HOMEMADE splitter

[Sticks]

Hi guys,

here is my leather splitter in action.

It is based on the jewelers mill.

It can split (very smoothly) up to 75mm wide leather .

From 5mm thick ,it can split down to 0.4mm paper thin.

The blade is absolutely amazing .

Blade was shaped my me from a blank and heat treated by a friend.

As can be seen in the video, the blade is fully adjustable.

Im now looking for a roller with horizontal grooves for the bottom to provide more grip and improved feeding.

Thnx guys.

Ahh,

in that case for the type of person at risk of this,, my just mopped floor or a dinner knife might pose a bigger risk.
