Nice job of simple engineering! I absolutely love the simplicity of your design! Thank you for sharing! I was looking for an easy way to thin down a leather strap. I looked at quite a few other designs people came up with, but it would take several hours to build one like theirs. You have came to my rescue with this! Thanks much! I hope you continue to try coming up with other inventions!

amazingly simple😀👍 .... like woodworker Mr. Paul Sellers approach ... "poor man's tool" 😀 ...thank you very much for great and simple idea

So simple. Glad I found this video. Thanks!

Wow great. Going to try it now, while in the freezing garage. Thats haw excited i am to try out

Man! Why didn't I think this up on my own? I figured out using a razor blade and clamps, but didn't think up making a ramp in the board. Great stuff! Thanks!

YOU SOLVED THE MILLION DOLLAR PROBLEM. Now I can split few leather straps for my watch strap work without spending 1000 bucks on a splitter.

I can say nothing more, than to say Thanks Jared!

This help me understand the simple mechanics involved, now it's not that hard to engineer a dedicated block which is more permanent.

Too cool.Simple is good. Thanks for sharing and taking time to make a video for us.

Be careful pushing toward a sharp blade with your fingers. Use pliers to start it. I learned the hard way. Once it’s thru you can safely pull.

Awesome idea. I relace baseball gloves and sometimes need to split the lace that goes in the palm and the in the finger hole in the back. Brilliant idea.

Now if only you could patent this idea. My dad built all kinds of things and then you'd see other people a year later using his idea everywhere. It's simple and it works great and no one else thought of it. Pat yourself on the back and tell yourself Atta Boy!! You don't hear it often enough! You get one from me too! Atta Boy! Nice thinking!

this is just the way I want it! out of nothing ! Thanks for sharing man.

I was thinking of making one similar with a longer, thinner channel with a more shallow slope. I also wanted metal or wood T channels on either side and the length of the grove. They would have been used to stabilize the blade. Where you are pulling away from the board, I was thinking of pulling into the board. Anyway nice, simple concept and much less expensive. Donald

Thanks, I have been looking for an inexpensive way to skive leather.

Great idea thanks for the tip.

Thanks! Great idea. I will definitely use this technique Freddie

Thanks for sharing! Great technique!

Thanks for this! Trying to skive 8-9 down to about 1-2oz on a strap.

Genius!! Thx!!!!!!!!

you sir, are a genius

Thank you for sharing .

Thank you so much

BRILLIANT!

love it

wow good idea thanks for sharing

BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks man.!

Love it!!!!! Thanks :D

brilliant, thanks!

clever

genius!

Music is louder than your background voice

FAN-bloody-TASTIC,AWESOME design, now i know what to do . THANKS FOR THIS BRILLIANT VID.
