Awesome! I had a burnishing rod and also didn't know you needed to get the leather wet before rubbing! No wonder it still is pretty fuzzy despite my best efforts. Thanks for the tip.
if you have the wood slicker (or a dowel I imagine), you can use the taper to do the same thing to the rest of the leather and it adds depth to make it look older compared to just freshly dyed and left alone. I've done it a few times for leather wristbands and bracers etc, and it makes it look great, at least for browns/mahogany colors. Also try hide rejuvinator and really rub it in and just work the leather, it softens and adds to the aged/antique feel to it.
Punished Props also forgot to mention, get a really soft cloth, kinda like a glasses cloth (tandy leather sells them in packs) and give it a good buffing when the rejuvinator dries
BIll really DOES get back to y'all in comments! He's not lying! Say Bill, I'm adding foam armor to a glove, any recommended tutorials or tips for attaching foam to a work glove? Plastic supports? Rivets? Snaps? I'm all ears. Thanks!
Burnishing looks even better if you sand the edges before you wet and burnish the leather. Makes for a nice flat and even seam that will look seamless when finished.
Hi bill, just wondering if you are thinking of doing more leather and metal work in the future and if so what sorts of things would you be looking to make?
So I'm huge into the Mandalorian mythos and armor. I've turned a nerf rifle into a pretty sweet sniper rifle for my build. Was wondering how to send a couple pics to you to get your input on it.
Bill 🙂 any advice on taking off the pattern side of Eva foam, for layering, ( punishedprops.com/foamsmith-tools-and-materials/ as the backside is the same as the Eva in the picture ) I was thinking about a mouse sander, or can you think of something better 🤔🙂
awesome. thank you for messaging me back too. I only just discovered u and Evil Ted smith a few months ago and u guys have inspired me to get into the business of foam fabricating. been a cloth costume maker fro the past 14 years and I'm so excited that I'm almost ready to start creating costumes out of foam
GSTQ has done a LOT of work for me...Highly recommended, Cathy is awesome
Tear drop, Drop top, welcome to the Prop Shop.
Cathy is great! I love listening to the banter between Cathy and Harrison.
Thank you! I've been looking for someone who explains exactly what burnishing is and does for a while now!

Very cool. Leather working is so therapeutic and fun.
Great information . I've always wanted to know how to properly burnish leather. thanks Bill.
Oh man, I've been meaning to get into this. I have need of leather made accessories, and I have all the toold. Just seems to overwhelming.

***** No problem being a DIY guy I enjoyed it
Still watching with my fingers crossed to see my costume on the screen behind Bill xD

You and Frank from Tested look so much alike. :D
is there not a RUclips channel for gstq?
What did you do with the real Cathy? I didn't hear this one shout at Harrison once!
Any plans to do holster for the Mal Firefly pistol you made?

Nice!

i want to ask a question. Do you take suggestions?
(if you do i suggest the spartan helmet from 300)
You should plan on making a clone trooper costume for yourselves ;) but seriously though that'd be sweet your videos are awesome.

Punished Props The belt sander is the same price as the mouse sander I saw, I'll get the belt instead -Thanks Bill 🙂👍
How to make Jedi Utility Belts?
Bill, where do I get leather to make my own custom belt???
+Stephen Osirus I got mine at a local leather supplier. You might have a Tandy Leather near you.
