Thread: My Strops

Love the ideal with the covers. Might try to so the same to my single strop 😋 hope tinget a few more soon.

Its not really to dificult to make them. Just think about all the steps before you starting cutting and sewing. Get one step out of order and you will be ripping out stitches. And be sure to leave a bit of extra room. You dont want to fight the cover to slip it up the strop.

Good luck.

How does that Flax Fire Hose work for you?
Can you feel a difference?
Asking for a friend

C9mpared to the Flax strop i just got from scrupleworks, it comletely different. The firehose is a rougher feel where the flax linen is smooth. Its got some weave in the material like what was on seatbelt material back in the 70's. I still havent managed to get the ends on the flax firehose yet. I tried to C.A. one piece and the glue sucked into the leather piece and discoloered the leather badly so i need to figure another way to attach them. Dont think the wifes sewing machine can handle it so i might be punching holes and hand lacing them.

I like how the filled firehose turned out. Is still very flexable and is now flat and not cupped any more. The firahose works well, as it should and now has a better feel to it. Im happy with how it feels and looks. Soon as i manage to get caught up on a few of thsse projects ill post some pics of the two i built.
