@TinkerTailor Thank you for the perfect response. Appreciate the help. I have purchased some BK tools based on feedback from some other folks. I like them so far. I have also purchased several vintage tools. Vintage stuff really is so much nicer than todays items. Will take some of your advise and report back. Thank you again.

While I can certainly appreciate the non answer answer with the tone of sarcasm rudeness and all out unwillingness to help somebody new to the hobby, neither of the stickied tutorials clearly cover the edge work that I am most concerned with. If only the answer I was looking for was contained that might actually help me. But I'll keep hunting quietly. Thanks. For any member who might actually help could somebody explain border creasing and proper steps. I've tried many different approaches and just can't seem to get a nice rounded edge. Thank you.

Hello everyone. Just a quick question as to the best order of doing everything. A little background here I am just getting back in to making belts and wanted to see opinions on the best order of tooling this stuff out. I like the creased edge look as well so here is what I am doing. Any help with the order is of course appreciated. 1. Case the leather 2. Use a Tandy border tool and swivel knife blade to cut a small border around my belt 3. Use a Barry King Edge creaser to round over the edge 4. Perform some stamping around my piece 5. Bevel the border with a stamp 6. Push bevel the border to smooth it out 7. Cut the edge off with an edge beveler 8. Dye and finish the piece Let me know if there are better or more efficient approaches I could take. Again thank you all. Take care.

Looking for a Barry King Tools #3 Edge Beader. Please PM if you have one you'd like to sell. Thanks very much.

Did you purchase this somewhere? Thanks for the help so far everyone.

Hello everyone, Has anybody here ever seen an edge beveler that looks like the picture below? It goes over the leather differently than most bevelers I have seen from any of the major companies who make tools. Any help is appreciated.

Hi thanks. Those are actually what I have purchased unfortunately shipping easily doubled my cost and I only ordered 2 sets. I was just trying to see if there were a vendor in the US that had some.

I actually need longer than the 5/16 I did find one from Canada that worked but shipping is as much as 20 snaps.

Thanks. I'm actually looking for Caps as well. They only have eyelet.

Does anyone know where else to buy 3/8 post snaps like the ones listed above. Fasnap no longer seems to carry these.
