I saw an article years ago in Western Horseman - it suggested nailing
some finishing nails in a piece of plywood so you can wrap around them
thereby maintaining the proper distances between knots.  So I tried
that.  I gave up.  When I got done, I had a knotted mess, it
wasn't a halter, I was really REALLY PO'd, and buying one made much more
sense.  There was a place in the same issue that offered rope
halters made of nylon braided rope for $12 each.  I figured that the
advertiser was the one who put the article in the magazine.  They
got me as a customer!  Lif
