Rawhide Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
