Lwleather Report post Posted October 4, 2009 I'm looking for what I think is called a beading tool or a beader. It is used to make that bead, groove or crease on the outside edge of leather, like on belts and saddle bags. Any help would be appreciated if anyone has one or where I can find one. Thanks in advance!! Lisa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hidepounder Report post Posted October 5, 2009 Hi Lisa, Creasers or Beaders can frequently be found on ebay in Leather Tools. There are often old Osbornes anf Gomphs available. I would recommend calling Bob Douglas....he deals in the old good tools and will have some nice ones on hand. They are also available from Jeremiah Watt who manufactures his own. Osborne probably still makes them but the old tools are better. Hope this helps....

phillipsimsleatherwork Report post Posted October 6, 2009 Those guys at Douglas Tools have some really awesome tools and are really helpful. I saw them at the Wichita Falls roundup and they have so many nice tools and really helped me alot in a few areas. Phillip Sims Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted October 6, 2009 Jeremiah only is making one size and it will work if you need a really narrow bead. Barry King makes the push beaders in four sizes and I like them pretty well. I would agree with the suggestion of Bob Douglas also. I ordered a set of new Osbornes a few years ago and they were the crude makings of a tool, and all but unusable the way they came. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
