Thank you. I am making a bracelet today. 🙂
but what if both edges are not straight?
you started with one straight edge against the cutter
I need something like this, but can i use for soft textil ?You can help me ? (sorry my English language is not good) :))
I seriously just had the worse luck trying to cut a straight strap I kept getting wobbly edges, now I realize its cus I was using a thin chrome tanned leather versus super thick and sturdy veg tan. I'm thinking that was my error.
Ohhhh I need that.
Hey amigo, do I trim both sides of the strap or only the smooth side? Thanks.
I was hoping to see you bevel the edge of the hairy side of the leather. I just got a beveler today, and it isn't working on the rough side for me.
the strap cutter seems to work for thick leather. I bought one and tried to work with thin leather, got very disappointed! I did exactly what the instructions said but didn't work. The strap starts narrow and it gets wider by the time you finish cutting.
Sweet I needed this.
Three people didn't realise the strap cutter was a strap cutter.
These videos are crazy helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make and post them!
the wood is better than the metal?
