Ann McGrath Posted September 12, 2010 Report Posted September 12, 2010 I was terribly pleased with myself for figuring out how to do captioning on the YouTube video I made of my hands cutting a mystery braid bracelet blank. What do you think? Quote
LNLeather Posted September 12, 2010 Report Posted September 12, 2010 Hi Ann Hey, You made it look so easy to make that mystery braid! Your video with captioning is just Great! Thank You for sharing this! You should Definitely be proud of your video! Quote

Ann McGrath Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Posted September 12, 2010 Hey, You made it look so easy to make that mystery braid! Your video with captioning is just Great! Thank You for sharing this! You should Definitely be proud of your video! *bows, grinning* You're very welcome! If you have a sharp blade in your strap cutter, have the strap cutter width set correctly for your current strips, and have the strap cutter firmly clamped (notice I have a piece of scrap leather protecting the wood from the jaws of the vise) it IS easy. *grin* When you first try the jig, it may take a few tries to get one right. A little practice, and Voila! the mystery braid blanks are going zip, zip, zip! Great video! Thank you very much! Quote
Members CitizenKate Posted September 12, 2010 Members Report Posted September 12, 2010 What do I think? I think that's pretty darn clever! Thanks for posting it, Ann. Kate Quote

I'll admit that I thought it was pretty clever, too. AFTER I discovered it worked the way I thought it would. Then I had to ask myself why it took me so long to try it out. Quote
Members wildrose Posted September 13, 2010 Members Report Posted September 13, 2010 I've been singing Ann's praises since she showed me how to do this. It is soooooo much easier than dragging a knife down the leather strip. Quote
Doc Reaper Posted February 22, 2013 Report Posted February 22, 2013 but what lengths do you make the blanks? Quote
Members Jax Posted February 22, 2013 Members Report Posted February 22, 2013 What a great idea I'd never thought of using my trusty strap cutter like that......just need a vice now Thank you for sharing. The video is excellent too Quote
