Members SUP Posted January 27 Members Report Posted January 27 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? Quote Learning is a life-long journey.
Members SUP Posted January 27 Author Members Report Posted January 27 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. Quote Learning is a life-long journey.

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. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1807397541/the-edge-glider-tabletop-leather?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=edge+glider&ref=sc_gallery-1-2&frs=1&sca=1&sts=1&search_preloaded_img=1&plkey=1191c7b762f34dafc7052fc501f9ebbce7ae325f%3A1807397541 The URL below is for the prototypes, in case anyone wants to purchase one. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1859316067/edge-glider-prototypes?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=edge+glider&ref=sr_gallery-1-2&frs=1&cns=1&sts=1&content_source=9755d8b3a776149bd74b0a078e36c3a52a48ec53%3A1859316067&search_preloaded_img=1&organic_search_click=1 Thanks @Dwight.

Contributing Member fredk Posted January 27 Contributing Member Report Posted January 27 So my old piece of beech should now be replaced with an expensive wotsit For that's how I usually use Ol' Faithful # 22 Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members SUP Posted January 27 Author Members Report Posted January 27 @fredk Your old piece of beech looks more comfortable to use. This thing is barely an inch or two across. Tiny! Quote Learning is a life-long journey.
Members SUP Posted February 3 Author Members Report Posted February 3 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. Quote Learning is a life-long journey.

I use a soldering iron after lubing the edge. kgg Quote Juki DNU - 1541S, Juki DU - 1181N, Singer 29K - 71(1949), Chinese Patcher (Tinkers Delight), Warlock TSC-441, Techsew 2750 Pro, Consew DCS-S4 Skiver
