I like the looks of the tying and braiding that you did owlvamp. The link that was posted didn't work for me either. I tried looking it up and I think maybe I have a little bit better idea than I did have of how to do this from the last site I looked at. If anyone else come up with something else to help understand it any better please post it. Here is the one site that made more sense to me than any(none had a video):
