Ann McGrath Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ann McGrath Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildrose Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
