Members rgerbitz Posted October 30, 2008 Members Report Posted October 30, 2008 Cool idea, I won't be showing my wife this, don't think that I want it showing up on the honey-do list. Good work! Rob Quote http://gerbitzquarterhorses.com/
kalliergo Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 Very nice, indeed. And I'm sure it was a real pain to do while sitting in the car. Some of our local rich folks would probably pay a lot to have that done to their Porsches and Maseratis. If ya get here before all their money disappears. Quote
Ambassador abn Posted October 30, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted October 30, 2008 Yeah, I think all of us have done projects we'll never try again -- mine was a large, tooled tote bag. I calculated the number of times I struck a stamp, and I think it ended up being around 22,000 times. I'm sticking with small projects from now on! BTW, nice work on that braiding... Bet that steering wheel feels nice! Regards, -Alex Quote
Members roo4u Posted November 1, 2008 Members Report Posted November 1, 2008 (edited) that looks awesome!!! how many strands is it? been thinking about doing mine...only i was gonna do it as a braid over core cause my steering wheel is worn all the way around....then use the shelac on it like the aussie whipbraiders do, to seal it good.

Members rawhide1 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Members Report Posted November 2, 2008 I want to Thank everyone for their comments. I'm glad everybody liked it. It feels great to drive with and it really doesn't affect how the steering wheel free turns ya just have to open your hand a little more. roo4u I used eight strands that were nine feet by a 1/8inch wide. That knot has eight bights with a gaucho interweave. So I'm not real sure how many strands that would be. Maybe someone out there knows. Mike Quote
Members rgerbitz Posted November 2, 2008 Members Report Posted November 2, 2008 I have troubles figuring out how many strands those knots are to. If I am right, and there is a good chance I'm not, 8 bight equals 16 strand and with the interweave it would raise it to 24 strands. I think.... Anyone have a better answer?

Members rawhide1 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Members Report Posted November 2, 2008 Rob I've been thinking on this and I think it may be 32. Ya make your sprial going down(8)then ya make your bights and come up over/under(8)and then make your bights and come down building pairs(8)and then ya come from both ends splitting pairs(8)which equals 32 I think? I may be as wrong as the is long but thats my take on it. Let me know if I'm wrong. Mike Quote
