DIY Sailmaking - Sailmakers/Roping Palm

Don't pay $90 for a piece of $6 leather and some stitching! For a nickel, $6 worth of Conceria Walpier Tuscany veg-tanned leather, thread and a little time, you can learn a valuable skill and make a superior roping palm. A few years back, I bought a $26 sailmakers palm that was overbuilt and of the lowest quality. This roping palm I made is built after a high quality mass-produced product with a proven history of effective design, as well as overpriced materials and craftsmanship.
