so simple and it works.....Large portion of my family live in the Bensonhurst section.... How i wound up in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona is beyond me :)
It does work as long as your careful about the razor blade sticking up from your bench! If my family lived in Brooklyn, I might well move to Arizona so, it makes sense to me! Cheers!
you can buy strap cutter at any leather supply store or on the internet. I think they now cost $15- $20;. they work well and can be adjusted up to 4 in. How much did that piece off oak board cost?? as I glance at the pictures to the right, I see those cutters in 4-5 photos. some provide instruction to make the same tool that can be bought anywhere. even if you just must make your own, none seem tio use the expensive wood used in example. if you just have to, go ahead but there are easier, cheaper ways to do the same thing only better
I kind of like it, hope it doesn't detract too much. Most of the time it's covering parts where my girlfriend is talking to me or the tv is on (hazzard of working in a small apartment) or there's some other noise going on. Cheers.
Not positive, I think I used it on some lighter material at one point but I can't be certain. The thing I would be cautious of, apart from the razor blade sticking up out of your bench, is that thinner material may be more elastic so you might want to place some wood or other material that will prevent stretching on top of the leather between the blade and the guide. Hope that helps and good luck!!! Cheers!
I like it! It is perfect for cutting belts
Thanks!!!! I like that I can keep two hands on the leather.

love the music. thank you for the instructions
You are welcome! It works great, just be super careful. Razor blades sticking up from your bench are definitely dangerous!
Buena idea compañero. Gracias por compartir. Saludos.
Thanks!!!!
You are doing a very interesting job! I like!

Anyway, the end result was great.
For the Mercy of the lord, please don't ad music to your videos. They would be much better with just the natural sound.

Cool! How does it do on less than 4 oz leather? I need something that will work well on 2oz

Nice job! I only cringed a little when you bench dogged that beautiful piece of red oak.
Thanks. You cant get to precious about the materials, it's part of a shop jig so it's job is to take a bit of a beating. Think of it as stunt oak ;)
Intolerable presumptions of ancillary tooling = 1 BAD DESIGN.
It's a great project but I'll use power tools thanks :D
Thanks, and you do what works best for you!
