Very good and informative video. I had seen creasers before but had no idea what they were for. Thanks!

I change the groover tip to creaser tip ( 01:35) setting 1mm space, hot creasing, and can be done easily also in curves. I do Long crease with arch creaser and mount creaser. Thanks for the bone folder tip. 🙏🏾 A little adjustment in a divider also works good for edge creasing. Just have to one tip a little blunt and reduce length by 1mm( cannot try hot creasing 😜)

Thanks for this, Jo! The bone folder tip solved a problem for me, as I occasionally stray off the edge with my fixed creaser, too. Nice to know an easy, and un-noticeable fix is there when I do so!

I still slip off the edge with my creaser, so it is a well used method in my workshop also 👍

I would suggest a little different approach…Use appropriate materials but don’t blow the budget on the high dollar stuff your favorite KZbin leather workers use in their $400 wallets. You’re learning, not making high end products. Wasting high end leather on practice projects while cheaping out on tools never made sense to me. If you know you’re not going to quit next week, buy decent tools that will be an asset as you learn, not junk that makes it even harder to improve on your results. Don’t be shy to look around for that bin of veg tan belly leather for $20. No it’s not suitable for high end projects, but you aren’t making those yet. Learning to build sheathes and holsters with a chunk of ugly leather that’s big enough to make like 4 or 5 sheathes and a couple holsters out of for 20 bucks. Is the way to go. You don’t develop skill any quicker by using expensive leather. Learn to name bad leather look good. You’ll be more proud of it than if you keep making good leather look bad. Lol! No sense in wasting $300 for a side of Hermann Oak that you’re going to butcher into learning experiences not worth anything monetarily. Find 2 or 3 bellies of cheap veg tan with the least furry looking rough sides, pick up a couple good quality tools instead, and go learn how to use them.

I love my adjustable creaser which looks identical to yours Jo. I picked up from eBay around 20 years ago for a fiver. Don’t know how old it is - probably older than me by the look of it and that’s saying something, but I reckon it’ll still be going when I’m long gone. Love the way old tools were made to last. 🙂

The one I have is from a company called Joseph Dixon, they have gone out of business now, but they were a bit tool manufacturer in the UK starting in the 1840s

Checked my one and can’t see a makers mark on it anywhere but it’s definitely very old judging by the staining on the metal and the handle has a lovely worn in feel to it like it’s been polished from many years use. Works really well and I wouldn’t swap it for anything newer. Great videos by the way. 👍🏻

Okay you sold me. I ordered the George Barnsley crease as it was the only one I could find that was adjustable and left handed. Trusting it is the great British quality I recently got in another tool from across the pond. Will have to wait a bit for them to make, ship, etc. Dollar to pound right now isn't all that good.

Excellent from my humble prospect so thank you. I remember some much earlier videos were 3/4 style to me to prompt the purchase of a kit with all the missing details (yes fair enough) but this feels more like a symbolic relationship between the two, a better way to go allow viewers to enthusiastically support your great channel. Helpful would be techniques if you find yourself slipping off the edge into or away the work and or have trouble maintaining a consistent feel that edge. Yes arthritis arthritis my attempts Don’t know if it’s the arthritis and more practice would be fair enough. Thanks so much again!

Bookbinders make extensive use of creasers when either blind tooling or foiling a book cover and it can be done on leather or bookcloth covers. They also have an unlimited numer of 'wheels' which are used in the same way but imprint a pattern. I'll try and dig one out to send you so you can have a play with it (an ornately decorated collar for Skylar?).

If you’re heating a creaser, especially if using a torch to heat it with, do not use it if your leather is cased. Moisture will cause it to burn upon contact. Let it dry out really good before creasing with a heated creaser.

A stitch groove is absolutely permanent… You’re gouging out the top layer of leather. It ain’t growing back…. It’s not really a crease. Creasers just make an indentation, sometimes with a burn, in the leather. They’re strictly aesthetic. However a stitch groove serves a purpose. The stitch groove recesses your stitches to help protect them from wear.
