I've been building rods for years, but have never attempted a "weave". I've seen several of Doc Ski's videos and it's amazing to see what the man can do with thread. My question is concerning computer software and if it is worth purchasing. One is the "Pic 2 Weave" and I'm sure there are others. My main computer is an HP with windows 10. Any suggestions? Are the programs easy to follow or does it take an engineer to figure it out? Thanks in advance. tmbain@sbcglobal.net Benton, Ar "NEVER GIVE UP" Re: Weaves

just buy a copy of Billy Verona" s book on weaving and you have all the info you will ever need aside from the looms.
It will be the best 50 bucks you ever spent The best day to be alive is always tomorrow !! Think out side the box when all else fails !!! Wi. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/12/2018 07:08PM by Matthew Paul. Re: Weaves

Best Book on weaving to buy is by Jim Upton 'A Guide To Thread Weaving For The Custom Rod Builder'. I don't use weaving software programmes, but i know '@#$%&' is brillant as im sure 'Visual weave' is too. Jersey, Channel Islands. (U.K.) Re: Weaves

Dave pioneered weaving software. HIs program is highly recommended. He will also be appearing at the upcoming Expo in February.
[threadcentral.net] Jim's book is the bible on thread weaving. ............. Re: Weaves

Ok I’m confused. Are we talking weaving or decorative wraps here. Thread went both ways. Freddwhy (Rapt-Ryte) Re: Weaves

Fred. I was referring to weaves, not butt wraps. I really appreciate the feedback from everyone. I'll definitely be purchasing the book by Jim Upton, 'A Guide To Thread Weaving For The Custom Rod Builder'. I've already got it in my "wish list". Thank you Steve for the suggestion. tmbain@sbcglobal.net Benton, Ar "NEVER GIVE UP" Re: Weaves
