Members KnotHead Posted October 17, 2010 Author Members Report Posted October 17, 2010 G'day mate. Yep they are drum stuffed and they are Whiskey. I did do a small prep cut for lace tonight. Only about 9 or 10 yards at 1/2 inch wide. I think I will take that into about 1/4 inch to see how it does there also. But the cut was so nice. I have not beveled or split yet. But it will turn out nice for sure. They are just awsome hides for sure. I know where I'm gettin all my hides from, even if it does take a month to get here. Brian... Quote Best Regards, Brian Kidd
Members entiendo Posted October 17, 2010 Members Report Posted October 17, 2010 We must do it similar Here are my steps Quote
Members entiendo Posted October 17, 2010 Members Report Posted October 17, 2010 Sorry about 2 posts but I had to be sure the pictures weren't to big. Quote
Members KnotHead Posted October 17, 2010 Author Members Report Posted October 17, 2010 We do up to the part of the cutter. I have a cutter, but I use my Aussie Strander to cut the straps like you have there. I will have to try out my cutter then. Brian... Quote Best Regards, Brian Kidd
Members entiendo Posted October 17, 2010 Members Report Posted October 17, 2010 I can't use that Aussie Strander! Oh boy I messed up my first hide pretty good trying to work it. I think I "lost" my strander. As you can see I often cut my strips a little wider than the strander allows anyway. That hide was very large so I think the strips are pretty wide. Quote
Members CharlieR Posted October 17, 2010 Members Report Posted October 17, 2010 Brian--I went to the website and noticed the price was quoted in something like meters square and AUD. Since I'm from Texas, that's hard for me to compute.....could you give me an approximate cost in Texan-ese???lol. Charlie Quote
