Braiding A Slider For A Chin String


Recommended Posts

A Buddy of mine has asked me to make a wind string slider for him.  I showed him a three strand turk's head I'd done on another project.  Great says he.  Next he hands me a new roll of Tandy 1/4 inch latigo lace with a quick comment that the slider will take less than 72 inches of the latigo they say.  Ah the ever elusive "They".  I see no reason it can't be done with a minimal useage of the latigo, but I thought I'd throw it out here for thoughts.

So my question is, is there a formula that I could use to put in all of the quasi critical dimentions?

Many thanks Sir!  It's time to search my scrap leather and do a few "trial" runs.  Again Thanks!
