Jimmy McLaughlin Posted January 1, 2017 Report Posted January 1, 2017 I purchased this from e bay along with other used leather working tools. Is this heating Iron used in saddle making? Jim Quote
ChicagoScreech Posted January 2, 2017 Report Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) From what I've seen, it seems like things like that are used for burnishing without using friction/force to generate heat (especially with thin soft leather). Also when using like a wax based substance on edges it liquefies and lets it penetrate easily. Could also probably use it as a "hot" bone folder for heat molding leather.. But I'm a newbie, so not 100% on uses Edited January 2, 2017 by ChicagoScreech Quote
