Well thank you very much. I thought it was too. I keep a copy of it to keep me reminded of his wisdom and skill. He's a dang awesome braider.

Brian...

Hope Knothead posted what you needed 25b. That's a dang good video Knothead. Thanks!

Best Regards,

Yeah, I've seen Tim's videos and talked to him. He is a really nice fellow. I wish I had the time and money to go up there and try to learn as much as possible from him...watching him braid is mesmerizing. I do listen to what he's saying too though...I understand how to "raise" a knot from 5x4 to 7x6 to 9x8 and all...it is more difficult when trying to use the "special" knots to cover longer areas...i.e. the so-called "long cowboy knot"...have no idea how big an area it should cover.

I know he said to just make the foundation and build the knot to fit it...that is a lot easier said than done, so...

I guess I've pretty much given up on this. I think what I'm going to do is just measure the finished height of these knots (for each different width of lace I use) and then log it all in one of my knot logbooks...that way, I'll know how big to make the foundation before I try to build the knot over it.
