Contributing Member JLSleather Posted July 26, 2019 Contributing Member Report Posted July 26, 2019 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 ... Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law." IF what you do is something that ANYBODY can do, then don't be surprised when ANYBODY does.
mikesc Posted July 26, 2019 Report Posted July 26, 2019 Shirley you could make a chisel ? ;) Quote "Don't you know that women are the only works of Art" .. ( Don Henley and "some French painter in a field" )
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted July 27, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted July 27, 2019 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...
