Smilin Jim,

Thanks Again,

Timothy

Can't quite figure out how the lace maker works. I see how the splitter works, but not the lace maker. Am I just dense?

Glad it works for ya Tim.

Bob, maybe I just haven't given enough detail. Works the same as the Tandy black lacemaker, just a more crude design. On the front where you start the lace there is an adjustable slot. Been busy at work and with personal stuff so haven't had time to post the plans for the lacemaker. In the works so bear with me a little longer and maybe I can shed some light for you. I'll try to post some more pics too.

Thanks folks

Keep on Smilin

Jim

Hi folks

Not only was there a crash on the site but I had a few problems too. This is my final 'design?' for my lace maker and splitter. They are for smaller lace, I've made 1/16 inch and very thin, up to 3/8 or so. I've lost the addresses of several of the people that wanted some so pm me with an address if still interested. I should be sending out the ones I have addresses for this weekend. Still have yours Jacque (Horsehairbraider) The lace maker works just like the Tandy plastic one except it is adjustable.

If you would like to make your own then I'll be glad to send pics and dimensions and some of my 'explanations.

If anyone has already made something similar let me know as I would like to improve as much as possible. Would like to be able to add beveling if I can work that out.

Keep on Smilin

Hey

Sorry for not posting pics sooner, problem with internet connections, oh well. Anyway, I hope to take some pics tonite on a cutter board with inch marking. Should be able to to see most numbers. Nothing is really critical. I'll try to post some of the pics with some additional info. I started to do a cad drawing but may be more confusing for some of the folks. Check out what I post then get back to me. If you want a cad dwg with dimensions then I'll finish and send that to you.

Keep on Smilin

Here's the pics of my lace cutter. I think this will provide most of the info you need to make one. Please note that the tape measure I used is marked in inches on the lower part of the tape and 10's of on the top. A surveyors tape. I took pics of the completed assembly then took it apart and then put it back together.By adjusting the width of the slot in front you can adjust the width of the lace cut.Keep on SmilinJimRest of pics

I guess I'm gonna have to order one from Tandy. I just can't wrap my mind around the construction of this one.
