Lacing - getting started

[TwinOaks]

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.

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

I'm not marlon but,

This is what you use for the angled slits "TANDY LEATHER CRAFTOOL 1/8" CHISEL 4 PRONG ANGLE" I tuck in a photo too...I found this one on Ebay.

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.
