I saw the edge glider on Etsy. It seems a good product, prima facie but it appear to be rather  small. Also rather expensive.

it is supposed to work for most edge finishing.

Has anyone tried it?

Just noticed that the prototypes are selling on Etsy for about a tenth of the price, in case anyone wants to try it. Nearly sold out though.

+1. Same here. What is it? I've never heard of an, "Edge Glider". Looking it up and all I get is lazy boy chairs and those exercise machine you always see people throwing away.

LOL. I came across it by chance.

It burnishes edges. You keep your leather flat on a surface and run the glider against the edges to burnish.

Thanks @Dwight. I was trying to get video to show it here. It seems very tiny to me.

So my old piece of beech should now be replaced with an expensive wotsit

For that's how I usually use Ol' Faithful # 22

@fredk Your old piece of beech looks more comfortable to use. This thing is barely an inch or two across. Tiny!

I gave in and bought a prototype. I received it yesterday. It is small but very light and surprisingly easy to work with. Not yet used it on chrome tanned leather but will, sometime this week. I will update this post after that.

My experience is that you can not burnish chrome tan. I use a soldering iron after lubing the edge.
