chouinardragon Report post Posted May 19, 2011 Hi guys, I recently research some leather artisans in France and found some of them use a machine to seal the edge and creat creases, even Hermes uses this machine. Pictures as attached. Does anyone know anything about it or where to buy it? Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted May 19, 2011 Hi Chris, This is the electric version of simple creasing tools (and shoemakers irons) that were heated over a little alcohol lamp and before that over a candle. They are used to smooth, burnish, and crease leather. What you see in the pictures is a custom electric tool for the production environment. Probably a 15 watt or so temperature limited heater (resistance goes up the hotter it gets).

KAYAK45 Report post Posted May 20, 2011 Make your own. A blade from any wood plane attached to a solder iron or hobby heating iron/embosser should do the trick. Dixon leather tools has the old style "edge Iron" heated by lamp (or blow torch). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Report post Posted May 20, 2011 Just go to a hobby store and get one, it won't be as impressive as those production units, but it will work. I have commercial irons that just come with a big tip that you machine to your specs, the tips screw on. Judging by the part number on one of tips in your pics, what you want or the parts at least are commercially available. Art Thanks ,Art. It seems that it's difficult to locate one.
