Thanks to you all for taking the time.
With as many methods as there are makers, I thought I would share my latest binding tensioner and holding clamp. Of course this could change but good for now.
Here is my artificial sinew on the same holder I use to hold paracord spools. By running it sinew through an old catalog and placing a couple of weights on it, I can easily adjust the tension when binding.
A small parallel clamp with a cleat screwed to it and a small vise found in a yard sale for hold a project while plaiting.
