I love your channel. The vibe in your videos are so calming even reviews like this. I know you design your shop to give that feeling. Great job over all. I am beginning my leathercraft because of your videos and have purchased many of my beginner tools from Weaver Tools. I wholly believe in quality tools, however, almost $1000 for virtually a one trick pony. I think Weaver was smoking something when they priced this. The same motor cost less then $200. With the right skill, you can totally build one for a little over third of the price. Regardless, I still like Weaver. None powered tools are reasonably priced for quality tools.
FYI you can buy spindle sander sleeves to replace the sandpaper and you can buy whatever grit you want, plus it is much cheaper than Weavers. You can often find them at any hardware store, otherwise Amazon has massive batches you can buy.
I use those rubber glue erasers to clean my sandpaper on my Dremel and let me tell you it works like a dream without wearing down the sandpaper grit like metal brush. You can get them for around $1-$4. The dollar store has them even sometimes
Sounds like the hole through the sanding drum is not properly centered. From your description it also appears like you are ending up doing the sanding and burnishing steps by hand anyway.
Like it matters if the sponsor saw the video first or not. Which they most likely did see it anyway. We see the forums anyone with 10 subscribers send 50 emails a day asking can I get free 💩 Then they sing about it bcos a sponsor is a sponsor they'll pay more in the future if you are their 👧🐕
Good review. A tad salty for my blood. I tend to find that deer alters work great for burnishing at the end. You could easily make this if you want to but like you said it will probably last forever.
Many drill presses cannot go in the horrizontal direction, hence the word "Press". If you type in the words "Leather Burnishing Machine" you'll see exact copies of the Tandy Leather one for about $150. That'd be $50 less and you'd still be able to find parts too since tandy resells them.
while beautiful and useful, weavers machines are so incredibly overpriced... like... $1000 for that? thats robbery. $90 for a sanding drum replacement? who priced this stuff? Trump? insanity
950+ USD for a rotational tool. Excellent quality. Yet the motor is not aligned to the point the belt falls off. So I'll rephrase: "Excellent quality". And no dust collection. 🤦♂

Crazy. You can build it yourself with 50 USD

you must try
rubber for clean sandpaper... more effectively
$965!?! Lol
Hey Ryan! Could you do a full video going over all of your tools and where you got them from? Thanks from the Uk!
4” x 2” drums are easy to order.
Cool machine and very useful. I like the way you have a exhaust system / dust collector.
LOL I get your point. Thing is, if you want dust collection, go price a "compact" shoe finisher. I think a Chinese made one starts at 7k
I'm about to get my first wallet from you, getting delivered in about a week. Super excited! Keep up the high quality videos and work man.

THERE ARE A MILLION AND ONE OPTIONS FOR DROP IN BURNISHER ATTACHMENTS FOR YOUR EXISTING DRILL PRESS. FYI people.
I thought about converting a bench grinder into a burnisher. I love the Weaver one but wow are they expensive.

Can I ask you, please, how long have you been making wallets for?
waddaheck!? $1k for that? weaver is trippin lol.
Hey are you still using the bmpcc 4K to film your videos ? Looking great
Way too much for what it is.

yeah weaver sucks
i mean trump made gas cheap af so no.. probably biden judging by his economy.
I don't understand why it's so noisy
Over priced tool, selling an overpriced tool, to ensure the over priced tool can continues to get free overpriced tools. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I find it funny how Americans are indoctrinated into believing in superiority of their "made in US" products.
Sad to see such a good crafter and professional willing to cave for some promo cash and pass it off as a legit review.
