CharlieR Report post Posted August 19, 2007 Been watching the forum for a bit and thought I would introduce myself. I have been braiding in kangaroo and have done a few hatbands and bolos. I'm just beginning, but enjoy it. I live just north of San Antonio and continue to be impressed with the braiders I see around the cowboy collectible shows. Hopefully, would like to get into rawhide, but due to varying factors, guess I will just have to be content to learn on kangaroo. Glad to meet you folks--will try to post pics later.

SmilinJim Report post Posted August 26, 2007 Welcome Charlie, you will enjoy this site. Ask questions and someone will help. This is a great group of people. Come on post something. Wolvenstien, same problem wanted to learn 4 strand round braid for a specific project. Couldn't find what I needed so I went to the great provider, Walmart. Look in the crafts section and the vinyl lace packs for a couple of dollars. Has several types of braid, including 4 strand round. Also the Tandy book Braiding and Lacing for Fun, about 4 dollars. That was my intro. Sold a few projects then bought a few books. Also check out Beaverslayers tutorial on making lace. Keep on Smilin Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
