gtwister09 Report post Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) What an interesting thread. I will be honest I didn't look at this thread because more than 30 years ago I burned up a rotary tool when I was doing piece work for a western wear store. They had me do almost every piece that they ran through their store....anything that was leather and didn't have a finished edge was set aside for edging and burnishing before it was sold. I immediately made a replacement for a drill press on a lathe. Ed's comment and picture of his old burnisher in the Fantastic burnisher thread reminds me that we pursue the elusive edges and that as far as rotary burnishers that there isn't a lot of new items out there in the way of wood or felt. However I would like to see what the Fantastic's edge formula looks like in comparison with others. I shared over there that in visiting with many older saddlemakers that some of their rotary burnishers are over 60-70 plus years old. I know a bunch of people on the forum have shown or created rotary burnishers including some dremel based ones over the years (I certainly am interested in burnishers and have freely shared my insight on wood selection, steel inserts and designs with a couple of them so that they can produce them). Some of these that come to mind are DueceTrinial, leathermanxxxx (sorry don't remember numbers), Elton Jooristy, esantro, K-man, Dwight and antipaladin to name some. I am sure that you could find more of them but these are the ones that readily come to mind. I have talked with a couple of them and others have produced everything on their own. There are a lot of talented and creative people out there and even some that do quite a bit of research. Spinner.... Good luck with your efforts. Keep up the pursuit of great edges!
