Burnishing Tools

[dpip4x4]

So I haven't been doing this as long as most of you have, just my first year of this still. I get as many tools as i can when i can afford them. I received my leather burnishers.com cocobolo drill style holster makers special on Friday. http://www.leatherburnishers.com/Burnishers_for_Drills.html I can not tell you how much of a difference this has made. I made a couple of oak pieces to do the same and i have the tandy plastic wheel and hand burnisher tool, this tool has taken my edges to a whole new level. I just can not endorse them enough and for the price $38 shipped WOW!! You owe it to yourselves to just try one i guarantee you won't be disappointed.

I've been using Bearmans burnishers for a number of years now and absolutely LOVE them. I would have to say the maul he made for me is my absolute favorite tool on the desk, followed closely by the burnishers.

I am an instant gratification person. Couldn't wait.

I've got a burnisher exactly like the holstermakers special made out of 304 SS attached to a 1/3HP 1750 rpm motor it was a gift from a machinist buddy who over heard me talking to some one about the tool. it works fabulous but I still find my self using my cherry wood hand made burnisher and delrin Tandy stlye burnisher

I bought one this year. Makes quick work of making super nice edges. Worth every penny.

I wish I could get a nice stainless steel one. Sadly, I do not have any friends that are machinists to make one for me...sounds like it would work nicely...

I've had Bearman's Holster Maker Burnisher for a couple of years now, it does a good job, however, I still mostly hand burnish, I can't get as good of an edge with the cocobolo that I can from my hand burnishers, I have several wooden hand burnishers (never liked the plastic ones from Tandy) and I seem to have better control and get a better edge from them. Everyone else seems to really like these burnishers, maybe I'm doing something wrong with it. Don't get me wrong it will put a slicked edge on the piece, just not as good of an edge as I can get with a hand burnisher and/or canvas. I use it to start the edge, then I normally finish the edge by hand.
