Great info! But a note on masking: Sometimes the masking adhesive can adversely impact the finish--low tack tape or film minimizes this. Best to always test any new tape of leather!
Helpful video! Have you ever tried wetting the leather instead of masking? I do that regularly when I use a trotec laser, but I'm wondering the result with a glowforge. My experience is that wetting reduces char, and I truly believe it helps get a more consistent cut.
I want to make keychains somewhat similar to what you are doing, but I don't want to do stitching. What kind of glue would I use to make a permanent durable edge that won't separate? I've heard contact cement? If that is the case, what brands do you recommend?
You certainly could if using the xTool P2 with a riser base. You would also need a fixture to hold the surface to be engraved very flat. Otherwise, the variation in surface height would ruin the purse.
Hi Jo, from what I managed to hear, some good advice and tips unfortunately the “please hold the line/ lift muzak”, drowned out your dulcet voice. Sorry for being a moaning old sod.🤗
Thank you for sharing the speed and power settings!
Any time 👍
Thank you for another intelligent instructional video.
Watched it! Saved for later as well

No I haven't tried that, mostly because I don't want to wait for it to dry 😂
@@JHLeather I’d rather wait for it to dry than pick the masking tape off. 😂
If you can take it all off at once, Gorilla tape works great!
Do you have any suggestions on how to get rid of the burnt smell with cut/engraved leather? Thank you
Can you list out the recommended products that you mentioned?
Hi Jo, hope you are well! would love to see you make a video making a knife sheath. all the best!
I have an axe one but will add that to my list 👍
@@JHLeather that's awesome! I've recently gotten into knife making. Maybe I can make one for you and send it to you so you can make a sheath for it.

fantastic video very great informative :)
Thank you 🙂
Great video, thanks👌👌
Thank you 🙂
I have 3-3.5mm leather, what wattage cutter would I need?
I have used the Glowforge pro on 3.5-4 mm bridle butt and it worked fine 👍
@@JHLeatherwhat laser settings for the glow forge did you use for this thickness? Thanks, great video!
Could you [or better yet] would you recommend a laser cutter for fabric samples swatches for a small business?
Am I able to laser a already make purse using a machine ?
