Leather projects with laser engravers-xTool P2

[@epoxymommy8643]

Following!!!!! I have been dying to work with leather since I got a Cricut maker years ago which is SO limited. Was so happy to finally get a laser that can do SO MUCH.

With the right machine, leather can be lots of fun. Enjoy

Great idea! I’ll probably sew it with my industrial sewing machine and use zipper foot. Easy peasy.

[@TheClackShack]

I have to do it the hard way...lol

As I’ve worked with leather, I’ve learned that a little rubbing alcohol on a microfiber really works wonders getting soot off. I don’t use tape, but the air assist on the S1 helps redirect a lot of the soot, too. Great video, sir!

[@TheClackShack]

I haven't found a way to get all the soot...lol. The alcohol I used is just a more pure form of rubbing alcohol. Thanks

Thanks for the tips I have been engraving on leather Bibles for Confirmation

Clack, a great video. I just designed,burned, and sewed my first leather business card case. I used black leather and thread for a stealth kinda look, and it came out awesome. I like your tape idea! Greg

[@TheClackShack]

Cool.. thanks

Actually, the only thing missing is a steak...... lol Greg

Very cool project!! Been thinking of trying something like this now I have some idea what I getting into. Thanks Don

[@TheClackShack]

Glad it helps

The only thing I would suggest is to cut your thread shorter (by half at least from what you had) before you burn it. It leaves a much neater and cleaner finish and still holds as strong. Other than that, great job. I have a P2 coming soon to help cut my leather projects.

Thanks

I do my leather wet, just like casing it. The veg tan can be washed after. No soot issues

[@TheClackShack]

Cool

[@sharonsimonson5392]

Veg tan leather is a must and safest.
