[Music]
[Music] that works show us how it’s really done
[Music]
[Music] all right Guerra that was awesome tell
all right Guerra that was awesome tell
all right Guerra that was awesome tell us about this whip you were using yeah
us about this whip you were using yeah
us about this whip you were using yeah so this is a six and a half foot
so this is a six and a half foot
so this is a six and a half foot kangaroo hide bullwhip and it has a salt
kangaroo hide bullwhip and it has a salt
kangaroo hide bullwhip and it has a salt loaded core with a four plot belly
loaded core with a four plot belly
loaded core with a four plot belly cowhide bolster and the toe pod overlay
cowhide bolster and the toe pod overlay
cowhide bolster and the toe pod overlay and we’re gonna be making that today all
and we’re gonna be making that today all
and we’re gonna be making that today all right I don’t know what most of those
right I don’t know what most of those
right I don’t know what most of those things mean but it sounds cool and we’re
things mean but it sounds cool and we’re
things mean but it sounds cool and we’re gonna learn about it and so this
gonna learn about it and so this
gonna learn about it and so this kangaroo leather whip is made from this
kangaroo leather whip is made from this
kangaroo leather whip is made from this kangaroo leather strips
kangaroo leather strips
kangaroo leather strips amongst other things right exactly how
amongst other things right exactly how
amongst other things right exactly how do we get to this from a kangaroo hi-yah
do we get to this from a kangaroo hi-yah
do we get to this from a kangaroo hi-yah so the biggest kangaroo how you ever
so the biggest kangaroo how you ever
so the biggest kangaroo how you ever gonna find is gonna be about this big so
gonna find is gonna be about this big so
gonna find is gonna be about this big so that obviously is not going to get very
that obviously is not going to get very
that obviously is not going to get very long thin strips so we have to cut
long thin strips so we have to cut
long thin strips so we have to cut circles around the circumference of the
circles around the circumference of the
circles around the circumference of the kangaroo height in order to get the
kangaroo height in order to get the
kangaroo height in order to get the length of leather lace that we need in
length of leather lace that we need in
length of leather lace that we need in order to do that we make a lace cutter
order to do that we make a lace cutter
order to do that we make a lace cutter which makes it easy to cut the leather
which makes it easy to cut the leather
which makes it easy to cut the leather laces all right very cool so we’re going
laces all right very cool so we’re going
laces all right very cool so we’re going to spiral cut a kangaroo hide and what
to spiral cut a kangaroo hide and what
to spiral cut a kangaroo hide and what we need to do is build the little
we need to do is build the little
we need to do is build the little mechanism that lets us do that exactly
mechanism that lets us do that exactly
mechanism that lets us do that exactly very cool here’s the basic idea we’re
very cool here’s the basic idea we’re
very cool here’s the basic idea we’re going to take a piece of scrap wood a
going to take a piece of scrap wood a
going to take a piece of scrap wood a couple of razor blades and some hardware
couple of razor blades and some hardware
couple of razor blades and some hardware to assemble an adjustable lace cutter
to assemble an adjustable lace cutter
to assemble an adjustable lace cutter used for making strips of leather that
used for making strips of leather that
used for making strips of leather that can then be woven into a leather bowler
can then be woven into a leather bowler
can then be woven into a leather bowler to get started our lace cutter what are
to get started our lace cutter what are
to get started our lace cutter what are the supplies that we need we’re gonna
the supplies that we need we’re gonna
the supplies that we need we’re gonna need just a piece of scrap wood some
need just a piece of scrap wood some
need just a piece of scrap wood some razor blades in order to actually cut
razor blades in order to actually cut
razor blades in order to actually cut the leather some wing nuts and some
the leather some wing nuts and some
the leather some wing nuts and some washers to kind of hold the entire
washers to kind of hold the entire
washers to kind of hold the entire apparatus together and we’re gonna need
apparatus together and we’re gonna need
apparatus together and we’re gonna need some threaded rod to start out we need
some threaded rod to start out we need
some threaded rod to start out we need to cut a couple of pieces out of our
to cut a couple of pieces out of our
to cut a couple of pieces out of our board and to decide the size of that
board and to decide the size of that
board and to decide the size of that we’re just gonna figure out what seems
we’re just gonna figure out what seems
we’re just gonna figure out what seems like it’ll be easy to hold on to see so
like it’ll be easy to hold on to see so
like it’ll be easy to hold on to see so yeah to fit easily in my hand give me a
yeah to fit easily in my hand give me a
yeah to fit easily in my hand give me a good grip you little over two inches
good grip you little over two inches
good grip you little over two inches wider go for about two and a quarter and
wider go for about two and a quarter and
wider go for about two and a quarter and four maybe five and a half
four maybe five and a half
four maybe five and a half [Music]
[Music]
[Music] and then the second piece that we need
and then the second piece that we need
and then the second piece that we need to cut is actually going to sit on top
to cut is actually going to sit on top
to cut is actually going to sit on top of this one and I think we’re gonna try
of this one and I think we’re gonna try
of this one and I think we’re gonna try and make that length the same as this
and make that length the same as this
and make that length the same as this one’s width so we’re just going to keep
one’s width so we’re just going to keep
one’s width so we’re just going to keep that cut going for I don’t know
that cut going for I don’t know
that cut going for I don’t know inch and a quarter inch and a half
inch and a quarter inch and a half
inch and a quarter inch and a half something like that it it’s it’s pretty
something like that it it’s it’s pretty
something like that it it’s it’s pretty loose and then we just need it wide
loose and then we just need it wide
loose and then we just need it wide enough that we can fit our washer on top
enough that we can fit our washer on top
enough that we can fit our washer on top of it okay we got briefly distracted by
of it okay we got briefly distracted by
of it okay we got briefly distracted by a sudden and fairly intense hailstorm so
a sudden and fairly intense hailstorm so
a sudden and fairly intense hailstorm so I might still be a little bit wet
I might still be a little bit wet
I might still be a little bit wet because I felt I needed to run around in
because I felt I needed to run around in
because I felt I needed to run around in that but we’re back and it’s time to
that but we’re back and it’s time to
that but we’re back and it’s time to continue with our build so we’ve got our
continue with our build so we’ve got our
continue with our build so we’ve got our pieces measured out and we’re gonna cut
pieces measured out and we’re gonna cut
pieces measured out and we’re gonna cut those out using the bandsaw
those out using the bandsaw
those out using the bandsaw if you don’t have bandsaw any other kind
if you don’t have bandsaw any other kind
if you don’t have bandsaw any other kind of saw will work pretty well it’s just
of saw will work pretty well it’s just
of saw will work pretty well it’s just convenient for what we’re doing
[Applause]
[Applause] [Music]
so at this point we’ve got our two
so at this point we’ve got our two pieces and let me know if I’ve got this
pieces and let me know if I’ve got this
pieces and let me know if I’ve got this right the idea of how this is going to
right the idea of how this is going to
right the idea of how this is going to work so we’re playing to put the
work so we’re playing to put the
work so we’re playing to put the all-thread right here the blade is gonna
all-thread right here the blade is gonna
all-thread right here the blade is gonna come up somewhere around right here
come up somewhere around right here
come up somewhere around right here probably yeah now about that yeah and
probably yeah now about that yeah and
probably yeah now about that yeah and then our smaller block is going to have
then our smaller block is going to have
then our smaller block is going to have sort of the ellipse
sort of the ellipse
sort of the ellipse shaped hole cut into it that’s gonna be
shaped hole cut into it that’s gonna be
shaped hole cut into it that’s gonna be a sloppy drawing perfect that hole will
a sloppy drawing perfect that hole will
a sloppy drawing perfect that hole will be cut out and it will fit around the
be cut out and it will fit around the
be cut out and it will fit around the all-thread
all-thread
all-thread so the all-thread will go right here
so the all-thread will go right here
so the all-thread will go right here through this block and it’ll be able to
through this block and it’ll be able to
through this block and it’ll be able to slide back and forth until we fix it
slide back and forth until we fix it
slide back and forth until we fix it down in place with the wing nut so we’ve
down in place with the wing nut so we’ve
down in place with the wing nut so we’ve got 5/16 inch threaded rod and what we
got 5/16 inch threaded rod and what we
got 5/16 inch threaded rod and what we want is for that rod to be in this block
want is for that rod to be in this block
want is for that rod to be in this block super tight so it’s never going to come
super tight so it’s never going to come
super tight so it’s never going to come out so we’re gonna drill our hole using
out so we’re gonna drill our hole using
out so we’re gonna drill our hole using an even smaller drill bit this is a 1/4
an even smaller drill bit this is a 1/4
an even smaller drill bit this is a 1/4 inch drill bit one quarter is four
inch drill bit one quarter is four
inch drill bit one quarter is four sixteenths the rod is five sixteenths
sixteenths the rod is five sixteenths
sixteenths the rod is five sixteenths that makes the rod a tiny bit larger
that makes the rod a tiny bit larger
that makes the rod a tiny bit larger than the drill bit so it should be in
than the drill bit so it should be in
than the drill bit so it should be in there really tight so we need to drill a
there really tight so we need to drill a
there really tight so we need to drill a hole into the block right here and we
hole into the block right here and we
hole into the block right here and we need to drill a hole in the block right
need to drill a hole in the block right
need to drill a hole in the block right here
so to hold our razor blade in place
so to hold our razor blade in place we’re gonna cut a slit down through part
we’re gonna cut a slit down through part
we’re gonna cut a slit down through part of this block we’re not gonna go all the
of this block we’re not gonna go all the
of this block we’re not gonna go all the way down we’re not removing a piece but
way down we’re not removing a piece but
way down we’re not removing a piece but we’re just making a slot that our razor
we’re just making a slot that our razor
we’re just making a slot that our razor blade can fit into
blade can fit into
blade can fit into we’ve got our bandsaw and we’ve got this
we’ve got our bandsaw and we’ve got this
we’ve got our bandsaw and we’ve got this jig set up that will hopefully let us
jig set up that will hopefully let us
jig set up that will hopefully let us cut perfectly straight into our block
cut perfectly straight into our block
cut perfectly straight into our block now we don’t want to cut the whole piece
now we don’t want to cut the whole piece
now we don’t want to cut the whole piece all the way off
all the way off
all the way off how far down about like that you hum
how far down about like that you hum
how far down about like that you hum yeah a little over twice as much as the
yeah a little over twice as much as the
yeah a little over twice as much as the distance okay
distance okay
distance okay [Music]
this mark was my first estimate of where
this mark was my first estimate of where to go
to go
to go Garrett suggested we go a little bit
Garrett suggested we go a little bit
Garrett suggested we go a little bit farther than that because this is
farther than that because this is
farther than that because this is basically our hinge it’s gonna be
basically our hinge it’s gonna be
basically our hinge it’s gonna be tightening down right where we drilled
tightening down right where we drilled
tightening down right where we drilled our hole and the razor blade is gonna be
our hole and the razor blade is gonna be
our hole and the razor blade is gonna be secured above that so if we’ve got a
secured above that so if we’ve got a
secured above that so if we’ve got a little bit more space we’ve got a little
little bit more space we’ve got a little
little bit more space we’ve got a little bit more leverage against our hinge and
bit more leverage against our hinge and
bit more leverage against our hinge and we can clamp it down nice and really
we can clamp it down nice and really
we can clamp it down nice and really tight now at this point if we put our
tight now at this point if we put our
tight now at this point if we put our all thread into this hole that we’ve
all thread into this hole that we’ve
all thread into this hole that we’ve drilled it would be really stuck and we
drilled it would be really stuck and we
drilled it would be really stuck and we wouldn’t really be able to squeeze this
wouldn’t really be able to squeeze this
wouldn’t really be able to squeeze this down to pinch our razor blade would we
down to pinch our razor blade would we
down to pinch our razor blade would we know okay so we’ll use a 5/16 inch drill
know okay so we’ll use a 5/16 inch drill
know okay so we’ll use a 5/16 inch drill bit to open up this front portion of the
bit to open up this front portion of the
bit to open up this front portion of the hole so that we can clamp down on the
hole so that we can clamp down on the
hole so that we can clamp down on the razor blade and we’ll move freely on the
razor blade and we’ll move freely on the
razor blade and we’ll move freely on the all-thread rather than being locked on
all-thread rather than being locked on
all-thread rather than being locked on so you can’t see too well inside this
so you can’t see too well inside this
so you can’t see too well inside this hole to know what’s going on but here’s
hole to know what’s going on but here’s
hole to know what’s going on but here’s the basic idea we drilled a hole that
the basic idea we drilled a hole that
the basic idea we drilled a hole that goes all the way down through the block
goes all the way down through the block
goes all the way down through the block about like that it’s one quarter of an
about like that it’s one quarter of an
about like that it’s one quarter of an inch wide but because we don’t want the
inch wide but because we don’t want the
inch wide but because we don’t want the all thread to bind on this part we then
all thread to bind on this part we then
all thread to bind on this part we then drilled a larger hole that goes wider
drilled a larger hole that goes wider
drilled a larger hole that goes wider than that one quarter this is our 5/16
than that one quarter this is our 5/16
than that one quarter this is our 5/16 inch hole so we have a wider hole
inch hole so we have a wider hole
inch hole so we have a wider hole through this portion and then it narrows
through this portion and then it narrows
through this portion and then it narrows down to one quarter inch for this
down to one quarter inch for this
down to one quarter inch for this portion this means the all thread should
portion this means the all thread should
portion this means the all thread should bind really well to the wood here but
bind really well to the wood here but
bind really well to the wood here but float in the drill hole on this portion
float in the drill hole on this portion
float in the drill hole on this portion up here it won’t be attached to it which
up here it won’t be attached to it which
up here it won’t be attached to it which is good because we need this to move
is good because we need this to move
is good because we need this to move just slightly in and out so now this
just slightly in and out so now this
just slightly in and out so now this piece we need to drill this long oval
piece we need to drill this long oval
piece we need to drill this long oval shaped hole sort of thing and once again
shaped hole sort of thing and once again
shaped hole sort of thing and once again this is something we don’t want to bind
this is something we don’t want to bind
this is something we don’t want to bind to the authority’ we want it to be able
to the authority’ we want it to be able
to the authority’ we want it to be able to float and slide back and forth so
to float and slide back and forth so
to float and slide back and forth so let’s keep using the 5/16 inch drill bit
let’s keep using the 5/16 inch drill bit
let’s keep using the 5/16 inch drill bit for this and what we’re just gonna do is
for this and what we’re just gonna do is
for this and what we’re just gonna do is set up a sort of brace and then we’re
set up a sort of brace and then we’re
set up a sort of brace and then we’re just gonna drill holes down in sequence
just gonna drill holes down in sequence
just gonna drill holes down in sequence making sort of a tunnel through the wood
making sort of a tunnel through the wood
making sort of a tunnel through the wood it’ll clean it up a file if we need to
all right we’ve got that hole cut out it
all right we’ve got that hole cut out it seems to slide pretty nicely on our all
seems to slide pretty nicely on our all
seems to slide pretty nicely on our all thread without it doesn’t have a ton of
thread without it doesn’t have a ton of
thread without it doesn’t have a ton of wiggle room which just it moves pretty
wiggle room which just it moves pretty
wiggle room which just it moves pretty easily now we need small thread we need
easily now we need small thread we need
easily now we need small thread we need all thread cut to fit into this hole and
all thread cut to fit into this hole and
all thread cut to fit into this hole and into that one all right we can take our
into that one all right we can take our
into that one all right we can take our drill bit that fits down into the hole
drill bit that fits down into the hole
drill bit that fits down into the hole we can measure see if we do it through
we can measure see if we do it through
we can measure see if we do it through the block we can see it should come to
the block we can see it should come to
the block we can see it should come to here to be level let’s add on about half
here to be level let’s add on about half
here to be level let’s add on about half an inch to it so we can just measure
an inch to it so we can just measure
an inch to it so we can just measure like that about how long we want this
like that about how long we want this
like that about how long we want this go
go

[Music]
[Music] so I like to put a little bit of
so I like to put a little bit of
so I like to put a little bit of superglue inside the hole and that just
superglue inside the hole and that just
superglue inside the hole and that just helps to lock it in place
helps to lock it in place
helps to lock it in place even more extra binding sounds like a
even more extra binding sounds like a
even more extra binding sounds like a plan all right so it can take a little
plan all right so it can take a little
plan all right so it can take a little bit of effort to get that hole to bind
bit of effort to get that hole to bind
bit of effort to get that hole to bind onto the edges at the all-thread but
onto the edges at the all-thread but
onto the edges at the all-thread but just push harder and you’re gonna want
just push harder and you’re gonna want
just push harder and you’re gonna want to use some pliers to grab onto the
to use some pliers to grab onto the
to use some pliers to grab onto the all-thread and just twist it onto the
all-thread and just twist it onto the
all-thread and just twist it onto the wood my arms getting tired let me take a
wood my arms getting tired let me take a
wood my arms getting tired let me take a turn yeah I’m so strong
turn yeah I’m so strong
turn yeah I’m so strong let’s see now someone else is doing the
let’s see now someone else is doing the
let’s see now someone else is doing the work that’s the key
all right now we can slide this back and
all right now we can slide this back and forth cinch it down using our all thread
forth cinch it down using our all thread
forth cinch it down using our all thread and the wingnut and it stays firmly in
and the wingnut and it stays firmly in
and the wingnut and it stays firmly in place
place
place brilliant same thing on the other side
so now we’ve got two adjustable points
so now we’ve got two adjustable points we can loosen and tighten this piece of
we can loosen and tighten this piece of
we can loosen and tighten this piece of the wood and then when we loosen this
the wood and then when we loosen this
the wood and then when we loosen this our little block on the top just slides
our little block on the top just slides
our little block on the top just slides back and forth what do we still need to
back and forth what do we still need to
back and forth what do we still need to do we need to put a plate in it we need
do we need to put a plate in it we need
do we need to put a plate in it we need to put a blade in it I usually like to
to put a blade in it I usually like to
to put a blade in it I usually like to use about an inch of blade so it has
use about an inch of blade so it has
use about an inch of blade so it has enough it’s nicely grip inside though so
enough it’s nicely grip inside though so
enough it’s nicely grip inside though so I’ve got too much here yes so we need to
I’ve got too much here yes so we need to
I’ve got too much here yes so we need to break off that’s what’s nice about these
break off that’s what’s nice about these
break off that’s what’s nice about these plates is you can take some set to
plates is you can take some set to
plates is you can take some set to whatever size you want all right
whatever size you want all right
whatever size you want all right sometimes razor blades go flying got our
sometimes razor blades go flying got our
sometimes razor blades go flying got our blade and we want to drop this down
blade and we want to drop this down
blade and we want to drop this down until most of it is hidden you only want
until most of it is hidden you only want
until most of it is hidden you only want like a little bit kind of sticking up at
like a little bit kind of sticking up at
like a little bit kind of sticking up at the top that’s maybe quarter of an inch
the top that’s maybe quarter of an inch
the top that’s maybe quarter of an inch maybe just over that right yeah the
maybe just over that right yeah the
maybe just over that right yeah the longest time all right now we just twist
longest time all right now we just twist
longest time all right now we just twist here on the side and that will pinch
here on the side and that will pinch
here on the side and that will pinch down on the blade holding it firmly in
down on the blade holding it firmly in
down on the blade holding it firmly in place we can adjust how thick we want
place we can adjust how thick we want
place we can adjust how thick we want our lace cutter to cut by moving this
our lace cutter to cut by moving this
our lace cutter to cut by moving this piece in and out Garrett is there
piece in and out Garrett is there
piece in and out Garrett is there anything else we want to do to this to
anything else we want to do to this to
anything else we want to do to this to really make it work just right so
really make it work just right so
really make it work just right so there’s one more optional thing that we
there’s one more optional thing that we
there’s one more optional thing that we can do you can take off this corner here
can do you can take off this corner here
can do you can take off this corner here because as the leather is running by the
because as the leather is running by the
because as the leather is running by the lace cutter sometimes it gets caught on
lace cutter sometimes it gets caught on
lace cutter sometimes it gets caught on this corner so if we just cut this
this corner so if we just cut this
this corner so if we just cut this corner off at a 45 degree angle it’ll
corner off at a 45 degree angle it’ll
corner off at a 45 degree angle it’ll help to cut the leather a little
help to cut the leather a little
help to cut the leather a little smoother
cool can we test it out yep time to test
cool can we test it out yep time to test it out test it out why are we using
it out test it out why are we using
it out test it out why are we using kangaroo hide for our way making
kangaroo hide for our way making
kangaroo hide for our way making kangaroo hide is the strongest leather
kangaroo hide is the strongest leather
kangaroo hide is the strongest leather in existence is basically no other
in existence is basically no other
in existence is basically no other leather that’s going to be stronger than
leather that’s going to be stronger than
leather that’s going to be stronger than Pinker your hides okay so we’re gonna be
Pinker your hides okay so we’re gonna be
Pinker your hides okay so we’re gonna be cutting around the circumference of the
cutting around the circumference of the
cutting around the circumference of the hide but as you can see it doesn’t have
hide but as you can see it doesn’t have
hide but as you can see it doesn’t have a very very smooth outline around the
a very very smooth outline around the
a very very smooth outline around the hide so we’re gonna need to do is trim
hide so we’re gonna need to do is trim
hide so we’re gonna need to do is trim it so we have a very smooth curvature
it so we have a very smooth curvature
it so we have a very smooth curvature around the entire hide which makes it
around the entire hide which makes it
around the entire hide which makes it easy to cut the lace these little points
easy to cut the lace these little points
easy to cut the lace these little points if we tried to pass that through our
if we tried to pass that through our
if we tried to pass that through our lace cutter we can’t really turn a sharp
lace cutter we can’t really turn a sharp
lace cutter we can’t really turn a sharp angle we just need it to be like a
angle we just need it to be like a
angle we just need it to be like a smooth transition so we’re gonna lose
smooth transition so we’re gonna lose
smooth transition so we’re gonna lose these little pointy bits on the edges
these little pointy bits on the edges
these little pointy bits on the edges I’m taking off these legs cuz the legs
I’m taking off these legs cuz the legs
I’m taking off these legs cuz the legs are easily pretty stretchy and it’s not
are easily pretty stretchy and it’s not
are easily pretty stretchy and it’s not the optimal leather to use
[Music]
[Music] do we want to try and get any lace off
do we want to try and get any lace off
do we want to try and get any lace off of this piece you just cut or do we want
of this piece you just cut or do we want
of this piece you just cut or do we want to go straight into the circuit we need
to go straight into the circuit we need
to go straight into the circuit we need to we want to keep these scrapped
to we want to keep these scrapped
to we want to keep these scrapped because we’ll use them for a little kind
because we’ll use them for a little kind
because we’ll use them for a little kind of rinky-dink things along the way but
of rinky-dink things along the way but
of rinky-dink things along the way but so don’t throw this away but don’t use
so don’t throw this away but don’t use
so don’t throw this away but don’t use it right now yeah so we’re not gonna get
it right now yeah so we’re not gonna get
it right now yeah so we’re not gonna get very good lace out of that but we can
very good lace out of that but we can
very good lace out of that but we can still get it’s a good use out of it okay
still get it’s a good use out of it okay
still get it’s a good use out of it okay okay so now that we have the kangaroo
okay so now that we have the kangaroo
okay so now that we have the kangaroo hide trimmed up we have a very nice
hide trimmed up we have a very nice
hide trimmed up we have a very nice curve around the entire kangaroo hide we
curve around the entire kangaroo hide we
curve around the entire kangaroo hide we can now begin to cut the lace I like to
can now begin to cut the lace I like to
can now begin to cut the lace I like to cut lace on the corner of like a table
cut lace on the corner of like a table
cut lace on the corner of like a table or a workbench or something like that so
or a workbench or something like that so
or a workbench or something like that so I have the kangaroo hide well braced on
I have the kangaroo hide well braced on
I have the kangaroo hide well braced on the table but I can have the edge of
the table but I can have the edge of
the table but I can have the edge of time working with free and I don’t have
time working with free and I don’t have
time working with free and I don’t have a table in my way so to start cutting
a table in my way so to start cutting
a table in my way so to start cutting we’re just going to start on an edge
we’re just going to start on an edge
we’re just going to start on an edge here and we’re going to take our blade
here and we’re going to take our blade
here and we’re going to take our blade and just kind of slowly push it in and
and just kind of slowly push it in and
and just kind of slowly push it in and we’re gonna start just kind of a little
we’re gonna start just kind of a little
we’re gonna start just kind of a little bit of a taper and get wider and wider
bit of a taper and get wider and wider
bit of a taper and get wider and wider and wider until we reach the full width
and wider until we reach the full width

there now as we start cutting it’s
there now as we start cutting it’s really important to be holding the lace
really important to be holding the lace
really important to be holding the lace that you’re pulling through and pulling
that you’re pulling through and pulling
that you’re pulling through and pulling out a little bit of an angle pulling out
out a little bit of an angle pulling out
out a little bit of an angle pulling out an angle helps to keep tension on the
an angle helps to keep tension on the
an angle helps to keep tension on the lace cutter and the blade so you get a
lace cutter and the blade so you get a
lace cutter and the blade so you get a nice straight cut you have to be careful
nice straight cut you have to be careful
nice straight cut you have to be careful with fresh blades because they cut
with fresh blades because they cut
with fresh blades because they cut through the leather like butter and if

through the leather like butter and if you get excited you’ll just pull right
you get excited you’ll just pull right
you get excited you’ll just pull right through the leather in and your strand
through the leather in and your strand

too early I did it Jeff sure I like to
too early I did it Jeff sure I like to put my thumb kind of on top to help keep
put my thumb kind of on top to help keep
put my thumb kind of on top to help keep it flush
do I do anything special when I get back
do I do anything special when I get back to the starting point or do I just kind
to the starting point or do I just kind
to the starting point or do I just kind of keep circling through yeah just kind

of keep circling through yeah just kind of keep circling through it that kind of
of keep circling through it that kind of
of keep circling through it that kind of knots will get taken away whenever you
knots will get taken away whenever you
knots will get taken away whenever you resize the strand so it feels like I
resize the strand so it feels like I
resize the strand so it feels like I could go a lot faster and you’re
could go a lot faster and you’re
could go a lot faster and you’re recommending I really don’t do that
recommending I really don’t do that
recommending I really don’t do that because I’ll probably end up
because I’ll probably end up
because I’ll probably end up accidentally just pulling the blade
accidentally just pulling the blade
accidentally just pulling the blade right through the edge of the level yeah
right through the edge of the level yeah
right through the edge of the level yeah it actually kind of gets a little bit
it actually kind of gets a little bit
it actually kind of gets a little bit easier as the blade dulls it just a
easier as the blade dulls it just a
easier as the blade dulls it just a little bit and you get a little bit of
little bit and you get a little bit of
little bit and you get a little bit of resistance it makes it easier to go a
resistance it makes it easier to go a
resistance it makes it easier to go a little bit faster without worrying about
little bit faster without worrying about
little bit faster without worrying about cutting through your strand it’s better
cutting through your strand it’s better
cutting through your strand it’s better to err on the side of cutting a little
to err on the side of cutting a little
to err on the side of cutting a little bit too thick because we can make it
bit too thick because we can make it
bit too thick because we can make it smaller so we can’t make it bigger yeah
smaller so we can’t make it bigger yeah
smaller so we can’t make it bigger yeah I think I made it all the way around
I think I made it all the way around
I think I made it all the way around once very cool very cool this lace

gonna find is gonna be about this big so that obviously is not going to get very
that obviously is not going to get very
that obviously is not going to get very long thin strips so we have to cut
long thin strips so we have to cut
long thin strips so we have to cut circles around the circumference of the

yeah to fit easily in my hand give me a good grip you little over two inches
good grip you little over two inches
good grip you little over two inches wider go for about two and a quarter and
wider go for about two and a quarter and
wider go for about two and a quarter and four maybe five and a half
four maybe five and a half
four maybe five and a half [Music]
[Music]

and then the second piece that we need
and then the second piece that we need to cut is actually going to sit on top
to cut is actually going to sit on top
to cut is actually going to sit on top of this one and I think we’re gonna try
of this one and I think we’re gonna try
of this one and I think we’re gonna try and make that length the same as this
and make that length the same as this
and make that length the same as this one’s width so we’re just going to keep
one’s width so we’re just going to keep
one’s width so we’re just going to keep that cut going for I don’t know
that cut going for I don’t know
that cut going for I don’t know inch and a quarter inch and a half
inch and a quarter inch and a half
inch and a quarter inch and a half something like that it it’s it’s pretty
something like that it it’s it’s pretty
something like that it it’s it’s pretty loose and then we just need it wide
loose and then we just need it wide
loose and then we just need it wide enough that we can fit our washer on top
enough that we can fit our washer on top
enough that we can fit our washer on top of it okay we got briefly distracted by
of it okay we got briefly distracted by

a sudden and fairly intense hailstorm so
a sudden and fairly intense hailstorm so I might still be a little bit wet
I might still be a little bit wet
I might still be a little bit wet because I felt I needed to run around in
because I felt I needed to run around in
because I felt I needed to run around in that but we’re back and it’s time to
that but we’re back and it’s time to
that but we’re back and it’s time to continue with our build so we’ve got our
continue with our build so we’ve got our
continue with our build so we’ve got our pieces measured out and we’re gonna cut
pieces measured out and we’re gonna cut
pieces measured out and we’re gonna cut those out using the bandsaw
those out using the bandsaw
those out using the bandsaw if you don’t have bandsaw any other kind
if you don’t have bandsaw any other kind
if you don’t have bandsaw any other kind of saw will work pretty well it’s just
of saw will work pretty well it’s just
of saw will work pretty well it’s just convenient for what we’re doing
[Applause]
[Applause] [Music]
so at this point we’ve got our two
so at this point we’ve got our two pieces and let me know if I’ve got this
pieces and let me know if I’ve got this
pieces and let me know if I’ve got this right the idea of how this is going to
right the idea of how this is going to
right the idea of how this is going to work so we’re playing to put the
work so we’re playing to put the
work so we’re playing to put the all-thread right here the blade is gonna
all-thread right here the blade is gonna
all-thread right here the blade is gonna come up somewhere around right here
come up somewhere around right here
come up somewhere around right here probably yeah now about that yeah and
probably yeah now about that yeah and
probably yeah now about that yeah and then our smaller block is going to have
then our smaller block is going to have
then our smaller block is going to have sort of the ellipse
sort of the ellipse
sort of the ellipse shaped hole cut into it that’s gonna be
shaped hole cut into it that’s gonna be
shaped hole cut into it that’s gonna be a sloppy drawing perfect that hole will
a sloppy drawing perfect that hole will
a sloppy drawing perfect that hole will be cut out and it will fit around the
be cut out and it will fit around the
be cut out and it will fit around the all-thread
all-thread
all-thread so the all-thread will go right here
so the all-thread will go right here
so the all-thread will go right here through this block and it’ll be able to
through this block and it’ll be able to
through this block and it’ll be able to slide back and forth until we fix it
slide back and forth until we fix it
slide back and forth until we fix it down in place with the wing nut so we’ve
down in place with the wing nut so we’ve
down in place with the wing nut so we’ve got 5/16 inch threaded rod and what we
got 5/16 inch threaded rod and what we
got 5/16 inch threaded rod and what we want is for that rod to be in this block
want is for that rod to be in this block
want is for that rod to be in this block super tight so it’s never going to come
super tight so it’s never going to come
super tight so it’s never going to come out so we’re gonna drill our hole using
out so we’re gonna drill our hole using
out so we’re gonna drill our hole using an even smaller drill bit this is a 1/4
an even smaller drill bit this is a 1/4
an even smaller drill bit this is a 1/4 inch drill bit one quarter is four
inch drill bit one quarter is four
inch drill bit one quarter is four sixteenths the rod is five sixteenths
sixteenths the rod is five sixteenths
sixteenths the rod is five sixteenths that makes the rod a tiny bit larger
that makes the rod a tiny bit larger
that makes the rod a tiny bit larger than the drill bit so it should be in
than the drill bit so it should be in
than the drill bit so it should be in there really tight so we need to drill a
there really tight so we need to drill a
there really tight so we need to drill a hole into the block right here and we
hole into the block right here and we
hole into the block right here and we need to drill a hole in the block right
need to drill a hole in the block right
need to drill a hole in the block right here
so to hold our razor blade in place
so to hold our razor blade in place we’re gonna cut a slit down through part
we’re gonna cut a slit down through part
we’re gonna cut a slit down through part of this block we’re not gonna go all the
of this block we’re not gonna go all the
of this block we’re not gonna go all the way down we’re not removing a piece but
way down we’re not removing a piece but
way down we’re not removing a piece but we’re just making a slot that our razor
we’re just making a slot that our razor
we’re just making a slot that our razor blade can fit into
blade can fit into
blade can fit into we’ve got our bandsaw and we’ve got this
we’ve got our bandsaw and we’ve got this
we’ve got our bandsaw and we’ve got this jig set up that will hopefully let us
jig set up that will hopefully let us
jig set up that will hopefully let us cut perfectly straight into our block
cut perfectly straight into our block
cut perfectly straight into our block now we don’t want to cut the whole piece
now we don’t want to cut the whole piece
now we don’t want to cut the whole piece all the way off
all the way off
all the way off how far down about like that you hum
how far down about like that you hum
how far down about like that you hum yeah a little over twice as much as the
yeah a little over twice as much as the
yeah a little over twice as much as the distance okay
distance okay
distance okay [Music]
this mark was my first estimate of where
this mark was my first estimate of where to go
to go
to go Garrett suggested we go a little bit
Garrett suggested we go a little bit
Garrett suggested we go a little bit farther than that because this is
farther than that because this is
farther than that because this is basically our hinge it’s gonna be
basically our hinge it’s gonna be
basically our hinge it’s gonna be tightening down right where we drilled
tightening down right where we drilled
tightening down right where we drilled our hole and the razor blade is gonna be
our hole and the razor blade is gonna be
our hole and the razor blade is gonna be secured above that so if we’ve got a
secured above that so if we’ve got a
secured above that so if we’ve got a little bit more space we’ve got a little
little bit more space we’ve got a little
little bit more space we’ve got a little bit more leverage against our hinge and
bit more leverage against our hinge and
bit more leverage against our hinge and we can clamp it down nice and really
we can clamp it down nice and really
we can clamp it down nice and really tight now at this point if we put our
tight now at this point if we put our
tight now at this point if we put our all thread into this hole that we’ve
all thread into this hole that we’ve
all thread into this hole that we’ve drilled it would be really stuck and we
drilled it would be really stuck and we
drilled it would be really stuck and we wouldn’t really be able to squeeze this
wouldn’t really be able to squeeze this
wouldn’t really be able to squeeze this down to pinch our razor blade would we
down to pinch our razor blade would we
down to pinch our razor blade would we know okay so we’ll use a 5/16 inch drill
know okay so we’ll use a 5/16 inch drill
know okay so we’ll use a 5/16 inch drill bit to open up this front portion of the
bit to open up this front portion of the
bit to open up this front portion of the hole so that we can clamp down on the
hole so that we can clamp down on the
hole so that we can clamp down on the razor blade and we’ll move freely on the
razor blade and we’ll move freely on the
razor blade and we’ll move freely on the all-thread rather than being locked on
all-thread rather than being locked on
all-thread rather than being locked on so you can’t see too well inside this
so you can’t see too well inside this
so you can’t see too well inside this hole to know what’s going on but here’s
hole to know what’s going on but here’s
hole to know what’s going on but here’s the basic idea we drilled a hole that
the basic idea we drilled a hole that
the basic idea we drilled a hole that goes all the way down through the block
goes all the way down through the block
goes all the way down through the block about like that it’s one quarter of an
about like that it’s one quarter of an
about like that it’s one quarter of an inch wide but because we don’t want the
inch wide but because we don’t want the
inch wide but because we don’t want the all thread to bind on this part we then
all thread to bind on this part we then
all thread to bind on this part we then drilled a larger hole that goes wider
drilled a larger hole that goes wider
drilled a larger hole that goes wider than that one quarter this is our 5/16
than that one quarter this is our 5/16
than that one quarter this is our 5/16 inch hole so we have a wider hole
inch hole so we have a wider hole
inch hole so we have a wider hole through this portion and then it narrows
through this portion and then it narrows
through this portion and then it narrows down to one quarter inch for this
down to one quarter inch for this
down to one quarter inch for this portion this means the all thread should
portion this means the all thread should
portion this means the all thread should bind really well to the wood here but
bind really well to the wood here but
bind really well to the wood here but float in the drill hole on this portion
float in the drill hole on this portion
float in the drill hole on this portion up here it won’t be attached to it which
up here it won’t be attached to it which
up here it won’t be attached to it which is good because we need this to move
is good because we need this to move
is good because we need this to move just slightly in and out so now this
just slightly in and out so now this
just slightly in and out so now this piece we need to drill this long oval
piece we need to drill this long oval
piece we need to drill this long oval shaped hole sort of thing and once again
shaped hole sort of thing and once again
shaped hole sort of thing and once again this is something we don’t want to bind
this is something we don’t want to bind
this is something we don’t want to bind to the authority’ we want it to be able
to the authority’ we want it to be able
to the authority’ we want it to be able to float and slide back and forth so
to float and slide back and forth so
to float and slide back and forth so let’s keep using the 5/16 inch drill bit
let’s keep using the 5/16 inch drill bit
let’s keep using the 5/16 inch drill bit for this and what we’re just gonna do is
for this and what we’re just gonna do is
for this and what we’re just gonna do is set up a sort of brace and then we’re
set up a sort of brace and then we’re
set up a sort of brace and then we’re just gonna drill holes down in sequence
just gonna drill holes down in sequence
just gonna drill holes down in sequence making sort of a tunnel through the wood
making sort of a tunnel through the wood
making sort of a tunnel through the wood it’ll clean it up a file if we need to
all right we’ve got that hole cut out it
all right we’ve got that hole cut out it seems to slide pretty nicely on our all
seems to slide pretty nicely on our all
seems to slide pretty nicely on our all thread without it doesn’t have a ton of
thread without it doesn’t have a ton of
thread without it doesn’t have a ton of wiggle room which just it moves pretty
wiggle room which just it moves pretty
wiggle room which just it moves pretty easily now we need small thread we need
easily now we need small thread we need
easily now we need small thread we need all thread cut to fit into this hole and
all thread cut to fit into this hole and
all thread cut to fit into this hole and into that one all right we can take our
into that one all right we can take our
into that one all right we can take our drill bit that fits down into the hole
drill bit that fits down into the hole
drill bit that fits down into the hole we can measure see if we do it through
we can measure see if we do it through
we can measure see if we do it through the block we can see it should come to
the block we can see it should come to
the block we can see it should come to here to be level let’s add on about half
here to be level let’s add on about half
here to be level let’s add on about half an inch to it so we can just measure
an inch to it so we can just measure
an inch to it so we can just measure like that about how long we want this
like that about how long we want this
like that about how long we want this go
go
go [Music]
[Music]
[Music] so I like to put a little bit of
so I like to put a little bit of
so I like to put a little bit of superglue inside the hole and that just
superglue inside the hole and that just
superglue inside the hole and that just helps to lock it in place
helps to lock it in place
helps to lock it in place even more extra binding sounds like a
even more extra binding sounds like a
even more extra binding sounds like a plan all right so it can take a little
plan all right so it can take a little
plan all right so it can take a little bit of effort to get that hole to bind
bit of effort to get that hole to bind
bit of effort to get that hole to bind onto the edges at the all-thread but
onto the edges at the all-thread but
onto the edges at the all-thread but just push harder and you’re gonna want
just push harder and you’re gonna want
just push harder and you’re gonna want to use some pliers to grab onto the
to use some pliers to grab onto the
to use some pliers to grab onto the all-thread and just twist it onto the
all-thread and just twist it onto the
all-thread and just twist it onto the wood my arms getting tired let me take a
wood my arms getting tired let me take a
wood my arms getting tired let me take a turn yeah I’m so strong
turn yeah I’m so strong
turn yeah I’m so strong let’s see now someone else is doing the
let’s see now someone else is doing the
let’s see now someone else is doing the work that’s the key
all right now we can slide this back and
all right now we can slide this back and forth cinch it down using our all thread
forth cinch it down using our all thread
forth cinch it down using our all thread and the wingnut and it stays firmly in
and the wingnut and it stays firmly in
and the wingnut and it stays firmly in place
place
place brilliant same thing on the other side
so now we’ve got two adjustable points
so now we’ve got two adjustable points we can loosen and tighten this piece of
we can loosen and tighten this piece of
we can loosen and tighten this piece of the wood and then when we loosen this
the wood and then when we loosen this
the wood and then when we loosen this our little block on the top just slides
our little block on the top just slides
our little block on the top just slides back and forth what do we still need to
back and forth what do we still need to
back and forth what do we still need to do we need to put a plate in it we need
do we need to put a plate in it we need
do we need to put a plate in it we need to put a blade in it I usually like to
to put a blade in it I usually like to
to put a blade in it I usually like to use about an inch of blade so it has
use about an inch of blade so it has
use about an inch of blade so it has enough it’s nicely grip inside though so
enough it’s nicely grip inside though so
enough it’s nicely grip inside though so I’ve got too much here yes so we need to
I’ve got too much here yes so we need to
I’ve got too much here yes so we need to break off that’s what’s nice about these
break off that’s what’s nice about these
break off that’s what’s nice about these plates is you can take some set to
plates is you can take some set to
plates is you can take some set to whatever size you want all right
whatever size you want all right
whatever size you want all right sometimes razor blades go flying got our
sometimes razor blades go flying got our
sometimes razor blades go flying got our blade and we want to drop this down
blade and we want to drop this down
blade and we want to drop this down until most of it is hidden you only want
until most of it is hidden you only want
until most of it is hidden you only want like a little bit kind of sticking up at
like a little bit kind of sticking up at
like a little bit kind of sticking up at the top that’s maybe quarter of an inch
the top that’s maybe quarter of an inch
the top that’s maybe quarter of an inch maybe just over that right yeah the
maybe just over that right yeah the
maybe just over that right yeah the longest time all right now we just twist
longest time all right now we just twist
longest time all right now we just twist here on the side and that will pinch
here on the side and that will pinch
here on the side and that will pinch down on the blade holding it firmly in
down on the blade holding it firmly in
down on the blade holding it firmly in place we can adjust how thick we want
place we can adjust how thick we want
place we can adjust how thick we want our lace cutter to cut by moving this
our lace cutter to cut by moving this
our lace cutter to cut by moving this piece in and out Garrett is there
piece in and out Garrett is there
piece in and out Garrett is there anything else we want to do to this to
anything else we want to do to this to
anything else we want to do to this to really make it work just right so
really make it work just right so
really make it work just right so there’s one more optional thing that we
there’s one more optional thing that we
there’s one more optional thing that we can do you can take off this corner here
can do you can take off this corner here
can do you can take off this corner here because as the leather is running by the
because as the leather is running by the
because as the leather is running by the lace cutter sometimes it gets caught on
lace cutter sometimes it gets caught on
lace cutter sometimes it gets caught on this corner so if we just cut this
this corner so if we just cut this
this corner so if we just cut this corner off at a 45 degree angle it’ll
corner off at a 45 degree angle it’ll
corner off at a 45 degree angle it’ll help to cut the leather a little
help to cut the leather a little
help to cut the leather a little smoother
cool can we test it out yep time to test
cool can we test it out yep time to test it out test it out why are we using
it out test it out why are we using
it out test it out why are we using kangaroo hide for our way making
kangaroo hide for our way making
kangaroo hide for our way making kangaroo hide is the strongest leather
kangaroo hide is the strongest leather
kangaroo hide is the strongest leather in existence is basically no other
in existence is basically no other
in existence is basically no other leather that’s going to be stronger than
leather that’s going to be stronger than
leather that’s going to be stronger than Pinker your hides okay so we’re gonna be
Pinker your hides okay so we’re gonna be
Pinker your hides okay so we’re gonna be cutting around the circumference of the
cutting around the circumference of the
cutting around the circumference of the hide but as you can see it doesn’t have
hide but as you can see it doesn’t have
hide but as you can see it doesn’t have a very very smooth outline around the
a very very smooth outline around the
a very very smooth outline around the hide so we’re gonna need to do is trim
hide so we’re gonna need to do is trim
hide so we’re gonna need to do is trim it so we have a very smooth curvature
it so we have a very smooth curvature
it so we have a very smooth curvature around the entire hide which makes it
around the entire hide which makes it
around the entire hide which makes it easy to cut the lace these little points
easy to cut the lace these little points
easy to cut the lace these little points if we tried to pass that through our
if we tried to pass that through our
if we tried to pass that through our lace cutter we can’t really turn a sharp
lace cutter we can’t really turn a sharp
lace cutter we can’t really turn a sharp angle we just need it to be like a
angle we just need it to be like a
angle we just need it to be like a smooth transition so we’re gonna lose
smooth transition so we’re gonna lose
smooth transition so we’re gonna lose these little pointy bits on the edges
these little pointy bits on the edges
these little pointy bits on the edges I’m taking off these legs cuz the legs
I’m taking off these legs cuz the legs
I’m taking off these legs cuz the legs are easily pretty stretchy and it’s not
are easily pretty stretchy and it’s not
are easily pretty stretchy and it’s not the optimal leather to use
[Music]
[Music] do we want to try and get any lace off
do we want to try and get any lace off
do we want to try and get any lace off of this piece you just cut or do we want
of this piece you just cut or do we want
of this piece you just cut or do we want to go straight into the circuit we need
to go straight into the circuit we need
to go straight into the circuit we need to we want to keep these scrapped
to we want to keep these scrapped
to we want to keep these scrapped because we’ll use them for a little kind
because we’ll use them for a little kind
because we’ll use them for a little kind of rinky-dink things along the way but
of rinky-dink things along the way but
of rinky-dink things along the way but so don’t throw this away but don’t use
so don’t throw this away but don’t use
so don’t throw this away but don’t use it right now yeah so we’re not gonna get
it right now yeah so we’re not gonna get
it right now yeah so we’re not gonna get very good lace out of that but we can
very good lace out of that but we can
very good lace out of that but we can still get it’s a good use out of it okay
still get it’s a good use out of it okay
still get it’s a good use out of it okay okay so now that we have the kangaroo
okay so now that we have the kangaroo
okay so now that we have the kangaroo hide trimmed up we have a very nice
hide trimmed up we have a very nice
hide trimmed up we have a very nice curve around the entire kangaroo hide we
curve around the entire kangaroo hide we
curve around the entire kangaroo hide we can now begin to cut the lace I like to
can now begin to cut the lace I like to
can now begin to cut the lace I like to cut lace on the corner of like a table
cut lace on the corner of like a table
cut lace on the corner of like a table or a workbench or something like that so
or a workbench or something like that so
or a workbench or something like that so I have the kangaroo hide well braced on
I have the kangaroo hide well braced on
I have the kangaroo hide well braced on the table but I can have the edge of
the table but I can have the edge of
the table but I can have the edge of time working with free and I don’t have
time working with free and I don’t have
time working with free and I don’t have a table in my way so to start cutting
a table in my way so to start cutting
a table in my way so to start cutting we’re just going to start on an edge
we’re just going to start on an edge
we’re just going to start on an edge here and we’re going to take our blade
here and we’re going to take our blade
here and we’re going to take our blade and just kind of slowly push it in and
and just kind of slowly push it in and
and just kind of slowly push it in and we’re gonna start just kind of a little
we’re gonna start just kind of a little
we’re gonna start just kind of a little bit of a taper and get wider and wider
bit of a taper and get wider and wider
bit of a taper and get wider and wider and wider until we reach the full width
and wider until we reach the full width
and wider until we reach the full width that we’ve had it set to it’s right
that we’ve had it set to it’s right
that we’ve had it set to it’s right there now as we start cutting it’s
there now as we start cutting it’s
there now as we start cutting it’s really important to be holding the lace
really important to be holding the lace
really important to be holding the lace that you’re pulling through and pulling
that you’re pulling through and pulling
that you’re pulling through and pulling out a little bit of an angle pulling out
out a little bit of an angle pulling out
out a little bit of an angle pulling out an angle helps to keep tension on the
an angle helps to keep tension on the
an angle helps to keep tension on the lace cutter and the blade so you get a
lace cutter and the blade so you get a
lace cutter and the blade so you get a nice straight cut you have to be careful
nice straight cut you have to be careful
nice straight cut you have to be careful with fresh blades because they cut
with fresh blades because they cut
with fresh blades because they cut through the leather like butter and if
through the leather like butter and if
through the leather like butter and if you get excited you’ll just pull right
you get excited you’ll just pull right
you get excited you’ll just pull right through the leather in and your strand
through the leather in and your strand
through the leather in and your strand too early I did it Jeff sure I like to
too early I did it Jeff sure I like to
too early I did it Jeff sure I like to put my thumb kind of on top to help keep
put my thumb kind of on top to help keep
put my thumb kind of on top to help keep it flush
do I do anything special when I get back
do I do anything special when I get back to the starting point or do I just kind
to the starting point or do I just kind
to the starting point or do I just kind of keep circling through yeah just kind
of keep circling through yeah just kind
of keep circling through yeah just kind of keep circling through it that kind of
of keep circling through it that kind of
of keep circling through it that kind of knots will get taken away whenever you
knots will get taken away whenever you
knots will get taken away whenever you resize the strand so it feels like I
resize the strand so it feels like I
resize the strand so it feels like I could go a lot faster and you’re
could go a lot faster and you’re
could go a lot faster and you’re recommending I really don’t do that
recommending I really don’t do that
recommending I really don’t do that because I’ll probably end up
because I’ll probably end up
because I’ll probably end up accidentally just pulling the blade
accidentally just pulling the blade
accidentally just pulling the blade right through the edge of the level yeah
right through the edge of the level yeah
right through the edge of the level yeah it actually kind of gets a little bit
it actually kind of gets a little bit
it actually kind of gets a little bit easier as the blade dulls it just a
easier as the blade dulls it just a
easier as the blade dulls it just a little bit and you get a little bit of
little bit and you get a little bit of
little bit and you get a little bit of resistance it makes it easier to go a
resistance it makes it easier to go a
resistance it makes it easier to go a little bit faster without worrying about
little bit faster without worrying about
little bit faster without worrying about cutting through your strand it’s better
cutting through your strand it’s better
cutting through your strand it’s better to err on the side of cutting a little
to err on the side of cutting a little
to err on the side of cutting a little bit too thick because we can make it
bit too thick because we can make it
bit too thick because we can make it smaller so we can’t make it bigger yeah
smaller so we can’t make it bigger yeah
smaller so we can’t make it bigger yeah I think I made it all the way around
I think I made it all the way around
I think I made it all the way around once very cool very cool this lace
