Andrew Hamilton says:
Great series! Very clear instruction on the techniques involved.
I’m trying to learn to do this myself and I have some questions about the materials.
What diameter of marline should be used for 3/16″ to 1/4″ wire rope?
What is the weight of the leather you like to use, i.e. 5-6 oz. or 7-8 oz.?
What about the waxed twine for the baseball stitching- 3-ply, 5-ply? Or something else?

Well, I had missed Part 3 somehow, but just watched it and got those answers…Thanks again for this series!

Incredible! I couldn’t stop watching from part 1 through 8. Time flew. So well done. Myles is not only a true craftsman but a natural teacher with a great gift of gab.

I always wormed before parceling and serving. Don’t do that anymore?

Great series, very informative and helpful. Also makes those like me that don’t see the work behind craftsmanship like this appreciate it. Can’t wait for the rest of the videos, keep them coming!
Steve Branam says:
I can’t decide if this is spectacularly incredible or incredibly spectacular! Thank you so much for this!
