Braid/Weave a Pouch?
Feb 7

, 2006 at 11:18am
Has anyone ever braided or weaved a pouch before? I am interested in knowing how to do this. I have already made pouches out of different materials and have incoporated them into slings using the information from this article:
http://www.slinging.org/13.html 
; . Personally I'd love to "make" my own pouch instead of using some other material to get the job done.
If anyone has braided/weaved a pouch or know where to get the information regarding such a task, please let me know
Thanks

The info you are looking for is already on the site, I have collected info on slingmaking once, some time back.
Here is a link to the thread with all the links.
http://www.slinging.org/forum2/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=1;action=display;num=11347532...
The first one in the first post is on wovenslings. For the rest I do not remember anymore, just look and have fun.

I'm still waiting for someone to make up some
Knit Slings
. A bit slow going, but very nice when they are done. Actually, these don't really take longer than all but the simplest braids, and the pouch shape is close to perfect.
The one with the "i-cord" retention/release cords was my all time favourite sling until I lost it last summer. I really need to make a replacement.

Yeppers, I have already made one sling using that method. I like it bit I feel that it will probably wear very quickly so I am looking for something else.

Thanks for the link, I just went through all of them and I basically found out what I need to learn, so I am gonna go and read read and then read some more.
My last sling was a plastic bag sling with 3 different parts for the pouch instead of the (i am guessing) traditional 2. My next one, i am goin to start with 12 strings, which when doubled(after the loop) and then using the 4 round plait will come out to 6 seperate parts for the pouch. We'll see.
Wish me luck

Very next moment my friend from next door gets back ill get his camera to get a pic up
It really isnt that good... it is very complicated design(atleast for me) and I definately am not very proud of it. I took it out slinging only once and since it was made from very thin strains of masking tape, one string broke in the net(definately not a good choice for my type of not very smooth ammo). Oh well
pic is coming soon, hopefully by tomorrow night
this is the reason im reading up on weaving the entire pouch or something very close to it
