Using a Aussie strander to strip up a off cut neck section of calf rawhide to make button string.

I've never tried rawhide platting, or cutting rawhide, this is an experiment applying a technique I use for thin leather or stretchy leather with my modified Aussie strander. modification is a hotel room key card slid under the fence, into the blade. blade is a no 11 scalpel canned against the cam lock. fence is cam locked at about 3.1mm. the washer has a kangaroo washer helping the blade stay put and the advantage is if the blade dulls it opens a gap from the cam allowing you to visually check the cant as well as hear the blade cutting.
I know nothing at all except for watching a couple of videos on KZbin. Shout out to @RawhideEli and his videos about cutting and preparing sogas or strips of rawhide. Trying to judge the temper in calf hide (0.4mm so super thin) is tougher to compare to cowhide ( about 3mm) so I don't know anything but observing and listening to the knife cut to go by.
I'm guessing it's a touch dry in the video, but that's Arizona for you, when I started it sounded different, even moving the blade didn't change the sound as it dried. I started with the cut offs of making a large oval-ish of the calf rawhide.
Goal here was having strips that I could resize into button string and bevel the edges with the finished string being 2mm.
