Drac Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Posted January 25, 2008 cut the strand off as close as you can while still pulling it tight. use your fib (he lies! it's a FID!) to tuck the end just a little bit back under so it can't be seen and press down on the top of the strand so it's even with the others. really messes with peeps when they can't find the overlap and the end. make sure you do all the above bits quickly so the super glue doesn't dry before you get it done. now check the end and make sure everything's centered and even. voila! you be done, yo! at least with the end turkshead. to do the one for tails, you just follow all the steps above for the most part. one thing I've found that helps is to hold the tails instead of the handle, so you're making the loops around the handle. now then, love peace and chicken grease! I'm outee like 5! gonna get ghost! time to make a banana and leave! Quote frissenfrassenmussafrussen...
Contributing Member wolvenstien Posted January 25, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted January 25, 2008 Very thankful for this Drac.... Sorry I left you hanging last weekend... we finally got to the Convention center around 6pm due to traffic and all... then from there we went to Boomers in Marrietta... and stayed until 2:30 or so... didnt make it back home until around 5 in the morning...

Members Duke Posted January 26, 2008 Members Report Posted January 26, 2008 wowza! I started playing with braiding today, so I got a newfound respect for people that braid. much thanks to you for this very broken down, and illistated tutorial. this type of content is exactly what this website is all about. keep up the good work. of you get a chance or a wild hair, maybe another? hopefully you will inspire others to do tutorials on stuff that they do. this kind of stuff is what keeps the leathercraft alive and growing. good job!

Drac Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Posted January 26, 2008 duke alas, my knowledge doesn't go too far past what I've posted up due to the nature of what I was making for a living, but thanks for the kind words! I usually just do slight to extreme variations with me work. Quote frissenfrassenmussafrussen...
Members Duke Posted January 26, 2008 Members Report Posted January 26, 2008 well its appreciated none the less. I took the time to copy and paste your tutorial to my desktop so I can sit and play with it and see if I can make myself one during a slow time in tandy land.yes,I work at tandy. needless to say, I wish there was more people out there willing to pass on thier knowledge. yours has been a needed blessing. I am going to have a blast making this flogger. and if it goes together as decently as yours(or somewhat close) it will go on display at my store with a web address to this site.I cant get over how helpful this site has been to me. THANK YOU! Quote Duke When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me." ~Erma Bombeck
