DEMO 2: Leather Edge Round Braid (1 thong 4 pass)

[@joniduncan6428]

Mr John Zhu, THANK YOU!! I've been searching the internet for the past couple weeks looking for a tutorial so that I can add a braided edge on one of my purses & I have yet to find one yet that explained how to do it so that I could understand it, until I found this tutorial. You explained & demonstrated it perfectly! TY SO MUCH!

[@josephlai9759]

Thank you for taking the extra mile making this wooden jig to show the weaving with clarity. Appreciated.

[@Hawk74]

Fantastic demonstration. The exaggerated display piece, and a black line to denote the underside it's probably the best demonstration I've ever seen of leather stitching

[@markolson7877]

Late to the party, but very appreciative!! Demo was top notch!! Applause !!!

[@SDChick]

This was really clear and straightforward. I’m glad you used a big lacing pony instead of fumbling around with something small. I look forward to trying it on my next project.

[@johnzzhu]

Thanks. Hope it goes well for you.

[@Oldgringo47]

This is the most comprehensive video on lacing. Thank you.

[@johnzzhu]

You're welcome.

[@INDIOIRLANDES]

beautiful.. i cant find a video so clear... and explained

[@johnsharpe501]

So many youtube videos are produced by people who may be excellent craftsman but fail miserably at teaching and filming. This is a rare exception. I thank you much and will probably use this braid that I might not have considered because of its apparent difficulty. You made it easy.

[@johnzzhu]

Thanks John. It's always my goal to get people to enjoy working with their hands again.

[@texasgigi3684]

Great job you are a good teacher. If you made a horizontal cut through the center of all the holes and hinged it, you could slide your braiding off, when you were done! I don’t know what that would look like-just a thought. Good job!!!

[@johnzzhu]

Thanks. glad it could be of help. I think it would be interesting, especially if the braid was a metal and you burn off the wood.

great, simple and informative.

[@johnzzhu]

Thank you Zulfiqar.

[@pstrickland5671]

Creative way to teach! thank you. How do you estimate the length of leather thong you need? I've heard 7 times the length? What would you suggest for this specific braid? Many thanks

[@jcrt1]

Where would I buy 1/8" WHITE calf lace?

[@myriamdiaz7329]

Thanks, very good video, I really understand how to do it

[@johnzzhu]

Myriam Diaz You're welcome, I am glad you found it useful.

[@juanramiroescobar]

Excellent demos. Great teacher, but I would love to watch all the other ones. I just found demos 2,4 and 6. How are the othera called to have a look to them? I am a follower from Colombia

[@johnzzhu]

Thanks. Presently, I don't have any plans to do more leather demos.

[@Snowbabyk]

Hey! I’m trying to figure out a way to use leather ropes or bind a sheet of metal 14x 18 with its metal rope trim border. Any ideas

[@johnzzhu]

hmmm, not sure what your describing.

[@KatyaKnightwolf]

How long roughly does the lace need to be? Like how many times the length of the project do you need?

[@johnzzhu]

About 4-6 the length depending most ly on thickness.
