Hi everyone! When using Edge Kote or anything of the like, what's the most effective and clean way of cleaning up the dried coating from the surface of the leather without peeling the edges? Thanks!

Prepping for a run of belts with 10-11oz. Wickett & Craig Traditional Harness Leather. Wondering who has had success with burnishing the edges with these hides, as I've heard they can be tricky?

I was wondering if yall sand yalls edges before burnishing. I started sanding with a 220 grut and get them smooth and then burnish. Always liked the way they turned out but was wondering if it was just an unnecessary step as I have been getting behind on orders.

Hello All! My buddy picked up this tool at an estate sale... is it what I think it is? Is this an edging tool that I can heat up the head and use to melt the beeswax into the edges of my work? Please say it is, I've been looking for one of these for so long (that didn't cost an arm and a leg). There...

If you could describe this possible stitching/edging procedure, what do you think it is? sam

Hello, Went to a store today that had really nice wallet edges that were painted with an alcohol or oil dye instead of edge paint. They looked really good so I want to try to replicate it. Does anyone have any recommendations, maybe Fiebings, for a dye to use on edges? I'm really confused about...

Maybe one of you minds sharing the secret of good clean edge paint with me? I spent the last two weekends trying to figure that out myself and the only thing I learned is how hard it is to peel that stuff off my edges once I screwed it. I'm working a lot of thin leather (1-2 oz) and sometimes it's h...

Hi Folks I have little idea on what heated tools like the soldering irons with creasers or edgers do that make them worth buying rather than for instance using the edge paints that are available Have seen the various hermes and like on youtube and they seem to prefer heat to other means, a...

I didn't really know what tags to use. I normally make one sheath at a time, for a man who makes one knife at a time, as he feels like making it in the moment. Then he got an order for 8 -- these six are for members of a military unit, and they're special. A friend of the client, who's not in the...

Hi everyone, Been googling all over and finding tonnes of great info around burnishing and using edge paint. Where I’m stuck for this project is dealing with edges on a single piece of leather (I think chrome tanned - certainly not easy to burnish) so the flesh side is exposed. This happen...

Hey all, i recently acquired 5sq ft of elephant that I'm going to use as trim for a duffle bag. The bulk of the bag is going to be black bridle and the elephant will go on the handle. Front flap, and sides. I know how to burnish the bridle, but I'm wondering about the elephant. Any thoug...

Hi there! I am a beginner and pretty much self taught. I am interested in learning how to do the lattice work on this bag. I have figured out the measuring, cutting and bevelings, but finishing the edges of the open squares is throwing me for a loop. The openings are too small for my burnishing too...

Hi I'm just about to make my first belts and wallets to get me started. I was wondering about wallet edges. Whilst I like the rustic look with bevelled edges / painted edges do you think most customers prefer folded edges? (So the edge isn't exposed if you know what I mean)

Hello:) This is my first post, and I'm not sure it's right section. English is not my native language, so I please your indulgence So, I'd like to ask what method and what kind of leather is this belt made? In the product description is information: "oil washed vegetable tanned leather",... -
Hello all, A lot of us seem to have one common problem and it is Edge Coating. Currently, I am using Fiebing's Edge Kote and then I apply Fiebing's Tan Kote over it, to prevent edges from colouring arms. BUT, I still get stained hands when the place gets damp. Would anyone, please, give a...

I need to make a lightweight strap for a small bag, and im not in love with having a raw side exposed. How is a strap like this done? It looks like its finished on both sides but no stitching. I don't know if I would want to rely on glue for such an important component.. Either way I was thinking o... -
was hoping a few folks would share their experiences using sharpies, copic markers etc for edges and coloring in blemishes, i am new to leatherwork, still experimenting, and have looked on the forums here and would like to fund out more about what worked for you and what didn't specifically, 1. wh... -
Hello, I'm somewhat new to leather working....with veg tanned cow hide that is. I've used deer and elk hide over the years to make bags, moccasins, clothing, etc. Now I want to get away from the Native American style leatherwork I have been doing and going to more traditional leatherwork. I st...

This is the first sheath I've made in full since joining. So my stitching holes are made with an awl, and I use hidepounder's edge technique, and I read a lot about finishes. I have an almost half-full bottle of the old formulation of Super Sheen, which I haven't used before and prolly won't again...

The Tractor Supply near me has Fiebings' paste sadde soap in a tin like shoe polish, or a liquid glycerine saddle soap in a bottle. Which would I use for burnishing edges of knife sheaths? My first thought would be the paste, but I'm happy to be wrong.
