Crosscut Zonkers... All DIY Suggestions Needed

Recommended Posts

Guest

Here you go all -

 

When I made the first one I looked at the one on youtube and thought that's an emergency room visit waiting to happen!!LOL I got the parts together and the first one I used carpet cutting blades, and then found the double edged blades. I got all the parts, you'll need lots of the washers

The first one with carpet cutting blades, the small spacers determine how wide your strips are

With double edged blades

These are mink straight cuts - from a fur coat my daughter sent me

in this picture on the right side of the fur you can see the long hairs and this is how you'll get your cross-cuts - if you have to cut one strip to get the right direction of the hair and then you'll know for sure which way to clamp your skin for cutting

Here's a bunch I've cut

No matter what you do you'll get fur flying until you get the right angle - I use a vacumn cleaner and suck up the loose fur. The loose fur you can use for dubbing and if you do alot of colors you can even try mix's.

 

Hope this helps!!
