Members K-Man Posted June 24, 2009 Author Members Report Posted June 24, 2009 Haven't experienced that, Larry. I've been using my own personal ones for about 2 years now. I've used a combination of beeswax and paraffin wax (merged together) on the edges of the leather, and recently started using fiebing's saddle soap.
Bree Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 (edited) I have been looking at these since KMan posted this. I am using Ivan's burnisher right now. I have turned some wooden ones for myself but not loaded them. However, I like the idea of metal burnishers and these look like they are very well machined. The price is good. So KMan can you give me the total length of the burnishers and the length of the stem. Also what are the cove diameters? Can we specify cove and depth or is it a standard for all of the burnishers?

esantoro Posted June 24, 2009 Report Posted June 24, 2009 I have Ivan's burnisher, cotton canvas, exotic hard wood slicker for drill press, and exotic hard wood burnishers on 1/8" spindles for the dremel/rotary tools. In the world of burnishing, it's nice to have options. Ideally , I'd like to use these aluminum burnishers with both my rotary tool and a drill press, though preference is for the rotary tool, and for a burnisher with core diameter between 1" and 3/4". I like the idea of having one burnisher for the thinner leathers one to two layers of 3/4oz to 5/6 oz and one for three layers of 5/6 oz. Ed http://www.waldenbags.com http://www.waldenbags.etsy.com
Members rickeyfro Posted June 24, 2009 Members Report Posted June 24, 2009 K man id like to get on the list for one of these. Rick
Members iwannabeacowboy Posted June 27, 2009 Members Report Posted June 27, 2009 I also would be interested in both sizes. Can you tell me what size the shank(shaft) size is. Thanks Charles I'm never to old to learn about all the things life brings along.
Members DanielSomerville Posted June 27, 2009 Members Report Posted June 27, 2009 Any chance of getting them sent to Canada, without costing an arm and a leg??? Daniel Somerville Dream like you will live forever, Live like you will die tomorrow.
Members Shorts Posted June 28, 2009 Members Report Posted June 28, 2009 Right this very minute. Just kidding. Let me know whenever you're ready. Kevin. I'm going to have to take a pass this time. I'm really pinching my belt this month and this wouldn't be a "necessary" item Maybe another time Thanks!
Members K-Man Posted June 28, 2009 Author Members Report Posted June 28, 2009 Bree: The overall length of the burnishers, with shaft, is 3 1/8". I don't have the tools to measure the depth of the coves. I can say that it increases slightly in depth as you move up in width. iwannabeacowboy: The diameter of the shaft/spindle is 3/8"; the length is 1". rickeyfro: Send me a pm and we can get you in line for one or both, however you would like to do that. DanielSomerville: Send me a pm with your shipping address and I can provide you with a quote on the shipping. Shouldn't be too much, as the package weight is less than a pound. Shorts: No problem. Give me a shout if you have any questions.
Members K-Man Posted July 1, 2009 Author Members Report Posted July 1, 2009 I'd be interested in two if they can be made to fit a rotary tool. The spindle would need to be between 1/8" and 5/32" in thickness.ed Ed: We can make it for a spindle in that size in order to fit in a rotary tool. The price would be the same - $22.50/each. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted July 4, 2009 Members Report Posted July 4, 2009 Hey Kevin. I just now found this post or I would have answered sooner. I know cost would be much higher, but what are the odds of getting these made in stainless as a one off?
