Leather 4 Strand Braid Key Chain

[@johnboyd7158]

I went to a 2 hour class on braiding; got so frustrated that I walked out and never came back. 15 minutes here and I am confident that I can braid. Thank you!

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

[@sgtevmckay]

From start to termination. A solid, complete, and clear direction/explaination. Maybe one of the best quick tutorials for braid/plating I have ever seen. And it help fill in a couple of errors I have making. My thanks :D

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you so much for watching and for the great feedback!

[@christophergould3673]

Just like to say, I've just started making things in leather, and your channel is helping me so very much. Thank you. From England.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you so much, Christopher - so glad the videos are helpful!

[@christophergould3673]

Love the t/shirts if you have got a pair in XL would love to have it and advertise your fantastic shop and channel. Keep making these so it can help me and hundreds of others.

[@GreatJim54]

Chuck I love that your videos are up forever. Great teaching tools. Question - in a 4 strand braid, how much length is lost? If you start with 12 inch strands how long will the braid be? I want to make a lanyard that will easily slip on and off the neck.

[@FudgedDiceRoll]

Clear and concise -- That is why I look forward to each of your videos.Thank you for all of the time you take to pass on tips, tricks, and knowledge bits, Chuck. God Bless. :)

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you, Omar!

[@CantrellLeatherGoods]

I’ve always wanted to get into the braiding part of leatherworking. I am going to save this video to help me out. I’m thinking... horse leads... dog leashes.... ah, the possibilities are endless!! 😉 I also NEED that lace cutter! Thank you, as always, for making a great tutorial.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

All of these sound perfect for a braid accent, also we see what you did there!! :) We have lace cutters available at www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/65-2966/leather-lace-stripper/pr_8728/cp_/shop-now/hand-tools/hand-stitching-lacing/lace-cutters if you are interested!

I've already made loads of these, but couldn't resist watching the tutorial, great video!

[@D.J.M.47]

This is cool. I like to make a turks head at the beginning and the end of my braids. Gives them a Neat look. You just gave me some awesome ideas with my vegtan leather. I love the cutting blade a need to get.

[@alanrouse8301]

Very interesting! That will give me something to while away my "spare" time. Looks easy!! might be when I have done a few. THANKS!

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Yes, enjoy trying these out! You are welcome!

Hi. Have you got something a bit more simple using round leather from a craft shop. Would like to make a couple of leather keychains for my surgeons.

[@51watty]

Uplifting and educational.

Where did the 7mm beads come from? Don’t see a link to those and wasn’t mentioned in video I don’t think. Thanks for making these videos so easy to follow!

[@jacobheard3807]

As always awesome teaching But I am curious as to why your watch didn’t have a leather band ?🤔

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you Jacob! Stay tuned, this could change! :)

[@FUBAR956]

How do you calculate length of lace if I want to make a longer lanyard for something like a lanyard for a knife if a biker wallet? And how would you finish off a braid with a swivel clip on both ends?

[@kellyhayes]

I was wondering the same thing, I would like a clip on mine instead of the O ring

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Hello Nathan. It depends on the thickness and the stretch of the leather or lace but we haven’t actually measured it. It would probably be around about an inch per foot. Hope this helps! Good luck!

[@IowaForLife]

Great if you can see though the hands

[@12lesflo]

Beautiful work!

[@nagwahamad7317]

Perfect

[@rogerauclair1670]

Fantastic work however I would have loved to see closeups of your other braids on your counter and the ones on your briefcase.

[@TheOlegLviv]

can you teach the same but with 6 strand?

[@johnboyd7158]

New subscriber. Excellent video. Looking forward to learning a lot more.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Thank you so much and welcome, John!

[@roberthuth7493]

Gute Arbeit,prima Video

[@jimathey6153]

Hi Chuck, Sheep works just as well.✝️⚾🙃

[@grimtt]

Great! Thanks! So the white glue works to lightly bond the leather to the metal or plastic bead?

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Yes, that's correct!

[@crazy12angel]

I tryed so many time until my leather turn all fuzy. I must accept i cant do that. But is so beaultfull!

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

You can always try again! Thank you for watching!

[@christopherperrote7780]

You can totally do it! Don't give up, I promise that with enough effort, it WILL "just click" for you, and you'll be off and running. Starting the braid is far and away the most difficult part of the process. I reccomend finishing with either a back braided loop, or a wall and crown knot.

[@TelecoTechs]

thank you so much it is very helpfull

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

You are welcome! Thank you for watching our videos!

[@christinawarren2983]

May I ask, is the same braid used for bolo ties?

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Hi Christina, Yes, this would be the same type of braid!

[@eddinsmore]

Very nice and looks easy. Does Weaver sell the Beads?

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Yes, we do! Here is a link to them on our website... www.weaverleathersupply.com/products/decorative-beads-metal-beads?_pos=1&_sid=e0c6637af&_ss=r

@@WeaverLeatherSupply - Chuck mentions 7mm hole - I dont see that size listed?

[@bobm8128]

I looked on the Weaver web site but couldn't find the 7 mm beads, could you list the stock number? Thx

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Hi Bob, Unfortunately, at this time we do not carry the beads but they can be found on most craft stores or on Amazon. We are looking at adding some beads, just narrowing down the sizes and designs at this point!

[@raycliftdesign]

I know the comment I made on the last video didn't inspire this video. (As it was 24 hours ago) But I can dream XD Thank you Very Much for the tips!

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

You are so welcome. We are glad that you enjoyed this video!

[@KatiFalk1]

I ordered that lace machine, it came with NO blades so how are you supposed to use it. Also no way o=to order blades and it looks like you could really hurt/cut yourself if you did have blades trying to install them, also no instructions on how to do that. tell me how to return it as I asked for blades and have been waiting for a couple months for customer service tos end something.

[@siddharthyadav4286]

wher do i get the machine to cut the braids

Where are you getting the beads with a 7 mm hole? I’m searching Amazon but no luck so far.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Hi there, I found these on Amazon and now I can't find them anywhere! We are adding beads to our line, they will be available in 3.5 mm to 6 mm and we'll be sure to mention it when we have them in stock.

[@shadoe1769]

Where do you find your beads? I've been to many craft stores and looked online, but must of what I find are 4mm or smaller holes.

[@WeaverLeatherSupply]

Hi Mark, I found these on Amazon. We are going to start carrying beads eventually - we are in the testing part of the process now! 👍

[@mikeglovasky3857]

Where can you get the beads you are using?
