Looks like it is coming along nicely. The tool in the first photo is interesting. Is it made for corner cutting? I have been looking for something like that already made. An "edger" may help speed up your process for prepping those edges for burnishing. Just looks time consuming with the plane and sand paper, etc. Again, looks good. Keep is updated.......Rory

Looks like a gouge used in wood carving. Looks like I didn't need to buy large hole punches for inside corners, should have brought in the carving and lathe tools. I will definitely use the gouge for the outside corners instead of making another similar tool!

There are a number of woodworking tools that can be used for leather! Just need to wake up and see the possibilities.

Hi Northmount..yeah it does look like a gouge.. There's probably quite a few woodworking tools which can cross over for use in leatherwork, with a bit of thought..

I looked at a marking gauge the other day in a charity shop and wondered whether it would do for edge marking and making the recess for a stitching line too..maybe if the point was made a bit more blunt..

The only problem I could see with this is when marking curves and corners, perhaps..

Looks a lot like a scribe used in knifemaking to mark the center lines for the blade edge........Rory

So it's actually for leatherwork then, Hunio? Something I've not seen before.. You do a good job with it anyway.. ;)

That's exactly what they're for, scribing lines..usually in woodwork tho.. The picture is a bit posher than the one I've seen, but next time I'm in there, I think I'll purchase one..you never know..and the money does go to charity..lol :)
