Making another braided leather handle wrap with more explanation on how I braid these things

I am making a handle for a fireplace tool and decided that this would be a good opportunity to show this again with some minor variations. I spend a little more time explaining how to bind laces on and how to start braiding. I also show how I make leather collars that I tack on to the wooden core to add some bulk to the knots covering each end of the braid.

I am always working on building something and try to average a YouTube video once a week. Most often they are about leather work, but I have also posted videos on black smithing, knife making, casting, and even how I make soap. Be sure to Subscribe if you are interested in any of these topics, or just making things in general.
