mikesmith648 Report post Posted May 14, 2012 Wondering if anyone can help me learn to braid motorcycle levers like the Iron Braid? I am really tring to figure it out but having trouble and a tutorial would be appreciated. Will only be making things for friends and not for sale.

KnotHead Report post Posted May 14, 2012 From the appearance of some others that I googled. It would appear that most are done with a wide cut lace and then braided with a standard round braid of either 4 strands, and 6 and even up to 8 strands. I think that the tie offs could be covered with a turks head to give it a more completed finish. Now as for a tutorial on round braids with a core, there are several on the net if one were to google it. Hope that this helps a bit. Brian... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KatRides Report post Posted June 14, 2012 My question also being a newbie who wants to figure this and some other things out... what thickness is best and what is the best type of leather to use??? this is confusing me far more than the braiding itself... sigh Thanks for any suggestions, Kat From the appearance of some others that I googled.
