      Can you help me a litlle bit, i'm the new one in this job, and i buy one chrome tan leather, now i know i can't burnishing that edge leather..
      Tell me wich paint its best for begginers to paint chrome edge..
      I relay look so many video, and i'm confused, some people paint than burnish with sand paper, some just paint, some use te heat on paint, some to the end use wax... I have milion information in my head, but i dont konow what to do at my first edge finish.

    Did a first few projects, and didn’t even know the term burnish. I did do edging, but not at all the schooled way. Many people like the finished projects. I do to. They are rustic. I guess it’s a matter of taste of the crafter and the viewer.

    Gorgeous work by those two & so happy to see colors! But sanding is not a new idea--last year when I finally started to experiment with veg tans & even shell cordovan, a tutorial by Shell Cordovan Co showed how to use 150 up to 1600 grit (about 6 or 7 steps & may vary by the leathers themselves--they'll let you know) & such to get to a mirror finish. Love the tip about the tokonole & H2O mix in the pen--that is brilliant! But before sanding, good glue & it's application & clamp/hammer of the layers is key to avoid gaps, final trim helps minimize lower grit sanding time & going in a single direction helps avoid tearing fibers in the leather & thus tearing out your hair trying to get the finish!

  • @m1ghtbe
    @m1ghtbe 4 месяца назад

    I ended up making a pretty sweet mix of some “substances” that basically lets you take a 500 grit edge, *apply stuff* wood slicker, then 3000 grit and then tokenole rub till tacky, cloth and get a glass edge. Still debating if I should bottle and sell it or make it public.

I can't say how many times I've beveled an edge and the beveler dug into the leather, causing a nick. And I had sharpened it before using. Maybe I'm not sharpening enough?

  • @popscratchie3985
    @popscratchie3985 3 года назад

    I concur, sanding the edges to a high grit is essential. After much effort I can finally get my edges to a high shine. The problem I now find is getting the glue between the edges to not show up, rubber cement is not good for this, white glue is better but I’d like to try something like aquilim 315

    Before sanding the most important thing is a high quality dense leather. No matter how much sanding and how manny grits of sandpaper use, if the leather is not properly choose, will not became that glossy shiny surface.
    Also, the amount of glue is important, is better if the glue is more liquid, and put the minimum necessary to make a good bond. If the glue is a tick layer and is not absorbed between leather fibers, will 🚫 aloud a nice edge finish.
    So this are the conditions:
    1 -good quality dense leather;
    2 - well prepared glued surfaces, thin glue between leather layers;
    3 -well prepared\sanded edge surfaces;
    4 -sometimes need to alternate sanding, burnishing fase's if is necessary;
    5 -on knife sheaths personally use just the alcohol based dye i use on the rest, and burnish; on wallets use tokonole, or toko pro, witch i personally prefer.
    Thanks for this presentation, lot of good materials to learn.

    The process is a lot like polishing metal, plastics etc. You are always chasing scratches essentially, leather is less visible as far as scratches go but the process is the same. I polish fountain pens in this fashion except the sanding is done wet and the final polish is a combination of cotton buffing wheels with fine polishing compounds.

Need to alter my toko-water ratio, it seems, (I've been using 50/50) and definitely refine my sanding process. But you should also have a slap on the wrist for your dismissal of women's interest in burnishing well. How very dare you. Said good-naturedly, but really..... that's kinda insulting. Yes, I am female..as are many many leatherworkers. Tut!

    @thomasbedarrides1376 4 месяца назад

    I do sanding from 150 or 220 up to at least 1000 but more often 2500 or 3000 grit (double the grit as you are moving up 150/320/600/1200/2500 for exemple or 220/400/800/1500/3000). I spend about 30min to 1h for sanding (depends how rough and uneven my cuts and edges are) then go with tokonole mixed with water (2:1 tokonole water ratio). I achieve very smooth and shiny edges but nowhere close to that! Might be the water ratio that is off or the leather quality as i use mostly average quality leather (No herman oak shell cordovan of italian veg tanned) but it is undeniable that sanding is the most important part of edge finishing. when you go over 1000 grit burnishing is a matter of seconds.

  • @Augcliffe
    @Augcliffe 2 года назад

    Thank you thank you! if I can respond though, these people are clearly very talented... the last wallet I made, I determined myself to have glass-like edges. I sanded from 150 to 400 to 600 to 1000, then I used tokonole and rubbed with canvas. Although these are the best edges I've ever done, they still look far away from what these gents are able to accomplish.

  • @salvadorcamera2072
    @salvadorcamera2072 3 года назад +2

    You can only achieve the best gloss from the best leathers(vegetable tanned leathers of course, not your chrome, apple, olive tanned leathers.... only vegetable tanned leathers) , leathers do matter and the fiber structure of the leather matters too. Spending a little extra money on leathers would be worth it.

    ▪︎cut even
    ▪︎sanded
    ▪︎beveled
    ▪︎then burnished - in that order. Some people use melted wax, some use water, some use tokonole, some use a combination. Just check out - corters - video on how he does his edges.

    I've always had mixed feelings about becoming overly obsessive on edges. Sure they look nice and it's good that people spend time getting them to 'glow',..but from a business perspective where time is money,...eh (shrugs.) People do realize that they don't last right? I mean it's like washing your car tires and getting them sparkling. The sentiment is nice, but in real life application,..they ARE going to see wear and tear. Edges by their very nature are meant to experience impacts and abrasion. As a crafter I'm perfectly fine with 200 grit, 400 grit, edge dye then a Tokonole burnished edge. All I ask is that an edge be 'touch smooth', well sealed and have some cosmetic appeal.
    Justin,..do you produce your own acrylic patterns? I've got some good ideas and have been shopping around for a pattern maker.

    Questions tho...? Is he applying the tokonole between each grit of sanding ?!?!?! Or do you just sand the raw leather edge dry, with nothing but sandpaper... and then tokonole only at the very end? Plus everytime I use a canvas cloth, it always roughens the edge back up!... and I myself sand a ton with lots of grits!! Iam getting frustrated! I don't mind taking the time at all.... iam a professional artist and Bookbinder, I have patience and skilled hands, just no clear instruction or guidance. It's when I can't get clear cut answers or help with instructions WITH ALL the important information that is in between. When you burnish with the canvas, are you putting alot of down pressure? Medium? Or just light pressure? Lol I know it's alot of questions, but iam getting beyond pissed because I spend all this time sanding and it seems to just get roughed up again ( and yes i use very high quality leathers) ! So that's why iam curious if he is applying the watered down tokonole in between each and every grit he steps up? Hope someone can help me out... cause I can't find a straight damn answer on the internet. Thanks and have a good one

    Don’t get me wrong. Those edges look beautiful. But they don’t last long at all. They get easily scuffed up from the smallest dings and most people aren’t going to spend the time needed to reburnish an edge up to 1000 grit. Glassy leather edges are just like mirror edges on knives. Nice to look at but not functional.
