Awesome

Leathercraft library has a video of the stitch, I have watched but haven't tried it yet.

NeonKat, sounds great! But I am having a lot of fun with my whizbang contraption Also, I am an OTR driver and get 18 to 35 hours total every other week or so. This includes sleep, laundry, family time and my leather time. So any time advantage I can gain is truly appreciated...

Using two dual groove pulleys gives me four options, Rusty and I will cover two with leather and canvas and one will have a v-belt cemented in (grooved w/ a rat tail) haven't considered using the bare metal...

Wasn't for sure where to post this, so moderators, place it where you will! I have been looking for a solution to edge finishing and everything I have been able to locate has been out of my budget... Sooooo, being an enterprising geek I sat down and thought about what I needed. 1 friction 2 heat (caused by number one) 3 application on finishes and waxes 4 much shininess hmmmm spinny things oughta do the job Shopping list: Bench Grinder, Lowes $47 2 dual sheaves (pulleys) 1/2 inch bore Grizzly Tools $10.50 each Speed control, Harbor Freight $19.00 Rusty from Springfield Leather.... Priceless! Take your handy dandy screwdriver and remove the guards, then take a pair of pliers and remove the nut from the wheel so you can remove the grinding stone remove the metal washer from behind the grinding stone now remove the three screws holding the inner guard shield remove the inner guard shield.... we don't need no stinking safety shields! now, grab your dual sheave... see, two slots remember the 1/2 inch bore? Place the sheave on the grinder shaft and tighten the allen screw... don't forget to tighten this thing or it will come off of the grinder at mach 4.187 and careen around the house ending up cracking the door on one of your wifes cabinets.... well, like I said, tighten the allen screw grab your speed controller and plug it into the wall, then plug your new edge finisher into the speed control thats it for this installment, Rusty from Springfield Leather told me to bring in the sheaves and we would build the edge finishing grooves into the sheaves. I will post the rest of this epic quest at that time cheers MojoGeo
