My New Favorite Toy

[leatheroo]

I have been using my new favorite toy, thanks to the generosity of our member Bevan (http://www.bwrwhips.com/) It is a lace cutter and beveler. I have tried to bevel lace the manual way but always ended up with the lace cut or my fingers cut...BUT NO MORE!!!! This wonderful gadget does it perfectly every time and with such little effort I havent used the cutting part yet as i still have quite a good supply of precut roo, but i have been using the beveling bit. I always wondered if it was worth beveling lace but i think it does give a much better finish. I am currently lacing a seat and will post a pic when i am finished. The cutter/beveler is available from bevans website. The photo shows 4.7mm roo and the beveled shavings.

Thanks again bevan

Why do you bevel lacing? I don't know anything about this process. You say it makes a nicer finish? This must be for lace you are making yourself?

Benlilly, the underside of the lace is beveled, so the outer edge of the lace is thinner and will sit much better when braided. It doesnt have to be only for lace that you cut yourself...the lace in the photo is bought lace that i beveled the edges.

cheers
