Members Schroedc Posted December 6, 2016 Members Report Posted December 6, 2016 I found this forum through a gentleman named Neal Yeager. I'm mainly a woodworker/woodturner for a living but have been using more and more leather in my shop to enhance some of what I make. Neal had asked for a pair of burnishing tools to fit a dremel and mentioned this site as a great resource. Looking forward to learning the right way to do things Quote
bikermutt07 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Posted December 6, 2016 Nice looking burnishers. What kind of leather products are you making? Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members Schroedc Posted December 6, 2016 Author Members Report Posted December 6, 2016 So far I've been doing some basic sheaths for knives, the occasional plain belt and leather inserts in tabletops. Quote

Members Halitech Posted December 7, 2016 Members Report Posted December 7, 2016 nice looking burnishers. What kind of price are you charging for them? Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?

I've been getting 30.00 a set plus postage. Those are made out of Cocobolo, I've also done them out of Osage and other woods. Quote
Members Halitech Posted December 7, 2016 Members Report Posted December 7, 2016 not a bad price. if my local guy fails to deliver I may get a set from you Quote Every day you learn something is a good day. If you don't learn something every day, was it worth waking up for?
