Making Mystery Braid Bracelet Blanks - Video

Recommended Posts

I was terribly pleased with myself for figuring out how to do captioning on the YouTube video I made of my hands cutting a mystery braid bracelet blank.

What do you think?

*bows, grinning*

You're very welcome!

If you have a sharp blade in your strap cutter, have the strap cutter width set correctly for your current strips, and have the strap cutter firmly clamped (notice I have a piece of scrap leather protecting the wood from the jaws of the vise) it IS easy. *grin* When you first try the jig, it may take a few tries to get one right. A little practice, and Voila! the mystery braid blanks are going zip, zip, zip!

Great video!

Thank you very much!

Thanks, Kate. I'll admit that I thought it was pretty clever, too. AFTER I discovered it worked the way I thought it would. Then I had to ask myself why it took me so long to try it out.

I've been singing Ann's praises since she showed me how to do this. It is soooooo much easier than dragging a knife down the leather strip.

What a great idea I'd never thought of using my trusty strap cutter like that......just need a vice now :(

Thank you for sharing. The video is excellent too :)
