Leatherburnishers.com ... Anyone Have Their Tools?

[RoosterShooter]

I contacted him this afternoon. I want to order some dremel tools to begin. Then the others in a couple of weeks. How long does it take him to get back to you guys?

Not in a hurry ... just curious.

Thanks.

I do...great workmanship! Definitely would recommend them highly!!

Not like you need another opinion, but I'll add mine anyway. I have a set three Drexel burnishers from Ed and Beary. These really are a great investment. Cut down a lot of time and effort when burnishing. The deference really os something.

Beary's pretty quick most of the time but as a rule of thumb I usually give small shops like mine 24-48 hours to get back to me...then again, it only takes that long for me to forget I sent the request in the first place most days so the reply is a pleasant surprise. LOL

I ordered mine last week. He said he was getting ready for a show and vacation so the order may take a little longer than usual. No problem for me... I'm not in a hurry either.

I have one of spinners original drill press burnishers but dropped it on cement when the chuck fell out. It cracked the end but still works just fine. I decided to order one from Beary on Sept 25th as a back up just in case I drop it again and it splits.

Hey Andy,

Two things, just realized you changed your business name! Second, I just saw you're in La Verne...you're only 20-30 minutes from me, we should hang out and talk shop sometime.

Hey Chris,

Just saw this post! Yeah you're really close by. How's your leather biz these days? I do enough to keep me as busy as I want to be, considering I have very little free time that's not saying much! Haha!

Yeah, changed my name as I wanted to develop a brand that more suits my style and interests.

Edit P.S.

Just got my burnisher in and it is amazing! I wishi had bought one of these sooner... As in years ago! I've been just suffering with that crappy plastic wheel from Tandy. This burnisher should be a required tool on any respectable bench! Lol! My edges have never looked better. I started using a method I read on here somewhere, spray a tad of water into my saddle soap tin, apply a little with my finger along my edges and burnish away with the tool. Works perfect.

Hi Andy,

I just noticed your post. I'm glad you like the burnisher so much! I will pass the info on to Beary,,, I'm sure he'll appreciate the comments.

I just got my dremel burnishers last week.

They work very well, though I have to fiddle with my technique to get it perfect. You have to sand the edges to make them round, as the tool will not round it for you. When I used the plastic tandy thing, I was exerting enough pressure to round the leather at the same time so I didn't have to sand it. I use the lowest speed on my dremel and even slight pressure causes it to slow down (I have the dremel attachment that's on a cable so I don't have to lift the whole tool every time). If you go too fast, you burn the leather, which is evidenced by the smell!

So far I'm loving it, and it will save a lot of time. It's not as easy as it looks, however, and will take some practice to get it just right.
