builderofstuff Report post Posted July 30, 2010 So I've been really happy with the performance of my lace thinning and beveling tool and that got me to wondering if I could do something similar to cut the lace in the first place instead of using my Tandy lace cutter. Now, I'm pretty happy with the Tandy lace cutter, but the size range is a bit limited. So I whipped up a quick prototype using some clear acrylic and another one of the 608 rollerblade bearings. This one is in a fixed position, but I'm thinking about integrating this into my other lace making tool design so that it's adjustable for cutting different widths of lace.

Yeah I'm one of those people that just can't leave well enough alone. hahaha I've already gone back and added this feature into my lace making tool design, the next version I make will be able to do it all, cut the lace, thin the lace, and bevel the lace.

alb Report post Posted August 1, 2010 I see you're in Missouri. You might want to take a few to the swap/sale night at the IFOLG show in St. Louis in October. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm about 2 1/2 hours from St. Louis. I almost ordered up enough material to make up 7 of them yesterday, but I didn't for fear that no one would want to buy one and then I'd be stuck with them. I mean there's only so many lace making tools a guy needs. hahaha Chris Edited August 1, 2010 by builderofstuff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
