Cutting rawhide lace

[Red Owl]

Does anyone have a jig or gizmo they made to cut rawhide lace.

Just do a search for a leather strap cutter you'll get plenty of info for cutting straps and lace.
have a look at this one.

There is a lace cutting tool, with grooves to be a gauge as to the width of the leather lace when cut. They work quite well, and a scrap of leather too small for a project can be made into a useful leather lace...., IF you do rawhide, I'd suggest you soak it first.

I've seen that video but I'm a little confused on how to make the jig/cutter.

Yeah, I was wondering something similar - like, how does it work? What regulates the width of the cut, and why doesn't the blade slice off the string and come off completely? What holds the cutter to the leather?

Years ago I watched a saddle maker use a small wooden hand held tool to make piggen strings. I think it was adjustable to cut thicker strips. I have no idea what it was called or where to find one.

What about us old farts who don't get involved with Face Book? How do we see this thing being made?

This video seems to explain it fairly well.
