Love your videos. Haven't found any other channel as simple, clear and concise regarding leather craft

[@Tzazilas]

Thanks for the video. Any reason for applying tokonole with dauber rather than the hand? It's not toxic and for me, I have better control under my finger. Applying with the finger makes a mini burnishing also.

[@xtrmm4tt]

How quick are you applying tokonole with your finger?

[@kyuubinokitsune4270]

Same I use my finger with tokonole. In this way, you can also safe some money without buy others things. If is a small thickness like this I use simply my Awl.

[@Tzazilas]

@@xtrmm4tt No delay at all. And you don't waste much of it as you can control how much you grab from the bottle.

[@skyefrances1889]

I’m having the same problem at the moment. Do you remember if you found a way around it? I know your comment is from two years ago so no worries if you don’t remember!

[@Tzazilas]

@@skyefrances1889 Hi, I lost you. What was the question? :)

[@bbrachman]

Where did you get the teeny tiny burnisher. I need one of those for a lot of my edge work. I cannot seem to find one that small anywhere. I do not own a lathe so I cannot make one myself. I do have a drill press. I wonder if I can make one on that?

[@MM-pj4bl]

Where can I find the smallest one to purchase from that maker please

[@ahmedalkatheeri7468]

I was waiting for a video about this topic

[@DClairRobinson]

That leather looks thin, but it's far stiffer than what im trying to work with. What I have is very 'floppy'. It would never stand on edge like you did at one point. Do you have any tips for that?

[@dadzilla1968]

There's a difference between vegetable tanned leather which is stiff and chrome tanned leather which is soft. Do a quick internet search for the difference if you wish to know more.

[@kunhooyoon5826]

Vegtable tanned leather is not always stiff. Depending on what processes it has gone through, the temper of the leather can vary a lot. When i first worked with a softer leather, it was tough. I hope someone can give some tips

[@INS1977]

Moust leather scraps exactly not stiff... Not shiny and not easy to work.... Holes dissapiered..etc

[@tonybambino1445]

I know this might be late but, what I do is grab one of my rulers and add another ruler both sides of the leather, tape them together so I "stiffen" the leather, if you're crafty you could make a wooden holder with screws, then burnish as you like and done

[@Iris_Tg_]

​@@tonybambino1445 this is actually genius!! You just saved my hand a lot of stress lol thanks for sharing

[@lupeegnino5694]

Very detailed, thank you!! Can anything other than tokonol, be used?

[@becain]

Is Tokonole transparent or white? I have a black thin leather, does Tokonole come in black colour?

[@KRYPTIDE]

Can you link where you got the mini burnishing wheel.

[@lenp00]

Why not sandwich the soft piece between two hard surfaces with just enough of the soft leather sticking up to allow a stiffer surface for burnishing.

[@96Brand]

Where can I find that leather ?

[@INS1977]

I have tons of very thin leather pieces... Hard to do anything... Simple holes dissapiered...

[@R.96108]

Thank you so much🌷

[@ellagrossberg7248]

Does this work on 2 pieces of leather glued together?

[@LouieGrind]

Yes, it works on glued leather. IMO you have to glue if you got two pieces or else they will seperate after time. Just remember to sand away eventual glue residue.

[@kyuubinokitsune4270]

This swabs do you think can be used for dye? 🤔 Thank you.

[@leathertoolz]

yeah it does for edges but you are trying to cover the whole area, use sponge.

[@AlohaStateofMind]

What if you get Tokonole on the face of the leather. How do you clean that off safely?

[@leathertoolz]

you can wipe it off with your finger or use wet towel.

[@kensmith9950]

What is the difference between "slicing" an edge and burnishing an edge? Are the terms interchangeable? I was told once that burnishing can only happen on the face (grain side) of leather and slicking is for the edges. Thanks my friend!

[@leathertoolz]

Great question, My answers for that matter, 1. "Burnishing" and "Slickering" can be interchangeable. Burning seems to be done on high speed drums. let's call it, High Speed Slickering = Burnshing. Wax and no-Wax is not a matter here. ; ) 2. Funny enough. it's true that you don't really say "Slickering" on the surface. you only burnish. but I think it's just only terminology issue what people choose to use. I think those two are basically same technique.

[@kensmith9950]

@@leathertoolz Right on. LOL :)

[@hadiakbarkargili637]

Japanese leather crafting tool kit and bunishing liquids is not available here in Pàkistan unfortunately and Amazon is operating here in Pàkistan 😭😢

[@ahmedalkatheeri7468]

Do I need to bevel the leather before burnishing?

[@markfoley3402]

6:00

[@alexs7758]

How about the edges? Shouldn’t you edge bevelling first?

[@maryrosecarroll4558]

He said not necessary as so thin.

[@elia1447]

For your thin piece of leather, was it veg tan leather or chrome leather?

[@maryrosecarroll4558]

He said veg tan at the beginning

[@maryrosecarroll4558]

A Q tip will work just as well

[@EduardoSilva-mr1lp]

You are not right about diameter and speed , when diameter of burnishing bit its bigger it frection with leather much more time then if you burnish with same speed but with a smaller one , for ex if the circle lenght is 1 cm on one rotation it frection with leather 1 cm if the circle lenght is 10 cm it frection 10 cm on one rotation.

[@leathertoolz]

Yeah, you are half right. 10cm diameter takes longer to reach one cycle. 1cm diameter takes much quicker to reach one cycle. with SAME RPM (Rounds per Minute), smaller ones get to rotate much faster.

[@EduardoSilva-mr1lp]

@@leathertoolz so the point is that if the bit has bigger diameter it needs less rpm then the small one to create the same amount of friction

[@hadiakbarkargili637]

Nice, love from Pakistan 🇵🇰♥️, I want to come to Japan to meet you, how can it possible

[@thealejandro]

That leather you say it's 0,8mm is at least 1,5mm...
