered Button) False Buttons 68 Core for Sliding Buttons Braided False Button CHAPTER 7 BRAIDED KNOTS Basic Three Thongs One Turn Pasador Gaucho style or “Esterilla” Interweaving for the One Turn Pasador Under 2 Over 2 “Esterilla” Interweaving for a 9 thongs Pasador or 9 parts 8 bights Knot Under 3 Over 3 “Esterilla” Style interweaving for the 7 thongs Pasador o 7 parts 6 bights Knot Under 3 Over 3 “Esterilla” Style interweaving for the 9 thongs pasador o 9 parts 8 bights Knot1 Pluma (Feather) Interweaves U2 O2 Pluma Interweave at the right of the guide (Pineapple Knot) U3 O3 Pluma interweave Pluma Interweave at the left of the guide (Herringbone Knot) Variation Knots or Knots without foundation Variation Knot with Pattern Over 2 Under 2 Variation knots Under 3 Over 3 Variation Knot with borders Over 2 and center Over 3 Two turns Pasador Over 2 Under 2 Two Turns Variation Pasador Under 2, Over 4, Under 4 , Over 2 3 Turns Pasador Bomba Zurda First interweave for Bomba Zurda: Second Interweave for Bomba Zurda: Pluma interweave for Bomba Zurda First Pluma Interweave for Bomba Zurda: Checkered Interweave for the Bomba Zurda Tightening a Braided Knot CHAPTER 8 SPECIAL “BOMBAS” Bomba Carcelera Fish Scale “Bomba” Half bosal Bomba Jupiter Bomba Version 1 Jupiter Bomba Version 2 CHAPTER 9 COVERINGS Fid Work “Remates” Mondonguillo and Contranmondonguillo Mondonguillo Contranmondonguillo CHAPTER 10 GAUCHO STYLE KNIFE SHEATH if anyone is interested in ordering Rawhide and Leather Braiding by Enrique Capone, you can order it from his website WW W.leather – braiding.com if you do decide to order I'm sure you will not be disappointed.

Rottmaster Report post Posted October 21, 2011 Thanks for posting the new book. I've got a several already but I'll pull up the site and see if this one looks like something that I need to add to my collection. Thanks again. No problem, if I'm not mistaken from what I can understand in this new book he has put together his first two books and lots of extras altogether in this new book. I also have his first two books and I find them very informative. But this book he had the pictures professionally done and the binding professionally done. I think this might be the Argentine Book of Knots just kidding on that but that sounds like that would make a great name for a book, who knows he might name his next book that. Well one can wish, and one of my wishes was fulfilled I got his third book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
