2009.07.20: I accidentally exceeded my bandwidth... but if you scroll down to Post #7, you can see the photos kindly hosted by F-N-S.

--

I've been working on my display of Hudson's armor gradually over the course of several months. A while back, it occurred to me that board members might like a tutorial in tying the "Japanese sacred knot" that can be seen in Hudson's eagle bolo, so I prepared the following instructions.

My guess is that it may be easier to tie the knot by following the photos and ignoring the text... but I've included the text anyway, just in case the photos aren't clear.

I hope this will be useful to some of you!

Thanks, Pilot! :thumbsup

Thanks, man.

Glad you were able to pick up one of the correct bolos. Now you can tie it Hudson-style, too. :love

D'oh!

Bandwidth exceeded. :confused

I deleted a bunch of other images from the hosting site, but the total bandwidth used hasn't updated.

According to an automated e-mail I received, "Your images cannot be viewed until your bandwidth usage is reset at the beginning of the next month of your membership."

I guess the images won't display again until the beginning of August?

Sorry! :cry
