Wow. How long did it take to make yours? Where did you learn how?
Well, I (unknowingly) got the wrong stuff for this one, but it still turned out okay. I just did a little here and there when I had time at work for four days. I'm estimating that it took me about 16 hours total; cutting, braiding, etc. I used an eleven foot piece that cost about fifty bucks.
I just picked up a few books. I also was a Boatswain's Mate in the Navy.
