Tutorials please

[Misty]

Hi, I'm really enjoying these new tutorials as they are so much easier to understand than all the diagrams etc you get in books and it's great to see the different methods used by all.
Can anyone post a tutorial step by step on traditional aylmeri? Does anyone still use them?

Traditional anklet or traditional 'fixed' jess Misty?

anklet. the ones where you don't join them with eyelet, the eyelet is further on for the jesse to go through and the anklet goes on a bit like the bewitt.
I think I have made a complete mess of explaining that but I think you may know what I mean:oops:

Misty,

I think i know what you mean. Which is actually some type of false aylmeri. The real traditional jesses do not have ANY eyelet on them. And are actually foolish to use still because you can not change slitted jesses for slittless ones. Unless you use the method of I believe Blackbird. With NO slits in the traditional jesses.

But what you mean is some mixture between traditional jesses and the aylmeri jess. There are numerous variations on jesses. And most mixture of traditional and aylmeri are called false jesses.

For my spars I use some kind of false aylmeri system. I will try to make kind of tutorial soon...but have to say it is not that much tutorial to write since if you got the pattern the rest is not that difficult..but will try to make some good one maybe this week...

I add some picture a scan of my pattern for some type of false aylmeri. Will make some pictures of them on the spars and then some tutorial or so maybe this week or so. The traditional jesses system is about the same but the jesses are longer and where the hole is (which is for aylmeri), there is the slit instead. But like i said, better not to use this traditional outdated jess system....

hi, thanks, but it is not the jesse that I am after, but the aylmeri. Instead of wrapping the leather around the leg and clamping together with eyelet tool, the leather is passed through itself and one end is longer than the other and that single end has an eyelet for putting in whichever jesse you need at the time. Does that make any more sense?

Yes it does. Like i said, and see picture above, that is still false aylmeri. Aylmeri is with the eyelet indeed through the small leather part. Then traditional jesses is without ANY eyelet. Any other type of jess is mostly called false aylmeri. There are many variants on that, but just coincidently I use exactly what you are telling here...this kind of jess with the traditional type of fixing at the leg. Then some short jess and eyelet through. And then some short jesses field or mews to get through the eyelet.
