Members lonerider Posted January 18, 2012 Members Report Posted January 18, 2012 I was going to bite my tongue, but you asked. Your basket weave is at the wrong angle on the holster. You did it correct on the belt and that looks good. Aaron Who made you the judge of what angle basket weaving is to be done??? What if it's done horizontally or vertically? It's up to who is doing it! Where does it say what angle it has to be? Quote

It's up to who is doing it! Where does it say what angle it has to be? Interesting retaliatory statement. If you search my early posts, I made a lot of mistakes too. I am indebted to those who pointed them out. To answer your questions: Who made you the judge of what angle basket weaving is to be done??? No one. If you meant to say, Who taught you". My answer would be, Jim Linnell and Chan Geer. What if it's done horizontally or vertically? Baskets are woven with the spokes going primarily up and the reeds going primarily sideways. So if you are inferring that the spokes should go sideways and the reeds should go up, I can not address that. Basket weaving has been around far longer than I have, and there seems to be a very consistent pattern to it. I simply accept the fact that there is a common way to do it. It's up to who is doing it! Not a question, but Yes! It is always up to the person doing things. A framer can put the studs in the wall of your house straight up or to the side. It would defiantly be up to him. Many would feel that he did it "wrong" if they were leaning to the side. He could then say, "it is up to who is doing it!". Where does it say what angle it has to be? If you look through the Leather Crafters Journal Chan has written a few articles explaining basket weaving. Quote
Members lonerider Posted January 18, 2012 Members Report Posted January 18, 2012 Don't see how you can compare Basket weaving to building a house! One is decoration the other is building something! Quote
electrathon Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 Don't see how you can compare Basket weaving to building a house! One is decoration the other is building something! Baskets are woven with reeds and spokes, in a similar manor to how a structure is framed. Baskets are not decoration, they are items built for a use. Basket weaving in leathercraft is an emulation of baskets that are woven in real life. I am done here. I apologize to steelhawk for this being in your thread. Lonerider, I removed my critique from your thread, no need to posture. Quote

Lonerider - your posts in this thread seem like nothing more than TROLLING. In the first post, the OP says comments and critiques are welcome. Well....there's been some. If you have differing critiques, please include them. If you have a dispute with another member, please handle that through PMs or the 'Report' button, but please don't hijack a thread to pick a fight.
