Other Resources
« on: November 27, 2009, 11:47:55 AM »
I am starting to get into making myself some lanyards.  It is fun and has been addicting.  I was wondering if there are any other resources, like books, websites or videos, that can help me learn some different knots?  I want to make some leads and leashes for my dogs and stuff like that.  I have read back on alot of the older posts here on the forum, and found lots of useful info. 

Thanks,
Rob

My wife says Al's information is the most in-depth step by step she found though.

None of the books we bought were worth a hoot.

You may also be interested in Grog's animated knots.  I learned all of my different trotlining knots on there.

What you might have better luck searching for is horse tack.   They do a ton of braiding and you should find a lot of info there.
