I learned from two videos which are very good, Cam Clarks sold by Clemens and Doc Ski's which Clemens also sells. After viewing them, you'll be able to weave with no problem. Both use masking tape which is ok to start but using a weave loom greatly eases the job .Email me if you have any specific questions re weaving. Once you start, its addictive.

Doc's video is advertised in their journal, did you call them at 6103955119? Cam still works there I believe, he does the Rodcrafter journal. Try Mudhole Tackle listed at the left also.

I checked Mudhole and they have The Doc Ski video which is the best, pretty sure Clemens still has the Cam Clark video in their catalogue also which is very good for the beginning weaver, Doc now uses a loom instead of the tape in the video for holding the threads, email me at home for info on the loom

Another good Video to consider is by Artie Hebert called
"Decorative Rod Wrapping Volume 2: Weaves".

I learned from the Artie Herbert video and found it very easy to understand.
