Diy Edger Help

Recommended Posts

Is there another way to put a rounded edge on a strap besides an edger? I'm in the midst of a project and won't be able to get to a tool supplier for a week or so

I made my first edger up from a description in a Ron Edwards book.

4mm x 120mm heavy fencing wire, flattened on one end. Cut a groove lengthways with a dremal or hacksaw about half an inch up. Bend the wire up a bit. groove upwards. The use a triangular file to widen the mouth of the groove. Polish the bottom of the tool on a oil stone until it's nice and sharp.

Clear??

No probably not, I'll try and find it and take a picture.

Well couldn't find my old one so quickly made one up. Didn't have fencing wire so used a 2.5mm welding rod. With a little more work you wouldn't need to buy one. Just add a handle.
