Cutting Dies

[bainsk8]

Hi all, I am new to the forum or though followed it for some time now.

I am a bit of a diy metal worker and have limited tools/skills.

I need to get some basic cutting dies made for cutting leather which has a thickness of 0.5mm

As this is beyond my capabilities I was wondering if someone here would be able to help me, obviously I would pay for the dies.

If anyone here is interested can you please PM me.

Thank you.

The dies your wanting wouldn't be for something like watch straps would it :

No, what I need is custom for my needs only. I can provide drawings but do not want to post here.

Thank you.

Complexity of shape will be the deciding factor, a bit more info would be helpful

Think what your after is a steel rule die. It's what's used for cutting gaskets out and when I asked someone about them it turned out he used to make them when he worked at a boot factory near santapod. I was going to make one to cut out Perkins block gaskets. I woudln't be suprised if you could make them with a coping saw and not a lot of other tools, I was going to use old bandsaw
blade instead of die rule[or whatever it's called].

Cutting and creasing rules, I used to buy them from metal woods, at Market Harborough,
