Members Leatherpownder Posted September 4, 2011 Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 Thanks Hellfire, Good to know I'm not all by myself here. I'll give it a shot. I would bet your hide is to wet. It should have about the same consistancy as firm latigo leather. Also make sure ya don't scrimp on fresh razor blades for a good clean edge. Can also email or pm and I'll tell what I know even if it's not much. Bret.
Members barbiesdude Posted September 4, 2011 Author Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 Thanks for the response WinterBear, It's the thought that counts. Jamie Holiday weekend, they might be out of town? I'd help, but what I know about braiding rawhide you could stuff in a gnat's ear and still have room.
Members barbiesdude Posted September 4, 2011 Author Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 Your probably right Bret. I tried some more stuff after my first post. Moving my razor blade up or down for a fresh spot, and that helped some. When I had the temper more firm it seemed like it was cutting hard, but when I wet it and stuck it back in the humidor for a little while it would seem "mushy" when i took it back out to cut? It's like Goldie Locks, there seems to be this magic temper where it is " just right ". Thanks a bunch for your input. Anything else you may think of will be greatly appreciated as well.

Members megabit Posted September 4, 2011 Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 No special little clicks on here, but I think the ones who declined to respond because they weren't on your list thought you were making a click. I don't know. As for your problem, I frequently have the opposite problem and move away from that guide and get a thin spot. Biggest cure I think is practice practice practice. Are you having this problem is it cutting from disk or from rough cut string? I have more trouble with cutting the disk. Temper plays big part too and too wet I think would cause what you describe before too dry.
Members rawhide1 Posted September 4, 2011 Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 Hellfire jack It seems you like to start trouble as I've seen you being a ass in another post. You think my panties are in a wad then you can go pound sand!!!!!!!! When somebody asks for help and then specifies he wants answers from certain people. You can bet I wont add my two cents. I have always helped in anyway I can and will continue to do so for those that want it. It seems you and the OP want to keep beating a dead horse. If that's the case then by all means go back to lurking. Mike Southern The guy asked legit questions and asked for help from anyone and showed deference and respect to three people whose brains he obviously wanted to pick. You guys effectively shot that down. Wow.. Just wow. It's all I can say. You're serious not going to allow him to have his own favorite posters? It appears leather panties get twisted much worse than the cotton ones. Wow, you guys are REALLY sensitive if you're all being serious here. If I didn't know better I'd assume you three were trolling for a flame war on a new guy out of spite for not naming you in his post. Seriously, that's not a joke. That's what it looks like. If I were a mod I would delete your guys' posts for purposely dragging the guys thread off topic.
Members rawhide1 Posted September 4, 2011 Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 barbie Why do you keep after it. As far as I know nobody has ever been shot down or been made to feel embarrassed for asking a question. Instead of just saying hey I didn't mean it that way. You have to start talking trash about special clubs and other nonsense. If somebody stays in the shadows then that's on them. As far as I'm concerned if your gonna stir up trouble then by all means go back to lurking. Mike Southern I actually had a few other names in my head that I was hoping would respond, ( dare I name them at the risk of offending more? ) But didn't feel it neccesary to write them down for times sake. I could have my questions answered with a phone call, but I have really enjoyed this forum and " ALL!!!!!!!!!" of it's contributors, so I thought I would try to "join in". I wasn't aware that even inside the forum there was a " members only special club" where if you didn't do the right things or word everything just so so, you were on the outs. On second thought, I won't go back to " lurking" because I KNOW that there are alot of other people just like me on here that stay in the shadows and don't ask questions because they don't want to be emabarassed and slapped down like I was. As I get better maybe I can be of help to someone like I am sure everyone else on this forum has had some help to get where they are. Jamie
Members HellfireJack Posted September 4, 2011 Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 You can feel however you want about me rawhide1. I have no problem with it. I've never actually discussed anything with you so you can make any judgements you want about me. Feel free, I welcome it. If there's any other opinion you'd like to give by all means share it. To have an opinion on something and to share it doesn't make one a trouble maker. If it did you'd be the trouble maker right now. It just means we have opinions and we can give them. The poster is getting his questions answered now at least. That's moving forward. There's no dead horse here. Just people with questions and some good people helping out.
Members rawhide1 Posted September 4, 2011 Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 Hellfire Jack I don't feel one way or the other about you. It's funny I don't recall seeing you post in the braiding section before. So your first post I see isn't to help or ask a question but to make wise cracks and talk trash. I was done with this topic until you and barbie wanted to keep the negative talk going. I'm glad he's getting the help he was after by the good people. Mike
Members HellfireJack Posted September 4, 2011 Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 Rawhide1, if I had more experience in braiding and cutting lace I'd have answered him myself rest assured. You want me to post more in the braiding section? What the heck, I don't do a lot of braiding but I guess I can do more just for you. I don't want to have the same problem as the OP though so perhaps you can answer so I can do more braiding and ask more questions? The "negative talk" you refer to happened 3 hours before you even posted by the way. So you were apparently done with this discussion before you even started.
Members rawhide1 Posted September 4, 2011 Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 hellfire jack I don't have time to play this game with you. As I've said before and someone please correct me if I'm wrong. But I've always done my best to help anyone that needed it. So sir I'm done with you.
