TomSwede Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Posted September 16, 2008 Thanks, Tom! Alot of good tips there. Not sure I'd have figured out to punch the holes then eye up the alignment and mark for the top. (Well - not in the first week of me trying, maybe by new top number 10 or 12 :-) Do you think it would help when lacing the top to tie off in a few places to keep it from sliding? I need to put this holder on my list of things I want to try to make. Thanks!Crystal Thank you Crystal! I did actually for my first rod tube mark out the top first and then put down the holes on a scribed line to the cylindrical piece but that was alot harder. This method is very easy to me because you can easily lean the the tube so that the eye sees both the actual hole and the spot to mark up for the new one just make sure to not loose pressure so that lid slides out of position. You are gonna have to reposition fingers as you unless yo put it on desktop that so can walk around. I'd use tie offs if it was bigger but maybe for the first one they would be good to use for the first one perhaps especially if not used to do lacing. I've only used basketweave to do this type because I think the edges needs to be covered as much as possible. For typical double or triple loop braid one would really need to skive the edges 45 degrees to make it look good and that's a practice on my "to learn" list but I'm not sure those would look any good over an edge like this. They kinda ride on top of the edge and the edge here is at an angle so probably hard to get it even. very nice Tom thanks a lot. What Stolman award? Thanks Jbird!

Members Spider Posted September 16, 2008 Members Report Posted September 16, 2008 Tom, You are lucky we can not curse here or I'd express how much I appreciate this tutorial. I will get you on MySpace but make sure no kids read it. This is awesome though. Did a great job not only designing, producing, fixing and explaining your work. Great job!!!
