[Leather Splitter Question]

I have only done a little braiding, and am starting as cheap as possible. One of Bruce Grant's books shows a guy using a wood plane, upside down. I bought a "antique" store plane for twelve dollars. It has a knob to adjust thickness. Took some work to get the blade real sharp, but it works for splitting lace. It takes a bit of attention to keep the lace feeding in evenly.
