Thank you, for sharing! Learned exactly what I needed to know. For your time & labor… thanks, again.

I haven't tried it myself, but I've seen some people on KZbin heat their creasers on a electric single-burner hotplate, and that has an advantage of adjustable heat. I've used a micro butane torch, but only heat it for a few seconds. That torch has an intense flame.

[@leathertoolz]

Lex, Heat plate and Micro butane torch is a great idea! but then I need some feeling of old-fashioned-way of doing things! I am full of high-techs in everyday life. Craft is my safe house! ; )

Love your detailed videos, thanks kindly for all the hard work!

[@tanboonhwee4368]

It's so enjoyable to see you using an analog creaser. For the part that you overburnt, it seems that part is very strechy leather.

[@paulporter6874]

palosanto make left handed creasers if you ask them, as i have a set of them, although they are not cheap. the heads seem to be made out of brass too

[@dperisty1]

Thanks for the tutorial - I was wondering if creasing is done before or after finishing the edges? I see some people crease: - Before the edges are beveled. - After beveling but before sanding/finishing. - After beveling and finishing.

If anyone could help me with my questions, that would be a great relief please. 1. What is special with an alcohol flame/lamp? I mean is the creaser better heated up on the alcohol flame or is it just a convention? Should I sure buy one of these lamps? 2. I am also on the fence if I should buy an individual creaser as demonstrated in the video, or go ahead and purchase one of those 5 in 1 sets that have creaser plus groover blades in them all together?

[@iwaristama6064]

Why do we crease the edge of the leather? Is it just for decoration or has a specific function?

[@BrunoRBSilva-fh9rw]

What about ceasing with a wing divider and damp leather ? That's what I have been doing.

[@leathertoolz]

Damp leather and divider... that's interesting method. how does it work with chrome leather?

[@sons.moon.leather]

I wonder if heating a wing divider would give a similar result.

[@DecoyJayc]

Not enough mass to hold the heat, I'm guessing

[@abdulrazzaq6672]

Please tell me how to make it

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS REALLY HELPED ME AS A BEGINNER

[@leathertoolz]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@V3leathercraft]

I already have 2 & 2.5... I am thinking of 1.0mm.... But don't know whether it's useful.... Is it for 1 or 2oz leather or skin? Alcohol lamp is not available here in India... I am using my ZIPPO for heating...

[@V3leathercraft]

2nd : I saw some videos where bevelling before creasing... But in some videos, after creasing... Which is the correct way...?

[@michaelm1850]

I just bought some creasers .... here's to not burning my house down with the alcohol lamp

I use adjustable creaser and fileteuse. When i heat the adjustable creaser, only 20 seconds and press with gently and then Repeat two or three time for perfect result. How about you jun ?

[@leathertoolz]

right, doing it multiple times with adjusted temperature makes fine line. I tend to do it in cold and then heated.

Where did you get your burner?

[@drewmeyerhoeffer467]

You heat your creasers way more than I do. 10-20 seconds is typically plenty for mine. Maybe it is the type of fluid/gas you are using in your lamp.

[@leathertoolz]

also the flame size!
