Hello All, I've never been on the Old Ritualist's sub forum before. I recently stumbled across the following links containing some basic instructions on making Lestovki. Could anyone possibly translate these? Page 1 [ lestovka.com.ua] Page 2 [ lestovka.com.ua] Page 3 [ lestovka.com.ua] Page 4 [ lestovka.com.ua] Also, would any of you know of any other online sources on how to make Lestovki? Thanks a million. ICXC + NIKA, Phillip

Hmm, I do too - now. Very strange.

I've never been in Old Ritualist's community too... And never seen such instructions on making Lestovka. Interesting to know. Thank you that acquainted me. It's in Russian, I understand the texts, but it takes too much time to translate... Why do you need the translation?

Nataly, I'm looking for a translation because I'm hoping to make Lestovka. Lestovka are hard to come by here in the U.S., and I was hoping to provide a service by making and selling them. But first I have to learn how to make them. I've been making chotki for several years now. They have become quite popular.

Bob and Erie Byz,
I already have one of their Lestovki, but thanks for the link. Honestly I don't really think too much of their Lestovki. It just doesn't fit comfortably in my hand and the fingering between steps feels awkward to me. I'd like to start making them just so that there's another place in the U.S. to buy them from. Of course, I'm not going to sell them if I can't make what I believe to be a superior, or at least equivalent, product. For now I just want to see if I can even make one. That's really why I'd like the instructions translated.
Phillip

Hi Philip! I can. But I think you do not need translate all text.

Kostyantyn,
Welcome to the Forum! I'm always glad to see new members from our cherished neighbor to the North.
Many years,
Neil

A friend of mine on another forum was kind enough to make a translation of this for me. Hopefully soon I'll be able to start making Lestovki as well.

Nice! Will you make them for yourself or I can ask you to make one for me? Mine one is very old.
Actually I going to check fabric stores soon, may by I will get good leather to make it.
From my experience- You have buy twice or triple more material than you need. For bad tries.
Sorry about my English anywhere.

Kostyantyn,
Please feel free tp cpntribute as much and as often as you like and don't be concerned about your language skills - they're perfectly fine. Over time, you'll quickly notice that our membership is pretty geographically far-flung (every continent is represented - except Antarctica ;D ) and there are quite a few posters for whom English is not their first language.
Many years,
Neil

I hope to sell them one day in the future. For now I just make chotkis. I plan on acquire some felted wool fabric and experimenting with that. Then perhaps I'll be able to make some out of leather.

This material can be torn very easily. So. Take some imitation leather to try. The leather imitation can be punched through much better than any else fabric. Also it looks as leather. For example I have two Lestovkis(funny English-Russian mixed word) leather made one and imitation another. Natural one is much nicer, but second is good too. I had seen fabric-made lestovka only once. One lady who was keeper of old rituals had used it. That lestovka was made in different way. Also it was not very usefull lestovka and not completely done. It had no peredvizhniki.

Thanks, Kostyantyn! I'll have to give the imitation leather a try, if I can find some at a nearby shop. Then perhaps I'll attempt using leather. I'd like to make some attempts at this before the end of the year, but if I'm honest with myself I know it's going to be a bit longer than that. Still, if I can start making Lestovki with which I am satisfied, I may begin offering them for sale. But we'll have to wait and see what the future holds.

Faster! *snaps whip in Phillip's direction* Just Kidding. Still love the wood lestovka you made.
