MikeRock Posted August 27, 2019 Report Posted August 27, 2019 No one has mentioned the old cobblers lace maker. I have one and it works fine.. stole a photo off the net. Quote

If it´s not what i hope for, il probably go for the old antique one that makes rounded lace, but they too are quite expensive. Oh well... trial and error i suppose. Also, may be different with my veg tanned leather so i´l be sure to take note on it. Rein rounder ity was called. I call it lace maker in Sweden but i hope it makes sense anyways.

MikeRock Posted August 27, 2019 Report Posted August 27, 2019 Australian lace maker..... you are right!! I'd gotten mine so long ago I forgot the name. They came out of an Amish harness shop in southern Wisconsin. Quote

Can you use it as the Tandy plastic one as well? I mean to make leather cord from a round piece starting from a center hole? Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 27, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted August 27, 2019 But the REAL question is, WHERE is the tool that reliably BEVELS the lace?

Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 27, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted August 27, 2019 nah, I mean so that the lace, instead of being this gets to be this So when I lace with it (not braid with it) it lays FLATTER (for buckstitching) Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members Grihm Posted August 27, 2019 Author Members Report Posted August 27, 2019 Then that´s the tool you use. At least as i see it from your pic. Could also be this one as it works on a broader surface. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 28, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted August 28, 2019 That would be quite a trick considering that the lace would be less than half as wide as that tool. I don't doubt it would make the cut, but you'd need a way to reliably hold the lace straight without stretching ... Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."
