Due to the need to find a more efficient and cost effective way to make straps and belts, I've gone ahead and ordered a Jerry's Stripper from Siegel's of California. Fortune had it that Siegels had them on Friday special at $23 , and extra blades (5 pack) $1.50.

I've decided to go with this rather than a draw gauge. Anyone have experience with a Jerry's Stripper?

I have one but haven't used it in quite awhile. When I did, it worked fine. I clamped it down and pulled deerskin into fringe with it. You can set up different spacings with it as well.

Saw one at tandy the other day to much for my pocketbook right now. They hadn't had any for a few months due to a supply problem, I was told if I did buy one to stock up on blades as they are hard to get sometimes. I think it was made to do mainly fringe but it looks like it would do straps also. I just use the wooden strap cutter they sell works ok for low volume work.

My wooden strap cutter works fine for veg tan and other stiff leather, but not so well for chrome tanned leather. Siegel's does have the blades for a fair price, and I've had good luck sharpening my box cutter blades, which look similar.

i'll keep you all posted.

Jordan: AC Moore stocks the exacto brand utility blades (utility knife blades, NOT the ones you use in the standard exacto-type knives) that are a lot cheaper than what everyone else sells them for. They are the EXACT same size as the ones that fit the jerry stripper (the other utility knife blades out there at hardware stores are all too big, as everyone who has a jerry stripper knows).

Also, sign up at www.acmoore.com & you'll get weekly coupons on email for use in their stores. Mostly, they are 40% off on any single non-sale item, but they often have 50% off coupons, too. It's a good deal, & I've also used the coupons to buy Tandy stuff that they have in stock, too.

Ed,

I have had very good luck with mine. Mostly used for cutting 1-1/2" belt blanks out of 8-9oz veg tan. I also use it for 1/2" strips used for welts in making some custom sheaths.

The key I found was to start with a straight edge and keep it aligned with the fence on the stripper.
