This is my first video of a string cutter that I have designed. The string cutter actually consists of two separate units which I explain in the video.
When friends have an old horse die , they call me & I go skin it. I have almost sold all of the first batch of these ( one left) . This first batch were $600 , plus shipping . My machinist has told me that he underestimated the amount of work , so the next batch will cost $700 , plus shipping. My phone number is 318 992 1955.
Years ago I learned from an older instructor to mark the blade's cutting edge with magic marker. It makes it easy to see what part of the blade has been used.
These tools already cost too much to produce to add another feature . I have had quite a time even finding a machine shop to build them. They can work for the oilfield business here in Louisiana & make far more money than they can building these tools. Getting the little nuances right takes very careful work on their part.
I have just picked up my first batch of string cutters from the machine shop. All but 2 of them are sold. These first ones are going to cost $600 plus shipping. My machinist tells me that he underestimated the amount of hours involved , so the next batch will cost $750 plus shipping. This is somewhat higher than other string cutters , but you do not have to also buy a splitter. I look at it this way , for the price of 3 bosals , you can buy the most sophisticated string cutter on the planet.
Very good tool Mr. Len Yule: those two styles are to make cuts in angle of 90 and 45 degrees sir. and they are excellent tools. but when you want to thin the leather on top and bottom how you do that, do you have another tool or use these? and if you have another string cutter it would be great if you made another video showing us that tool Mr. Len Yule! Thank you for showing us your invention and greetings from SONORA Mex.

@@jobquijada9496 , I have sold all but one set of the first batch . I will be leaving for my summer home in Ireland on May 29. I will be in Ireland until late September. My machinist may start another batch before we leave otherwise they will be available early October.
