Using Edger

[Craftt]

hi there

Need some help with edging an inside 90* corner. example if you are making a case to hold cards or a knife sheath like in Al Stolman's book where you fold the leather over the knife and put the loop to the back.

I think what you wanna do and it kind of says this in the book is use a hole punch to punch out the 90* bend. This will give a slight bevel to the edge anyways. If you are edging I use the regular edgers for the corner work, its kind of a pain but you can start toward the center of the 90 and work out in both directions.

If you are doing this on the flesh side I take a small razor and after doing as above will use the knife on the little bit if any left at the center of the 90.

Usually though you can make the 90 with the regular edger if its nice and sharp (not the keen edge type).

Hope this helps some.
