Midline attachable leather cambium saver

Okay Rich when you see this, or others who have made one....post some pics and how you attached the velcro or other zipper like device. I am this far and need to add some sort of closure to the opening side.

It is in my last video, but sew or stitch Velcro strips along the previous seem, than at the ends add the wrap around kind of velcro.
Looking good.

One side done.

Damn, you do nice work, sir.

I sure do like my industrial sewing machine, won't tell you how long it took me.

...won't tell you how long it took me.

Just don't tell me how much it cost you. I want one, but I'm scared to even ask what they go for.

Using a speedy stich is certainly a mind cleansing event, it took me a beer and a shot to get this half done.

Love my speedy stitcher. That thing can punch through some tough material. Nice work ML!

Having the holes from previous stitches helps too.

Yes it does. Without them that stitching would of looked like a drunken line painter did them.

Second side done. What are the extra end straps for Rich?

They keep the ends from opening so easily. Otherwise a branch will split it open like you will do with your finger.

Thanks Rich. I got about 3 hours invested in it so far, last thing I need is it staying aloft. Imight just have to fell a tree if that happens.

Perhaps not as much as you think. I got a used Consew 226 for about $700. Got it for a little side business making some winter camping equipment. Paid for itself and then some...

...not as much as you think...

You're right... that's not as much as I thought...

Different kind of machine. Richard has a CNC tacking machine.

I'm thinking of getting one of these leather savers to install (either velcro, restitch or slide on) on a flipline as a kind of replaceable sacrificial protection for the rope cover against nicks and such - most nicks for me happen around 2' from the main connecting end of my flipline.

Does anyone have any experience/opinions on this idea?
Would the leather take to reshaping itself in a half straight/half curved configuration?

Thanks

Just a superb idea - Richard Mumford striking gold again!

Have you tried 1" tubular webbing, put a little shoe goo or fabric paint to stiffening it up a little bit.
Cheap and pulls thru croches better.
