leatherman1457 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Posted April 11, 2012 Hi everyone. been awhile. Been busy making burnishers for tradeshows so I have not been able to post for awhile. I make busnishers for leatherworkers. I make them to fit into a dremel or for drill presses and bench grinders. I try to cover all the bases and am always coming up with new tools. I make these here in Santa Fe New Mexico where I live. Since I am a one man operation I can only make so many to sell but do keep up. Here is a description of them The first set is a 5 piece set made for a dremel tool . It has a 1/8" shaft made to fit standard collets in a dremel or rotary tool. I have made 4 burnishers and a stand for this set.this is what is in the set. 1) 1/2" cove burnisher 2) 1/4" cove burnisher 3) 1/8" cove burnisher 4) cone burnisher 5) hardwood stand Cove burnishers are made to handle leather from 2 oz to 10 oz with eze. The cone burnishers was developed to get into those tight places and belt slots and filgree work. The second picture shows the drill press and bench grinder burnishers. The drill press burnisher has 4 grooves from 1/2" to 1/8" and a nipple on the end. it is 6" total length. The bench grinder burnisher is 1 3/4" X 1 3/4" and also has 4 grooves ranging from 1/2" to 1/8" All of the tools are made from cocobolo. Dalgerbia Retusa. comes from Central America. Coveted by leatherworkers because of it's durability and natural beauty Also for it's natural oils in the wood. The price for the 5 pc. set is 64.99 + 5.99 for shipping world wide.

Members Mijo Posted April 11, 2012 Members Report Posted April 11, 2012 Leatherman, i'd be interested in one of your burnishers with the "nipple" if it was made for a dremel rather than a drill press. ideally I would be using this burnisher for eyelets and tight areas. Also I'm interested in a dremel burnisher that can easily accomodate canvas, currently I'm wrapping strips of canvas and duct taping the ends to a dremel burnisher. Please let me know if you can make this custom dremel burnishers...

leatherman1457 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Posted April 12, 2012 Mijo, I have been trying to figure out how to make a dremel size burnisher made with canvas. I have thought long and hard for a couple of months . once I have done my show in sheridan I will be able to spend more time on it. I will let you know when I do get it made.

He is in critical but stable condition. They still do not know how much brain damage he's sustained. A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot."
