Thanks, yeah I guess that is probably my best bet

Hi All, I am considering ordering some Horween horse strips to make a razor strop with. They give the option of "hard rolled" or "soft rolled" but don't provide a description. Does anyone have any insight as to which would work better for strop making? Thank you.

I apologize, I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how to delete my duplicate posts. Thanks for cleaning it up for me

Hi everyone, I’m looking for the “Leather manuals” from The Leather Connection by Francis Burdett-Mills, specifically book 4. I would just buy it off the website but the gentleman has passed away and the links no longer work and they are not for sale anywhere else. if anyone has a copy of book 4, either .pdf or hard copy, I would gladly give you some money for it. Thank you. -Sam

Hello everyone, Would someone mind giving me a hand with this Landis Model 30 splitter blade set up? It is giving me fits. I just got the blade back from the sharpener and can't remember exactly how to reinstall it. I have a couple specific questions. 1) Do I have the blade stops installed correctly on the bottom roller? 2) Do I have the blade facing the correct direction? Do I need to flip it over? 3) Is the idea to raise the bottom roller up to close the gap between the blade and the roller? Or lower the bottom roller down to close the gap? 4) How far forward does the blade sit in relation to the blade stops? I have raised and lowered the bottom rollers a bunch of times and can't seem to get the 1/16th recommended gap. It is either way too big (about 1/8" and everything slides under) or I end up having the blade just resting on the bottom roller which isn't good either. I must be missing something. For context, in a perfect world I would set this machine up to split English Bridle from about 2.5mm down to about 0.8-1mm. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
