Sona Report post Posted June 15, 2014 On the first picture the edge looks like it could need some more mork, but besides that this are some nice looking straps! Are those tenax-fasteners you used? I am not quite sure about it as I can´t see the female one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colt W Knight Report post Posted June 15, 2014 They look like Schaller straplocks to me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sona Report post Posted June 15, 2014 Well, just looked this straplocks up on youtube and I think you´re just right The only think I don´t like about them (referring to the video I saw) is that they have a quite huge buildup on the flesh side and... all in all they got some big dimensions I think. I first thought (as ask above) that this might be tenax-fasteners. I don´t know, whether they are available/common in the USA, but over here in Germany it´s a fastener for sails on boats, coming in brass, nickle, nearly what ever you like. They are smaller (I think, as I just got some tenax at my place, so I have to compare bye eye to the locks shown in the video/on the pictures above), they got nearly no buildup on the flesh side, the parts for screwing it into the leather got some kind of teeth which go into the leather (should be harder to unravel) and you got different male pieces for wood, leather and other stuff. As this is a video without sound anyway, I think you might be able to ignore the german text (say "tenax, complete set".... nothing more ^^) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHXDpxv1FxE. If you know them, I´d like to know what you folks prefere and why, if not, i just want to mention another option Anyway, well made straps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allan1972 Report post Posted June 15, 2014 They look like Schaller straplocks to me. Yes, they are Schaller strap locks. On that first pic you can see the edge of the lining leather which is deer tan cow hide, so can't burnish that stuff:) All the veg tan leather is burnished. I have a pro edge burnisher on order so hopefully my edges will get even better in the future. Allan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colt W Knight Report post Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) I use one of those pro edge burnishers on my straps. They make a big difference. Cheap leather doesn't burnish as well as good stuff though. Edited June 15, 2014 by Colt W Knight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billybopp Report post Posted June 15, 2014 Very nice work! I'm in the process of making a guitar strap as a gift for a friend, and LOVE the idea of deer-tanned hide for the lining. I know that he sometimes plays shirtless, so that's something I've taken into consideration, but I hadn't thought of deer-tanned. I bet that feels like buttah against your skin! Thanks for sharing!
