  1. Yes Jérome's Awl for me the world best alenes of the world,and thanks too for your words.
  2. Be very welcome here dear! there is no captcha here!
  3. a little more work on the ergonomics of the handle and it will be a very good tool I'm sure.
  4. and then there are so many other sites and addresses on the net that sell the same Chinese junk that it can't be that hard to do without them...temporarily
  5. i use this, because i have it,but it works too with tools to heat with alcool.
  6. yes with a electric edge creaser for example but there is other way.
  7. not sure if the Tokonole works on greasy leather. If I were you, I'd give it a try by lightly burning the edges and waxing them.
  8. it's not my glass of wine, but I'll admit it's a great job. ! et surtout un tres beau boulot de repoussage!

  11. Welcome here Flora et bienvenue!
  12. Yeah, that's normal, though they might as well give you a piece without the marbling.you can always refuse the product and ask them for a clean piece.
  13. to have a clean edge, you have to cut the two pieces of leather together and at the same time once sewn, then, without sanding, pass either an acrylic primer and then sand and then pass the color of edge giardini style, and then sand again and put a new coat of paint.me I cut and then I pass tragacante gum,burnishing, I sand and wax with beeswax several times, burnishing,but before I passed the carnuba wax.
  14. i also live in south of france, but,it's not the reason i used,some times neoprene glue,or wood glue ( Titebond original wood glue or sader bois ) depending the work. If i m sure of me i used neopren ( contact glue) if i need some time to adjust my work i used wood glue,and i prefer Titbond because it's stay hard when dry it's more easy to sand.I used sader-patex wood glue white when i have very small thing to adjust before stitching. one tip, for neopren ( contact glue ) i love Limpiprene it's a glue used by plumbers it's clear once dry. And i also use fish glue,or skin rabit glue,or bone glue for very other special works,but it's not the matter of this post not what this thread is about.
  15. lanolin or shea oil. You could use too neatsfoot oil but the odor is special.
  16. Its not my glass of wine,but its a really nice work well done!

  18. ah but certainly quite exact I also use it to waterproof and shine wooden pieces, it's highly recommended. And yes i know the carnuba cream of Fiebings which is an EXCELLENT product...but there is not only carnuba wax in...and i use it too. Yes, and for this reason I never prepare very large quantities in advance.
  19. I don't understand the meaning of your question. I use it only for edges.
  20. yes, with a good preparation of the edge, and with a soft cloth it remains very shiny but not mirrored. with the time...! yes, with a good preparation of the edge, and with a soft cloth it remains very shiny but not mirrored. but for people who don't want to wait, we can also melt it in a bain-marie.
