Learn one major technique for finishing off the ends of those thicker projects -- ropes, braids, leather and leather lace, by attaching end caps, cones or crimp ends in a way that you will also be able to attach a clasp. We are going to practice using strands of leather, leather lace and rattail, end caps/cones, and head pins. You will be introduced to the set of tools you will need to have on hand. We will discuss some things about adhesives, which are sometimes used but not all the time.
