EDGE FINISHING Leather Working - ASMR Workshop

[@junioraulava6677]

I appreciate the way how you hold up each item and show what your gonna do with it. I find myself rewinding the video to dbl check everything I need to remember. This is what I’m just focusing on, minimal wallets and I just envy how you made this wallet and how you made the edges look so professional! Thank you for keeping me interested in leather work.

[@Hehhin]

The best burnishing I’ve ever seen.

[@JenTGdl]

Thank you for this video. Love the color of the leather.

[@LowTideLeather]

Thank you for watching! Its a pretty sweet color, eh?

[@IMOO1896]

This so much more satisfying than soap scraping😃 At least there’s some very nice to show for the efforts at the end.

[@LowTideLeather]

Whaaat? I didnt think anything could be superior to soap scraping, haha. Huge compliment!

[@heathersontag2911]

Thank you so much for posting this! It is so helpful to see each step. Your work is beautiful!

[@elnur.hicaz80]

Great work master. Thank's for tutorial 🙏

[@gall_blader_works]

I know this whole process would take waaaay longer than 5 minutes. But finishing edges is its own rewarding effort. Beautifully done 👍

[@LowTideLeather]

Hahaha I really wish it was a 5 minute process. Thanks so much!

[@kristieprice8842]

Your burnishing is beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

[@jean-pierregracio6084]

And all your work is incredible, it's inspiring

[@LowTideLeather]

Thank you my friend! I appreciate that!

[@falconsnestlv6785]

Awesome video bro! Thank you

[@LukeDorny]

Weeeeee! So satisfying to watch, even from a leatherworker's eye. Yo, what grit wheel do you use on dremel? Also, is that gum, or is that just a brown bottle of water? ;)

[@LowTideLeather]

Thats 240 grit brotha. And its just tap water tryin to look all fancy and whatnot

[@eiward]

Luke Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you for asking.

[@haparose]

Thank you for asking the question I was wondering as well.

[@ammar-akram]

What's the thickness of that leather? The wallet looks just amazing btw!

[@yeeaaronc]

YT algorithm brought me here. Just found out about this and visited your website. Any chance it will be up soon?

[@michaelt.9372]

Well done edges make a wallet. This beyond well done.

[@stoneblue1795]

Very well done & enjoyable. I know how sore a guy's hands are after something like that. It eventually catch's up with you.

you got me into leather crafting 😂

[@world_of_engineering]

Awesome man, love your work!

[@LowTideLeather]

I appreciate it my friend!

[@rooly3080]

Awesome work! A few questions: 1. How do you prevent the glue layer from interfering with slicking the edges? When I sand my edges the glue 'peeps up' from between the layers of leather and forms small glue spots. Maybe I'm using the wrong product. 2. Any experience with Tokonole colour finishes (black or brown)?

[@TastyChocoCoco]

I have the exact 2 same questions. Please help us out!

[@Krisszhu1990]

I had the same in the past. Let the glue air before you put the two pieces together. I'm using water based glue, which is white, and its ready when the colour is gone. Since I'm not "rushing" the issue is gone. I hope this helps.

[@spoonie319]

I don’t know if you’ll see this 4 months later, but I’d recommend picking up one of these adhesive erasers. They are great for the exact issue you are referring to, and also cleaning up any other areas where your glue lines might not be as clean as you’d like.

[@perrasmussen6431]

Thats one micro dremel machine you got there... havent seen them this small before.. Is it a Dremel ?

[@LowTideLeather]

It is! The Dremel actually hangs stationary and the part that you see is an attachment arm that allows for fine tuning and lighter weight

[@zeinabsa3d]

Thank you so much for making this helpful video, I really appreciate that you wrote the links for the tools you used. I just wondered what was the liquid in the brown bottle that you used first before Tokonole?

[@sachleather]

Awesome! I use all same progress except the dremel one.

[@LowTideLeather]

Im stoked to hear that! The dremel is mostly just an express sanding option. Not totally necessary

[@suarezhamilton]

Very nice, what kind of glue did you use?

[@yeeaaronc]

Will you be offering this color of leather in the future?

[@Eristhenes]

Beautiful work. I just started leather working and cannot burnish properly to save my life, ugh! What was in the amber bottle at 1:01?

[@hueblo]

What glue do you use? I'm having trouble with my edges because of the type of glue. Tried two different ones. The 2nd one seems to be worse.

[@mtlgrlie]

Newly subscribed and love your videos! I’m enamored with both your edge beveler and your layered bench-clamped pony. I believe you said that pony is Dream Factory, yes? And I hit the link for the beveler but I’m interested in the exact size you have? Lovely. Simple. Clean. Smooth. Great colors. Exactly what all of us fellow leather workers strive for. Thanks in advance.

[@LowTideLeather]

Thanks so much! I appreciate that! That is the medium sized Dream Factory pony. I absolutely love it! As for the beveler Ive always used size 0, but recently bought the size 1 and love it just as much.

[@willielokie]

I noticed you sand in one direction. Is that typical to get a good burnish?

[@mikegmcg]

What did you put on with the dobber before sanding? Water?

[@LowTideLeather]

Yessir! Just a fancy bottle of tap water

[@luiscalderon4938]

Hi! This is amazing! Can I ask what are the types of fabric you use to polish?

[@zajarman]

Beautiful work. Can I ask what the substance is that you use after beveling and before using the 1000 grit sandpaper, in the dark bottle?

[@LowTideLeather]

Thank you! Its just water that I use to wet down the fibers in one direction before I sand

[@zajarman]

Low Tide Leather gotcha thank you! Do you adjust your burnishing process depending on the type of leather you are working with? The natural veg tan I’ve been using gets water stains really easily so I am very cautious about using water to burnish!

[@LowTideLeather]

Definitely. Some leathers are waaay more sensitive to applying water and Tokonole. The process is always the same however I have to be more cautious for the Veg Tan and Nubuck leathers

[@jetlagleather6343]

Awesome vids. You got me to subscribe. Can I ask you what brand of leather it is. Looks pretty unique. (Maybe self dyed?)

[@LowTideLeather]

Thanks so much! That leather is called Ortensia Pueblo, made from the Badalassi Carlo tannery in Italy. Its super unique and a dream to work with

[@mendoeta]

Beautiful work. Very nice leather. What is tokonoke? A special cream? Greeting from Chile, southamerica.

[@LowTideLeather]

Greeting! Its an agent for burnishing edges. It helps create that coveted shine

[@mendoeta]

@@LowTideLeather Thanks. Have a nice day.

[@TheDanantya]

That is amazing color, can i know how to make the dye looked like it is stained? And what kind of the leather you use? Beautiful works 👏🏻

[@LowTideLeather]

Super awesome blue right?? This is pre-dyed from the Badalassi Carlo tannery in Italy

[@TheDanantya]

Is it Pueblo ?

[@my2cents499]

Is this a chrome tanned leather.. im assuming its veg by the edge but the color has me wondering

[@mjh1]

What do you apply at 1:09?

[@runzeiglerun1]

Late, but read in the comments it was a fancy bottle of tap water lol

[@nathans.509]

WOW! Really enjoy watching you create functional art! Do you have a link to that wallet in that specific colour so I can order it?

I have a cheap $20 one off amazon and a medium size Dream Factory pony. I really like them both however the dream factory is more convenient for work bench use.

Point. And. Case. Haha definitely a fun one to make

[@hellorin]

dont i know it, i made a few of these too :D

[@arangelar6217]

What kind of leather is used

[@BlueToronto]

Might it be normal to see itty-bitty bits of fuzz still sticking up here and there along a burnished edge (let's say more along the edges of the edge) or does that just mean it wasn't sanded (or polished?) down enough? Thanks.

[@aphyngodiva2551]

Not an expert here but sounds like an issue with sanding, saw another video that said that's really common with sanding and why he didn't recommend it, it's called threading (or at least that's what he called it). He doesn't recommend any sanding for this reason but clearly this person managed to do it without issue somehow. Finer grit probably threads less and good leather sources probably help too (Tandy is notorious for bad leather if you aren't already aware, good to practice on but tend to have a lot of issues).

[@BlueToronto]

@@aphyngodiva2551 Hey thanks for the reply! Yeah, I actually saw a "CHARTERMADE" video yesterday where he also recommended not sanding and uses his knife instead, he called it fluff, lol. I also saw another video yesterday where they used a very fine sandpaper during the burnishing process and he recommended using worn-in spots on the paper which are even finer....his edge seemed to be very smooth and glassy. I think having flushly cut edges can help.

[@BlueToronto]

@@aphyngodiva2551 Didn't consider the quality of the leather, it's not from Tandy, been using/learning with some no-name Belgian veg-tan I got at a workshop I attended. That leather seems fairly clean but I did recently get some "B-Grade" Perla Azzurra leather and it does seem to be a bit cleaner. Might have to pick up some of the 1000 grit paper used in this video and see how that does. While the paper I have does fluff or thread, it also does seem to clean up some of the fluff after I've already wet and burnished the edge somewhat.

[@franciscorogel2099]

Since you called this a tutorial I expected some voice over with advice. Just leaving the microphone on and turning up the volume doesn't help in teaching anything - surely a requirement of a 'tutorial' - but you are just using it to jump on the ASMR bandwagon.
