Leather projects with laser engravers-xTool P2

This is my technique for making leather projects using laser engravers. This can be done with CO2 or diode machines. I am using the xTool P2 for this project.
For templates that I have made, check out my Etsy shop. I build files for projects and tools for laser engravers as well as CNC project files.

Following!!!!! I have been dying to work with leather since I got a Cricut maker years ago which is SO limited. Was so happy to finally get a laser that can do SO MUCH.

[@TheClackShack]

With the right machine, leather can be lots of fun. Enjoy

As I’ve worked with leather, I’ve learned that a little rubbing alcohol on a microfiber really works wonders getting soot off. I don’t use tape, but the air assist on the S1 helps redirect a lot of the soot, too. Great video, sir!

[@TheClackShack]

I haven't found a way to get all the soot...lol. The alcohol I used is just a more pure form of rubbing alcohol. Thanks

The only thing I would suggest is to cut your thread shorter (by half at least from what you had) before you burn it. It leaves a much neater and cleaner finish and still holds as strong. Other than that, great job. I have a P2 coming soon to help cut my leather projects.

Thanks

Clack, a great video. I just designed,burned, and sewed my first leather business card case. I used black leather and thread for a stealth kinda look, and it came out awesome.
I like your tape idea! Greg

[@TheClackShack]

Cool.. thanks

[@gregwilsonnaturephotography]

Actually, the only thing missing is a steak...... lol Greg

[@michaelselix6244]

Thanks for the tips I have been engraving on leather Bibles for Confirmation

[@TheClackShack]

Cool

[@chucklenz9011]

Great idea! I’ll probably sew it with my industrial sewing machine and use zipper foot.
Easy peasy.

[@TheClackShack]

I have to do it the hard way...lol

[@sehtzek]

I do my leather wet, just like casing it. The veg tan can be washed after. No soot issues

[@TheClackShack]

Cool

[@djcomp01]

Been thinking of trying something like this now I have some idea what I getting into.
Thanks
Don

[@TheClackShack]

Glad it helps

[@sharonsimonson5392]

Very cool!

[@TheClackShack]

Thanks..

[@FredSchmitthammer]

Veg tan leather is a must and safest.

[@TheClackShack]

So I hear

[@JFinch127]

Obviously a machine would be the fastest for stitching, but saddle stitching would do away with all the constant knotting to sew two pieces together and it would be continuous.

[@TheClackShack]

Whatever works..

[@FredSchmitthammer]

Burning cow attracts cats.

[@TheClackShack]

Apparently…

[@FredSchmitthammer]
