Contributing Member JLSleather Posted October 19, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) Oh, I see makers supply (or something like that) has a set of 4mm chisels (which is 5/32", or so close nobody cares) but $60 for the set, which seem extreme to me. I'm gonna pass for that price, but I mention it here in case somebody else wants to know. Oops.. it's Makers Leather Supply. Knew it was something like that.

Members johnv474 Posted October 20, 2019 Members Report Posted October 20, 2019 Bright white? Would cream/off-white work? Must it be dyed through? I was going to say another source until I found this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DPVPGLL/ref=twister_B07DPXCWXB?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Quote

Yup - but, not 5/32" Must be my age showing - used to be everybody carried this stuff. Guess a guy could get something WIDER, then cut it down and bevel the edges (WHY is lace not beveled any more?@!) but that seems to almost defeat the purpose of buying lace. Some new enough they've never used beveled-edge lace probably won't understand. Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Never heard of em before. They don't have a printed catalog, and their web site is almost painful to use, so I called. Seemed polite as could be (one guy, who then put me on to one gal). But they don't HAVE lace, might take a week to "get it in" (whatever that means), and I couldn't tell from their pic if the chisels are straight or angled... so they're going to get me the angled (again, not sure what 'get" means). So... not inspiring worlds of confidence at this point. But, y'all know me.. I'm SO fair that most people can't stand it. If you treated me right, I'll absolutely tell people about you. Other hand, if I didn't get what you said I was getting, I'll tell people that too. I have neither the time or the patience to order something... wait for it... find out it's not what i was led to believe it was ... send it back... order again...... Nope.

CFM Frodo Posted November 28, 2019 CFM Report Posted November 28, 2019 JLSleather, do you know a welder that has a mig machine? some stainless steel nails welded onto a piece of stainless for a handle and you have a quality chisel you might want to use a 14 or 16 gauge nail Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles Stand your ass up during the National Anthem
Members Hasbeencowboy Posted November 28, 2019 Members Report Posted November 28, 2019 I use leathercordusa.com for my Buckstitching lace. It is 4mm but from a quarter mile away on a fast running horse you can't tell the difference between 4mm and 5/32. I'm sure they will send you a sample if you are so inclined Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted November 28, 2019 Author Contributing Member Report Posted November 28, 2019 well, even standin' still the difference between 4mm and 5/32 aint but bout half a sliver , so yah. Got any pics where ya used it? 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.
