Don't call me Richard

Recommended Posts

Okay, another 'supplier' rant.  Try not to call me Dick if you can help it ;) (hey, ya GOTTA let it out, fine.)

Trying to locate my buckstitch stuff... which doesn't get used much these days.  Maybe easier just buy new stuff?  NOPE.  Turns out there are a LOT of suppliers who will sell you book on how to buckstitch, but not the tools or the lace. ?!@!

And some that have chisels, but not the right size for the lace they sell. ?!@#!?!

And some .. well... never mind.  Anybody know of a place selling 5/32" or 3/16" QUALITY leather lace and the chisel to apply it?  Or, a wide enough awl instead of the chisel ...

Well, yah - as a former tool and die maker, I "could" make a tool that cuts strips of lace.  And another that splits it.  One more to bevel the edges of it and burnish it.  

I "could" also walk to get my supplies, but since there's already a UPS truck comes round heah...
