Really neat project, matches the bag on your bike you made awhile back. 👍

Nice use of stacked leather. I use a small chip brush to apply Tokonole to larger areas. It keeps my fingers dry. Just a thought.

it was more of a sensory thing for me . . . the feel of the smooth, sanded leather between my fingers.

You could use cold blue to blacken the steel hardware. It would be a nice touch to prevent the shiny steel from detracting from the nice leather pegs.

I think the bolts are plated so it wouldn't work.

Brilliant. I was looking at that lathe and realized that you could do that on a drill press. Just drop the platform and put a brass plumb bob in a machinist's vise or something.

@RoadAgentLeather 11 ай бұрын

Yes, you can do the same thing on a drill press. I've had that Proton mini-lathe for years and use it for my scale model ships (another passion of mine).

For those of us who do not own a lazer cutting machine...most knife making supply shops sell leather knife handle washers by the pound. on average, about 5 cents per washer. on an average knife, you might need 100 washers, so thats 5$.

what was that you were brushing on between each layer ?

@RoadAgentLeather Жыл бұрын

It was diluted glue. Eco-Flo leathercraft glue to be specific.

helps the leather lay flat. Also helps a little with the scorching

I was going to remark that it probably isn't too much of a challenge to make this with $1000 worth of tools. But then I follow the link and see that the laser alone is $5000!

@RoadAgentLeather 11 ай бұрын

Ha. You don't need a laser to do this. Just a couple sizes of circular punches.

I usually don't complain, but your title says "How to make" not watch me make with out any explanation. So what was the milky liquid you put on the leather? what is Brand name and mixture ratio? what is the purpose of rolling the leather as you assemble the handle? I am 56 and working on my very first Knife restoration . I have never don this before. Being a disabled Vet I don't have and cant afford the expensive Machines you have. But could have used the Information and explanation of your process. But Obviously you do really good work, and have expensive machines to help you be as good as you are. Sharing knowledge not so much. Thanks anyway.

@RoadAgentLeather 6 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching and taking the time to ask a question! The liquid is just thinned down leather glue (specifically "Eco-Flo's Leather Weld"). The ratio isn't really critical; maybe 1:1 glue to water. Enough that it doesn't dry too quickly while you stack. Rolling is to keep the leather discs aligned as close together as possible before the stack dries. This means less work sanding after it dries to get a smooth, contiguous surface. You don't need a laser. Just a cheap set of circular dies in the appropriate diameters. If you have a drill press--or even just a hand drill--you can chuck up the dried leather stack in that to sand it. Good luck!

I love you holsters, vale trays and other leather craft. Nice to see someone showing off something that was given to them to advertise, but I would rather see you real leather carts. Hope this is not a sign of things to come.

@RoadAgentLeather Жыл бұрын

It's just a way to speed up tedious parts of the construction. I could have used circular dies and cut the leather discs out with my arbor press. . . . but thought this would be more interesting to watch.

Don’t use a piece of « Jean »(10mn33sc), you can loose yours fingers or a hand. Instead, use a piece of wood and so, your leather will be shiny with the tokonolé. 👍😉

Stacked leather is common on slater’s hammers (used by folks who lay slate roofs, and one of very few tools where there truly are right and left hand versions).
