Thanks for the advice. I will loosen up those fingers a bit. I bought the lace and needles from Buy fastpitch gloves. Shipping was pretty fast for the USPS.Spiral looks nice, the fingers look a little strangled, I know they'll loosen up but the leather looks a little stressed to me. I personally never let the fingertips touch each other, but that's just me. Where'd you buy the lace?
Getting the lace situated in the hole at the start of the spiral ( pinky side ) where the web lace was already there was a little tough but not difficult. It took me about 2 hours maybe 2 and 1/2. Taking my time, cleaning the thing (it was dirty), taking lots of pictures at each step and drinking an adult beverage or 4. Toughest part I think was getting that old crusty lace out.You have any problem on each end of the spiral where you had to double loop the lace into one hole?
That’s where a small pair of needle nose pliers and a small 90 degree hook tool really come in handy. Or do like me and just cut the old lace in between the fingers to pull out small pieces.Toughest part I think was getting that old crusty lace out.
Once I saw how it routes through the first finger I started cutting away. I watched a couple of videos on how the spiral should be done at each end. The web laces came out fairly easily.That’s where a small pair of needle nose pliers and a small 90 degree hook tool really come in handy.

But in your case I understand wanting to follow every piece and how they overlap.
