cutting Goat skin for lace - what tools?

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I'm struggling with finding a way to cut goat skin into flat lace - The skin I have is soft, approx 1-2 oz.  I've tried using the plastic rod style lace cutter with very limited results.  My goal is to make 1/8" +/- wide lace for sewing, etc.  I've done a lot of searching here and the interwebs for information but still coming up short for a solution.

I don't have the resources to get a Hanson type or other commercially made cutter, although I see the usefulness.  I'm a hobby maker and can't justify the cost there right now.

Is there a tool/jig/method for cutting soft leathers into lace - a DIY rig from hardware store parts?

My immediate solution is to just buy lace but the end goal is to make it myself or frustrate myself trying.

Thanks for your help,

Sprocket
