Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted December 3, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted December 3, 2008 Just like a snobby Brit to go hide in a corner with a stack of books..... Ray, lace as you progress through the books- there's only so much about it that you can read and learn. Post some pics if you run into problems. Remember- use small lengths of about a meter to keep your lace looking happy. Quote Mike DeLoach Esse Quam Videri (Be rather than Seem) "Don't learn the tricks of the trade.....Learn the trade."

Members JLD Posted January 15, 2009 Members Report Posted January 15, 2009 Hi Marlon Could you please explain what you use to punch the slits for your lacing. It obviously isnt one of the punches as yours seem to be more on an angle and closer together. Thanks Johanne Quote Johanne "Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly"

Members Rawhide Posted January 15, 2009 Members Report Posted January 15, 2009 Sure no problem. For 1/8" lace, I use an overstitch wheel that's 7 stitches per inch to mark the locations, then I use one of these to punch out the slits. Quote Marlon
