Home Made Leather Splitter

Here's me, demonstrating how the splitter I made from scrap material at my house works. It was made out of the need for splitting kangaroo hide from 1mm to 0.5mm to be able to make a fancy, two-tone, 16-strand, riding crop.

The advantages are: very cheap (the main cost was buying the disposable blades), easy to make with tools available at most houses, and fast (it took a couple of hours to put it together.

Its disadvantages: You need a vise, a C-clamp, and its construction lends itself to some variation in the thickness whenever you change lace and set it up again to split.
