yaklady Posted May 5, 2008 Report Posted May 5, 2008 (edited) Okay, Jo, I'll do that. Does that mean I'll have to do a better job than I did on this last newsletter? In the meantime, I'll get a newsletter sent off to you. Kathy Edited May 5, 2008 by yaklady Quote All bad yaks make their way to the freezer.

Members indypbear Posted May 13, 2008 Members Report Posted May 13, 2008 By now everyone has noticed that you don't cut a 1 1/2 inch strap for a 1 1/2 inch buckle. It won't fit. Straps have to be cut an RCH smaller than the buckle. If you have used a strap cutter before, you have also noticed that the measurements on the arm don't mean much compared to the actual size strap you are about to cut. Here's what to do: Get a few pieces of scrap and some buckles, and make a short strap to fit each size buckle. Write the magic number on the backs with a Sharpie, punch a hole through them and tie them together. The next time you need to cut a 1 1/4 inch strap for a belt, simply slide your 1 1/4 template scrap strap into the strap cutter, and tighten the screw. No guesswork or measuring involved, just cut your strap. If you make a lot of belts, the few minutes invested making this cheat pays off. Johanna Johanna, That's a great tip. Collect them and make a book like Tips & Hints by Joe McGuire. OK back to the RCH and BCH. What do the letters mean? I know when you give me the answer I'll slap my forehead. I'm already shrugging my shoulders. Tha'ts why us pollocks have slumped shoulders and flat foreheads-uck-uck-uck. Just go ahead and make my day-duh. John Quote
