  • In this leathercraft video I make a 1911 holster with extensive laser engraving/etching. The inside is fully lined with milled veg tan. The leather is from Tandy. The laser is a Creality Falcon-2 22W

    I really love the possibilities that are endless with the laser. I do have a question though on if it dries out the leather too much. When you do an engraving like in this video does it not burn the leather then crack out when you manipulate late it later?

      @minerblue9641 Год назад

      I'm not the video maker. But I'm sure you could figure out how to oil the leather to make it last about 20 years or longer. Think about it.

      @@minerblue9641 yeah I’m sure there is a way. I am also into holster production and have dabbled with heat stamping. In order to get a good enough transfer it tends to burn the leather to a point that it becomes incredibly fragile. I’m just curious of how he’s keeps it from cracking out.

    • @nickbaron7462
      @nickbaron7462 Год назад

      @@minerblue9641 also you are burning the leather not just heating it up. Burnt leather doesn’t just heal like live skin would. It is now damaged and looses its playability. I can’t imagine that even simply oiling it would bring enough life back to the burnt areas. Think about it.

    I,m just starting to incorporate my laser in with my leather work, how do you get the patterns you use? is it something you came up with? if so what are you useing to draw them I am useing lightburn and can not even start to end up with something like this, mainly the shape of the holster

      I make my own designs for the most part. Certain art (the snake on this holster for instance) I purchase from Adobestock. I primarily use Adobe Illustrator for the vector graphics. I only use Lightburn or xTool Creative Space to run the machines.

      @RoadAgentLeather  Год назад +1

      yep. There will be soot built up around the etching. Especially when going this deep into the leather. I find the air assist increases this. I just use water to wipe it off. You can also run it under a faucet.

      My thoughts are that both technically and artistically, there's as much skill required to design and implement a piece like this as anything else. It's definitely not a "push-button, output leatherwork" thing ... although I may edit the videos to appear that way ;-).
