leatherman1457 Report post 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. I ship first class mail and first class mail international. it totals 70.98 for the set The drill press burnishers and the bench grinder sells for 49.99 + 5.99 shipping . For a total of 55.98 anywhere in the worrld. Please visit my website for more items That I make.

Mijo Report post 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
