Watch Strap Patterns?

[Gregspitz]

I recently started making watch straps and would like to have some clicker dies made but I need some

patterns of tapered watch straps to send in to get them made. I think if I make them myself that the dies may not

come out as nice as I want. Can anyone help?

thank you for your consideration

Can you upload a sketch of what you're trying to achieve? I put it on a CAD drawing that is more precise if you'd like.

does photobucket work?

What's the length of the 2nd piece? (the one that isn't 130 mm) also, what is the distance between holes?

[Gregspitz]

sorry...I left that out...110 mm will work..as long as the ends stay a constant width for a distance it gives me wiggle room to fold over where I want and make it longer or shorter the holes are 7mm apart center to center...thanks again

with that in mind the strap with the holes should be 140mm before folded over not 130..sorry

I screwed up the short band on the 24mm strap made it 26mm...fixed it.

Wow. Those look great. I will print them out and get on it. Thank you so much! I hope I can return the favor some day.
