:O wow. i was just taking a break from 109 degree heat in the garage from burnishing a holster and thought, i wonder if my dremmel could work somehow to burnish? Then I find this magnificient solution!
My sons have an old set of K’Nex toys. There was a wheel that worked perfectly for burnishing. I just had to run a bolt through the hole in it. Great video!
After you finish sanding your burnishing drums. You should apply some furniture Howard's Feed N Wax for furniture to put the beeswax into the wood burnisher and giving it a finished polished look. Which will help glide it along the leather better and preserve the wood longer from cracking or splitting and giving the leather burnish a more high burnished look.
Brilliant idea! You showed the process really well. I will try this, and I might try with a hickory handle (replacement handle for a hammer). I think that would be really beautiful and work well. I also have eucalyptus branches, the wood is really dense and hard, might try those too. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I love this video, I wish I could give it two thumbs up. This is a brilliant idea. I was going to make my own burnisher but this is a powered one, way better. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Dense, tightly grained hardwoods are best for high speed edge slickers. I use gum trag, or sometimes beeswax along the edge first. Then after using the slicker, you'll have a smooth shiny edge.
Greetings from India, Awesome.superb idea, for someone who wants to make his/her own burnisher. Thanks for sharing the idea and the technic. Good on you.
Hope you still read the comments. Great video, I will try it to buy the piece tomorrow and insert it to the drill, I believe Tandy or Harbor .... they sell it already polished. Thank you for sharing!
Why grind down and drill a wooden block? Just buy 2 or 3 wooden drawer knobs with different size grooves at a hardware store, screw small machine screws into them, grind off the heads to fit the Dremel tool, and you’re good to go! A nylon roller for a sliding glass door works fine too.
lol, i found a wooden door knob which already had almost the correct shape... :D and well, i still like to do the first step with water by hand... but for the wax finishing, this thing is so much faster! :)
When building it for a drillpress you can go this way. For a dremel you need a small size center hole and small overall diameter. The small size makes it much more easy to use on small workpieces with tight radius.
Geko on Crete your welcome . i work the leather and i use a lot of them and i made 2 of them but not really good and now you gave me such of good idea . thanks again.
don't use dremel set up a 1700rpm motor on a table I have one for sale for 200 cd dollars if your interested all the burnishers are made (natural, black, brown) and can be changed as quickly as u change a drill bit
My best results came from wood with natural "oil" in them (cocobolo, pine, ...). Oak is fairly dry & tended to burn, rather than burnish when I used oak. Best of luck.
its not that easy to find and drill exactly the center of a dowel. if you are just a little out of center its starts shaking like crazy and it will kill the bearings of the dremel very quick. and you can make them this way as big as you want. cheers, geko

You are a genius using the dremel itself to make the burnisher.
Thousands of likes
Just bought a dremel. I was thinking "oh I could make one of these on the lathe". Lmao, then I realized the dremel is the mini lathe.
WAAAAAY better than spending $40 on an “exotic wood” hand burnished. Thanks!
Simply brilliant and brilliantly simple, being into both leather work and wood carving I love this idea, thanks for sharing dude...

Thank you! I’m tired of buying them and they rarely are the exact size I need and I don’t own a lathe...the dremmel and rasp never occurred to me!

What a easy solution I am a leather crafter and Belt maker this will save me a lot of money thank you
you are welcome.

have a nice day!

I was literally just wondering how/where to get one of these, and it popped into my suggested videos. Thanks so much!
you are welcome.
Frikin amazing!! This is why I love youtube. People like this! I'm making this next weekend.
Did you make it?
Greetings from India,
Awesome.superb idea, for someone who wants to make his/her own burnisher.
Thanks for sharing the idea and the technic.
Good on you.
I'm glad I saw this before I bought one. Thanks so much!
not into leather working but that wood block being rounded with a rasp will be a handy trick
, might use for my own filing drums
Hope you still read the comments. Great video, I will try it to buy the piece tomorrow and insert it to the drill, I believe Tandy or Harbor .... they sell it already polished. Thank you for sharing!
Priceless I was looking to create a smaller version and now i know. My husband has several pieces of mohogany left! huhuhuhuh you area genius!
That’s bloody genius. Many thanks for your post. Xx
Very clever! Thank you for saving me a trip to the store
Thanks for this video. Worth it every second.
What a wonderful idea, that is very valuable tip, many thanks for your sharing.
You make it look easy, simply brilliant!
Snap crackle and pop that’s exactly what I’m looking for!
NICE! You are THE man! Thanks for posting!
thx 4 watching!

I really like what you have done. I'm going to make some for myself
Just starting some leather projects Outstanding !Many Many THanxxxx !
you are welcome.
thank you for watching
I just need wood slicker, and i found your video. Thanks for sharing, great tip !!!
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing.
Great! I really enjoyed this project ...👍
So simple. Thank you for this tip 😊

Thank you for the excellent video. I sent for some CocoBolo wood and I will make a few different sizes.They are expensive to buy all ready made.
Jim
Brilliant 👍 thank you
absolutely GREAT...and cheap, and easy. thank u so much
Awesome video. I was just imagining how to make one of these.
Nicely done!
that was very awesome bro..nice work
THAT ! Was Very Enlightening. Wow.
Just what I was looking for. Thanks man.
Wow, great idea 😊
Very very nice. Thanks a lot. Very useful for me.
This is AMAZING. Thank you 🙂
My gosh, that's clever! Thank you for this tutorial.
Thanks for this, mate
Nice. My concern is that the bolt in the middle will spin or come loose easily. Would it be better to use a screw and glue?
He used epoxy. Hence the reason for making the marks in the nail shaft to give it something to bite into.
Excelente, felicitaciones... muy buena idea.!
That’s such a great idea, thanks 🤝 keep up the great work 👍……… one question, does it matter what type of wood I use?
Супер !!!! Молодец 👍✌!!!!
Nearly lost 10$ for these tool. Now i can do a ton for my self😊🤣
Is this water you put on the leather? Thanks for answearing !
Thanks. Awesome idea
What wood did you use? Or it doesn’t make much difference??
BEST VIDEO ON THIS EVER!
Use a hole cutter and cut out a plug from a chunk of oak or walnut.
Won't need to "round it out" and can get in much larger sizes.

@@gekooncrete2183
Use a 1" or 1.5" hole cutter in 1" lumber would meet those requirements I think.
Just another option.
You are a genius
Thank you very much.
(Wood type??? Can be pine!!!)
that's a brilliant idea but I neeed to know what is that thing that you put it in the leather
Simply Awesome!!
I'm gonna do it...thanks for posting.
WOW! That is so cool! Thank you.
Very clever. Thanks!
You just saved my bank account
Would a hard wood be a better choice?
Yep
Did you use resin?
Very well done.
That is 👍
thanks for your "know how"!
What size nail did you use? Or does it depend on the collet size? 1/8" ?
Wow, great tip!!!! thanks!
great idea.
thx buddy
Geko on Crete your welcome . i work the leather and i use a lot of them and i made 2 of them but not really good and now you gave me such of good idea . thanks again.
What kind of of Dremel do you use?
Nailed it.
I see what you did there !
Awesome!!
gonna go home and make one of these
don't use dremel set up a 1700rpm motor on a table I have one for sale for 200 cd dollars if your interested all the burnishers are made (natural, black, brown) and can be changed as quickly as u change a drill bit
u can also set up for sanding wheels which I also have set up
Jesus! for $200! I made one for 0$ and used in in my drill instead of a demel. Plus I'm sure I could buy one at a craft shop for like $50
👏👏👏👏👏
Awesome! Thanks
You sir are my hero xD
Thank you
I nearly wasted €35. thank you!
Thank you for your effort, real greate job.
What were the 2 metal tools u used when cutting the gutters into the barrel?
Rat-tail files ( round files )
Freaking awesome!
Nice! What kind of wood is best for this? I have some oak pieces left, and wondering if it will be ok...
My best results came from wood with natural "oil" in them (cocobolo, pine, ...). Oak is fairly dry & tended to burn, rather than burnish when I used oak.
Best of luck.
Why not use a round dowel / Mop handle to start
its not that easy to find and drill exactly the center of a dowel. if you are just a little out of center its starts shaking like crazy and it will kill the bearings of the dremel very quick. and you can make them this way as big as you want.
cheers, geko
Bom demais. Obrigado por compartilhar conosco seus conhecimentos.
,,Great tip, as i'm making miniature western saddles, for my daughter's BREYER model horses,, again thanks !!
Sorry to be that person but I loved the music what was it?
