OK guys, here's the big kahuna; the one that will keep you up at night. The Saxon braid.

The Saxon braided cable can be terrifying, but hopefully I can break it down into some easy ways of thinking. Basically, the Saxon cable is made up of 6 cables, all braided together. It's easy to think of the braid as a series of Xs.

You'll have a set of three Xs, then two Xs, then one X, then build back up to three Xs.

Does that help? :)

Really, it's not too awful and the braid looks awesome, so it's worth it! Good luck and remember to subscribe, like, comment, etc. if you found it helpful.

Shortcuts:
2:07 - your gameplan
8:11 - the first set of three Xs
12:50 - the second set of two Xs
25:04 - the one X in the middle
