New To Leather Need Advice On The Tools I Need

[busted]

Bruce is right, Weaver Leather sells them. The one you are looking at is a single edge beveler they are around 3 or 4 hundred. The 4 edge's at once cost around 800 when all is said and done both are manually operated. You will need to setup an account with Weavers with a tax number they do not sell to the general public since they got bought out 2 or 3 years ago. Good luck.

Hi does anyone know the name of this tool and where I can by one. Been searching the internet for hours and have not found out the name.

Thank you

depending on the leather you use you may not get the edges to come out as nice as you would like, get some samples. any upholstery type leather is going to have furry edges for the most part.

it also depends on how many you want. if your going to be making thousands then u will need to buy some equipment. if you need hundreds then i would suggest finding the leather and making a pattern for it, then get a die made so you can have someone with a clicker cut the parts out of the leather for you, you will need to pay them for this service probably but you will get the most out of your leather and your edges will be a lot nicer and you may not need to edge bevel them. if your leather is thin then the beveling isn't going to do much anyways. the die will cost you maybe 50 bucks depending on the intricacy of the design. but the time you will be saving and the quality of your finished product is well worth it. if you try and cut out hundreds by hand with a utility knife you will not get those nice rounded corners.

i have a keychain like this and it cost me like 40 bucks but i was supporting a local business that has made a big impact on the "fashion" industry and i was also trying to get my foot in the door with them for a few other projects.

if you want to make these out of veg tan leather and dye them yourself you can get great looking edges also but then you have to make sure you dye them properly and finish them and even then you may have an issue with the color coming off so i would recommend looking around and seeing where you can get that same kind of leather from

pm me if you have any more questions and ill call ya and answer anything i can

good luck
