How to Tie a Leather Tassel Button

In this video I show you how I tie a braided tassel button in leather. We show you how to do this with both three and four strands. This is a great knot for use in headstalls, reins, purse straps and closures.

OLD LEATHER SMITH here. Yes U R right, Bruce's book is the best, have had mine 4 a long time. Nice job explaining it Don. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

Thank you so much for showing us how to do this. My dad (born in 1922) used to make these when I was a child and I've always wondered how he did it.

Bruce Grant is a total Master Braider!

LOVE this book and have used the 4 strand knot on many projects over the years. Great tutorial!

[@MistressJakki]

Love Bruce Grants book… it’s a must have for any shop.

Had book, lost it, buying it again. Done braiding. Great explanation, I need to buy or make my strap angle cutter. Making a purse here and now I have something to add to it. Thanks for this explanation.

[@markb3129]

Both look great!!! Braiding is a lot harder than it looks, and takes a lot of practice and patience.... ✌

[@irenenelson8652]

Perfect explanation

[@johndecker7127]

Another great video. I'm off to buy the book!

Very cool

[@timsanders4621]

Awesome.

[@snooterpoops]

That beveler is so cool! Never seen one like that.

[@kenhouse8683]

What kind is the beveler looks to have some history to it

[@dugmoran]

I'm with Leslie, where can I get one of those?

[@kevinorr6880]

Those knots are called crown and wall knots. A wall goes under, a crown goes to the top.

Aha! Bruce Grant's Monster Book of Monsters! Woo hoo!

Saludos👍👍👍

Great work as always DG. Can you provide the tool name and link for your benchtop lace cutter that you used for paring/beveling the edges?

[@ultimatehighlights1455]

You should do a video on making a pare of chaps another idea is make a leather TH-cam channel for kids that want to do leather

[@Ms_AP_]

Did you make your edge beveler? If so, do you have a video explaining how it is made? It looks very helpful!

[@jayblalock36]

I have a leatherman and a case trapper. I want to carry them both in one pancake style sheath. Any ideas

[@invictusbp1prop143]

Yeah no way in hell can I figure out wtf is happening and follow along to this. Just threw that piece of leather in the trash.

[@scamartist26]

Too many tools. To many rules.

[@karelbubenik3886]

a very confusing moment between 13:30 až 14:30.
the most important moment of the node, and you're gonna ruin it like this. The constant pulling and twisting of the knot in your hand is clumsy and diletant.
Too bad for the video

[@robertdubuque3868]

I do NOT recommend these. I have worked for a while on the kidney bean bag. It is beautiful. Until I got to these. After 2 whole nights, I considered throwing the bag in the trash and burning the pattern. When I do have one come out good, IT IS TOO BIG. Very frustrated. The bag is already cut out for them so what do I do but keep wasting leather and my patience. Very disappointed in these.
