Hi.  I want to try this... is anyone from this original conversation still active? I'm looking for one that has 2mm - smaller than 1/8" slot.

thanks all.

Maybe you could try finding or making one of these. they were made for making shoe laces.

Another way that many people use is to cut square strips and then bevel the edges at 45 degrees.  Moisten the strip and roll them on  a flat surface with a smooth plank of wood or other  smooth rigid item.  Apply pressure as you roll back and forth and this will eventually make a round, although its more time consuming than using a rounder.

wow, kinda surprised how little information there is on the internet about this topic.  This thread is the only place I can find the topic is discussed.  I'm working on making a rein rounder to make the round leather straps.  Will update if anyone's interested.
