I'm 38.and just started with leather as a past time.. you explain things great.. thanks
I'm rebuilding a very used trophy saddle right now, and can't believe my luck hitting on Don's great teaching ! the Gods are smiling on me. I'm also lucky enough to have a great saddle maker nearby, here in Southern Alberta.
I love this stitch. Beautiful work..very well taught. I can’t wait to use it one of my projects.. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for putting these tutorials out. This is by far the best tutorial for this braid and I know it is going to help a lot of people.
Thank you so much for the time invested and the excellent content of all your vids. Man what I wouldn't give to spend a week or two in your shop.... a man could learn a lot.
Thank you so much. I've watched a dozen videos on this braid, and you make it so simple.
Thank you Don. Just finished my first diamond braid. It came out really nice. Your instructions are right in the mark 😊
I am never going to make a saddle, but this was awesome !
My mom bought me a leather saddle rifle scabbard in Mexico. I want to learn this wipe! Thanks!
Fabulous!!!!!! Always wanted to see how this is done!!!!
not gonna lie, I did have a solid chuckle at "You don't have to be a master-braider" in the intro.
I can and have done this many times. But I CANNOT explain or teach it like you did here. Nice job.
Not sure why it pisses me off so much to see people giving your videos thumbs down..You are so friendly charismatic and very very talented .Your tutorials have given me and I am sure countless others such valuable tips/skills and really helped me to produce leather goods that are good enough to sell.I am wheelchair bound so I would not be able to do other kinds of work due to my physical challenges.And I have to say I truly enjoy doing leather crafting..I guess I want to say thank you but I also want to say F#$@ you to whom ever is giving you thumbs down ....The internet deserves a Noble Peace Prize because it has made it possible for you and many others to share your skills with the world bettering the lives of people like me ....but that said it also has produced shitty people ...I guess it brings out the best and the worst!
anyway...Happy Thanksgiving !
Thank you very much for this share.
Thank You!!! Awesome!! I have never laced and this really taught me a lot
Excellent work and faultless filming. Many thanks.
great video. i cant wait to try this on some projects. thank you
Thank you! I love these how to videos, you do a great job teaching!
Haven't you heard of Duct Tape???🤪😂 When I was younger I could look at something like this and then replicate it. Now after several back surgeries and pounds of narcotic pain killers it takes forever to get my motor skills to learn something new like this. My short term memory is shot. Small air cooled engines as well as small outboard motors are still second nature. It will take me several times watching this to learn it. I do thank you for making these videos. I've learned a lot from them.
I have to use similar medications due to spinal Spondylosis and Stenosis. I also have nuerological degeneration. However, after learning and practicing several types of leather lacing patterns, I seem to do well. I believe that after more repetition, you should be able to do this well. It is important to stay as active as possible and keep challenging your mind to learn new things. We should not expect to do nothing but exist. We should continue living our life to the fullest, the best way we can! I encourage you to move forward and don't believe everything anyone tells you. Our ALTITUDES are determined by our ATITUDES!
My Doctor will grab my hands and flip them over to look at the inner side. He's looking to see if they're still rough and calloused. He will smile but warns me not to push it too hard. I know some day I will not be able to walk , I do all I can today. And the days that I can't is a TV day.
@@coburnlowman I totally understand. It's good to know someone else out there has the same strong interests, but has the same struggles. I've been working on purses and having a tough time at it lately.
Thanks so much for these awesome tutorials! I was wondering if you would ever do one on welting the swells. I have struggled with this and would really appreciate a tutorial on how to properly welt!
I had no idea how those were done on saddles - they looked so complicated - But you made it look easy - I learned how my saddle was braided now! Thanks for sharing!
I gave you a thumbs up just because you use the term Master braider.
Master Braider.
I almost lost it!
I thought the same. How many takes?
I just love that lace, i just making second hat with same style and there is in order 3rd hat all so.
Good to know, I've recently aquired an old saddle (hobby project) that is pretty well beat up and this is one of the areas that needs replaced.👍👍👍 Thanks.
@Mel Hawk well that depends lol.
The tree is broken, but it's been nice to have something I'm not worried about messing up so I work on it in my spare time here and there and to be honest I haven't worked on it for months now but if I get a chance I like to tinker a bit with it.
I love love this video! I use it so often!
Самый толковый мастер-класс по шнуровке из всех, что я видел!
love watching your work. great quality handmade American goods. very inspiring. many thanks from up in Tulsa.
so satisfying to see the braiding and result wish i could do it ♿️
super, Don Goanzalez, thanks, you are the best
You are a great teacher!
I enjoy your work sir thank for your tips. Would like to see some of your finished saddles.
Thanks Don, you explained it well...good tutorial.
Looks beautiful, and makes sense. Thanks for the instruction.
I have seen this so many times and no One I knew that work leather could explain it. Appreciate it.
Thank you Don!
Well done, thank you for that excellent tutorial.
Great explanation :)
Nice work, Don. Maybe an oblong hole would prevent some of the lace from rolling back in and needing to be tickled back flat.
Great job Sir! Heck, even I can do that now! 😉
l was doing a wrap around a Viking ax l made and accidentally made this knot.
My brother said it looked great and wanted me to show him how and l had to confess l had no idea how l did it. l just fooled around until something looked good.
Thank You again, Don. G-G
I am new to leather work but I'm going to leave all the braiding up to everybody else cuz my mom told me when I was young that too much Masterbraiding will make you go blind
Hi Don congratulations for sharing the video it personally helped me.
But I have a question.
The distance between hole and hole?
Very best lace for braids is kangaroo leather ❣️ 10 times stronger than cow leather
Thank you for this brother, question, how much lace per length of area being laced? I.e. hand stitching is 4x the thread, there or there abouts, for the area being stitched.
I’m actually not sure... I always just cut my strips side length so that I have plenty... the excess is usually perfect for lacing on billets or just for reins and headstalls.
Muito top esse trabalho
Exelete👍👍👍
pretty.
start from the rear part of the saddle
Can you use this same braid for a cup sleeve?
Thank you very much for posting this video. I have been looking for this for months. I am new to saddle repair and am wondering what is the name of the tool you used to pull the sinew up through the hole at 4:00 min. Thanks again.
I have a question,
If i were to use this braiding as a decorative/joining method in a corcet, would it work?
I wouldn’t see why not...
I would have named it the pinecone pattern.
What type of glue are you using? Just watched the stirrup recover video and you coated it then submerged it in water? Curious what glue your using?
What angle did you bevel the lace at on your beveler - I know you said to feather edge, and it looks like your blade was maybe around 30 degrees... but angle targets on angle videos, etc... are you trying for a 'V' at the end of this or more like a \_/ with some full 4 oz channel in the middle of the lace? I saw you go back and knock some of the middle down after beveling, I guess I'm trying to understand what the lace profile you're going for looks like?
don. in the other pics around y0ur videotape skirts have been stitched together then the double braid is done and covers the stitches.. I don't know what the white thread is but it seems to have a baseball stitch. why do you not use this step.
Saludos👍👍👍
Could you do this around a handle? Say for an
axe or walking staff?
Master braider. Lol 😂
How you make holes on straight line like that ?
A master braider?
unmitigatedaudacity you picked that one up too, huh! Haha
Hahahah Master Braider
🤔 How would this braid look on my daughter though?
How much lace I need?
Im definitely masterbraider. Lol
I can't get any volume to hear what you say.
