Australian Strander

[Alan Bell]

I think those that are cutting leather excusively will have a different experience than those that cut rawhide since moisture content is not a factor. I have the strander (rt. index finger) and a draw guage and I use them to cut strip. I then use the Hansen cutter to make lace or strands with rawhide. Moisture content and sharpness are the keys. And Joe, you're using the wrong 'via' (by way of) the correct one is 'vaya' (go) as in....

It's your own concious that is there to remind you that its your heart and nobody elses that is gonna judge!

Thank you. My Spanish is pretty rusty. Not much use for it here in Central Montana.

I know it will work. I see it in my head, clearly. I just am not a manufacturer. I am an idea man.

I also know that I hate strap guages...alot. I will lay a steel ruler down and cut by hand to avoid that frustration.

i'm assuming the strap guage is the wooden tandy pull type with the razor blade.i've turn;d the guage blade around n made a pusher out of it ala plow guage type a li'l practise needed adios peter john
