Members Torquewrench Posted July 8, 2008 Members Report Posted July 8, 2008 Great looking planner. I really like your lacing, the way you punched the slits close togther. I have never acheived this look, you have motovated me to try again. Ross Quote
Members Rawhide Posted July 9, 2008 Author Members Report Posted July 9, 2008 Thanks for the compliments. It's not a mexican braid, it's a simple double loop (double cordovan) lacing. Ross, the way you get them close together is using a 7 spi wheel spacer for 1/8" lace and an 8 spi wheel spacer for 3/32" lace. you have to punch each hole individually with either a sharp single blade chisel, or a pair of nippers. This method is shown in Al Stohlman's book on Leathercraft Tools. I really like the look of no gaps between laces, it looks more professional. It's a real difference maker when your work is lying next to another person's work. Marlon Quote
