A tip I discovered for this method, if the lace is still curling more than you'd like for the application at hand after you've tried to stretch it straight by hand, you can lightly wet the lace by running a damp cloth over it, loop it over a curtain rod, and tie the ends to something with a little weight like a tool or water bottle or whatever. Let it hang for an hour or so and it'll come off straight as an arrow.

I have used this lace cutter for a while now and didn't realize there were two slots for the blade, thanks.

Damn, I tried so hard the wrong way. Your videos saving so many butts out there. Thank you Weaver!!!

Wow 🤩 my jaw dropped !!! Thank you for sharing it

Great timing! I gust got one yesterday and was wandering how to use it. Thanks a lot

Great video! Thanks for showing us how to make lace.

Wow, I have one of these. After trying to make this gadget work (incorrectly), I tossed it in my pencil jar. I'm going to follow your video and finally make some lace! Thank you so much Chuck!

This is fantastic! Thank you for making it!

🤯! Awesome tool!

Thank you!

That was so satisfying. I need that tool!

Wow, that's a cool tool!

That was satisfying to watch!

We need CLOSE UP SHOTS !

Slick. I bought the bench mounted one after seeing your demo video on it, so you know where I'm going next. Edit: Ordered a pair to have one set at each width.

Gracias 👍

Thanks, Chuck, I really enjoy your content from Oxfordshire in England.

Very informative video from Weaver. I just got one of these to make leather lace for my projects. I didn’t know you could spin it upside down like that. I’m going to try that!

My next tool

I bought one of these gadgets and it didn't come assembled and there are no instructions with it! So thanks for showing how to insert the blade and use the tool. Love your channel!

great video. one of those tools you didnt know you need until you see how great it is. lol

I follow your channel but thought this was about "leather lace" as in frilly stuff - I LOLd when I realized it was about leather lacing (see what I did there?). Thanks for doing these - love your channel. VERY cool tool, btw.

I like that!!! I have the bench mount lace maker you used for the impossible braid bracelet, and I love it but this is a really nice tool. Thank you for sharing. I am starting a new project making slippers for my 1 year old niece. I have patterns but a video covering that would be nice. I haven't do e any foot wear yet. So a little intimidated. When these turn out I want to scale up for adult size

Hello again from Down Under, Chuck. A request if I may- I'm waiting on delivery of a side of leather which I intend to use to make a heavy blacksmith apron. I want to use a fairly wide Y strap down to a cross piece on the back rather than a simple strap around my neck. Apparently the Y strap transfers a lot of the weight to your hips rather than your neck. I would love to see your take on this- and I need you to show me how to do it:) What say you Oh Wise One? :) Thanks mate. Jay.

Hey Chuck, can you do a video on sewing a veg tan tool pouch inside out and turning it right side out?

@WeaverLeatherSupply

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Jesse, We do not have a video on this, but we can definitely mention it to Chuck. To sew and turn veg tan leather, you'll have to use a pretty light weight unless its a softer or milled veg tan. Especially if the bag is small.

Wow, that thing is pretty sweet. If I have long thin scraps can this tool cut shorter lengths of lace in straight lines?

How can one cut very tiny thin straps of thin leather like deer? For fringe crafts for example or thin braiding

Question for the leather element: How can you dye leather grey? I am trying for gun metal and slate. I can find grey paint but can't find grey leather dye. Thank you.

@WeaverLeatherSupply

Hi there, Unfortunately I don't have a good answer for you on this. I'm not aware of any gray dyes available and the reason being is because there is no white dye. Acrylic is going to be your best bet for this.

Can you cut rawhide with this tool

@WeaverLeatherSupply

8 ай бұрын

It would have to be wet ad even then it would make it tough to control so it's probably not going to work very well for rawhide

I bought the other lace cutter because I was told that one was not very good at cutting lace at all boy was I lied to

Could.we get a leather element discussing how to harden leather?

@richardkatzman1215

7 ай бұрын

All you need is you kitchen oven. Wet your leather, place it in you over on the middle rack and set your oven for 350 degrees and set your timer for 30 minutes. The leather is going to be VERY HOT so use an oven mitten 7:19 to take it out. The bigger problem, explaining to your wife why the oven smells like cooked leather until the smell wears off. Hence, your food may taste like cooked leather. Good luck with that!

Can you dye a darker leather to a lighter color?

@WeaverLeatherSupply

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately using a lighter dye color on a dark leather will dye it darker or the color will stay the same.

Probably the most frustrating tool to use. I don't know why it's not working. It will cut around 3cm lace but it doesn't pull through as it cuts off. I'm using leather 2mm thick.

i TRYED AND TRYED AND THROUGH IT IN THE TRASH IT A WAST OF MONEY 2 OR 3 INCH CRAP

Show me that with deer leather, because it’s definitely not that easy and doesn’t work for me.
