Members Ken Nelson Posted August 4, 2016 Members Report Posted August 4, 2016 A number of years ago someone was building a bench lace tool something like a Hansen, but built out of aluminum. It did not have a name on it, used a utility blade on the cutter and come a little rough. They were inexpensive but did a really good job cutting, beveling and splitting strings. I had one but someone got off with it and I would sure like to find another one. Does anyone know who built it? I got the one I used to have about 12 or 13 years ago from Hadlock Fox but no none there knows anything about it now. Thanks Ken Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted August 4, 2016 Moderator Report Posted August 4, 2016 Ken, I've had a few. I did get one with instructions and it was made by JHE Enterprises or something like that in UT. I think Timberline used to carry them too. They do show up every now and again, but I don't think they've been made for a while. And in one of those "you shoulda been here yesterday" deals - one sold on Ebay yesterday. - Bruce Quote
HorsehairBraider Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 I have a cutter/skiver/beveler like you describe made out of aluminum... I bought it on eBay from the maker. His name was Clint Sims and for a while anyway he was a member here and I believe his handle here was "White Buff". I've not been around much myself, so I don't know if he is still around. Quote
