Phatdaddy Posted March 11, 2012 Report Posted March 11, 2012 Some of you may have seen this already as I had posted in the How do I do that for some lacing help. Anyway, I decided to go with my instincts, I'm sure there's a better way but it turned out well. Thanks for looking. Kevin Quote

LMAO, had me for a moment. Thank you, Kevin Score another one for the Phatdaddy! That's a keeper! Sweet! Bill Thanks a ton Bill I've been fighting the "winter blues", haven't had the energy to get out of my own way in the evenings after my regular days work. The weather is starting to turn around now and I've been more inspired. Thank you all for the great comments. Kevin Quote
Members beng Posted March 14, 2012 Members Report Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Nice work Kevin...a very interesting piece. Was that lacing tough to do? Is there something online that I can look at that shows how to do it? Or can you explain it? It looks nicer than "Double Loop Lacing" but for all I know might be the same. Oh, what did you use for the lacing and did you like it? It looks better than the stuff in the Tandy kits.

The lacing is just double loop/cordovan, and the lace is the "new superior calf lace" in 1/8th from Tandy on the spool. This is the exact instructions that I used the first time i tried this lacing. http://www.tandyleatherfactory.ca/en-cad/home/infoandservices/Leathercraft-ABC/Leathercraft-ABC-pg3/Leathercraft-ABC-pg3.aspx?countryid=998 Thanks a ton, Kevin Quote
