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?

Bruce Grant says to "Use an extra long thong and work carefully." That is advice from the Sage himself.

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