El punzon que hociste con el tubo del amortiguador te corta los circuloa a la perfeccion!!!!... No cabe duda eres practico y eficiente... Saludos

[@Cechaflo]

Como no pude conseguir un sacabocados de esa medida, tuve que recurrir a este 'tubo' para cortar las piezitas de cuero de 1 3/4 de pulgada de diámetro. El amortiguador fue de camión, ya inservible, lo conseguí en una venta de chatarra a 1 dolar.

Lol I remember having to cover buttons for wedding dresses as a kid, ever try doing lace or buckles?

[@Cechaflo]

Nice this video reminded you when you were a kid! Procedures are similar to doing upholstery buttons.

[@jamit2u]

Cechaflo I’ve done leather for shoes, this was a nice memory took me way back before Ma had her stroke at 94 she’s still doing ok but I sure miss those days when she was well

[@tapecariapicoense]

Essa máquina para afinar o couro eu não conhecia

[@Cechaflo]

Muchos artesanos del cuero y zapateros lo usan. Algunos tapiceros que trabajan el cuero tambien lo usan. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHTCcnStbaZ4jZI

Hello and thank you for posting this. At mark 1:37, you put a piece of leather into a machine, to mash it down and make it thinner? What is that thing, and can I achieve that effect without it using some hand tool?

[@Cechaflo]

Actually, to do the wrapping of buttons with the press and dies they should be thin enough to be folded over to the metal molding buttons. The machine I use is a leather skiving machine to reduce the thickness of leather material to 0.7 mm thick at least.kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4fcinZpYr-Vq8k The skiving process could be done by hand with a very sharpened knife. Not so easy but it could be done. Unfortunately, I do not have a video.

[@juliejdokelly4533]

Are you using the CS Osborne “heavy” die for thicker fabrics, or the regular die?

[@Cechaflo]

It is another regular trademark die. I did a slight adjustment for thicker materials.

[@UFOENGINE]

Hi, Cechaflo. I guess you have many different button and cutter sizes. Can you tell me what punch cutter diameter do you use to cut 3/4" buttons?

[@Cechaflo]

I do not have that cutter, sorry.

[@UFOENGINE]

@@Cechaflo Thanks anyway Cechaflo. Have a good time.

[@Cechaflo]

​@@UFOENGINE You could make your own calculations. I have used 7/8" buttons (bare core) My punch is 1 3/4 diameter. The idea is to have enough flap that should be folded over to the inside button reverse. The buttons you want to use are 3/4" ...1/8" less than mine. So, now you can calculate how wide your punch will be. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2XFhX2Ar8maZqc kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2jccntte7ZmnM0 Good luck!

Nice

Where did u buy the buttons used in this video?

[@dotacionesvalkyria3650]

Super!! Mil gracias

[@frankbray9416]

What about buttons that have a prong at the back, how are they made?

[@Cechaflo]

Procedures are similar. I do not have the special set of dies for these prong buttons.

[@maehay4065]

You make this look so easy but I am sure it took some planning to get the technique done to perfection! Thank you for sharing your wonderful work on KZbin Sir! 👍👍👍👍❣️

[@Cechaflo]

I really appreciate your kind remarks! You are welcome anytime! The press and dies certainly do the job. Long time ago I used to make artisan buttons from small round metal pieces because I did not trust these 'upholstery buttons', but one day I decided to inspect very close how these two part buttons are fastened together with a 'button press machine' and tested they are tightly assembled and difficult to separate. The hand press is not difficult to operate. What is important is a thin material to do the wrapping (it could be cut round shape with scissors), the correct size of two dies, and the 'half pieces' related measure for the dies to make the buttons. Suppliers, kindly would give us precise information.

[@deltajohnny]

The look great, as if they were from a big factory!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Each time that I see the leather skiving machine, I would like to get one... it's really useful!! 👍👍👍

[@Cechaflo]

Hello Johnny, Thanks for watching! Regarding the 'leather skiving machine' many leather upholsterers consider it as a MUST. Some time ago, I used to go to the shoemaking neighbourhood in this city and ask the leather artisans to do the skiving for me. These guys were very busy and I had to wait my turn. If I needed a strip of leather to do piping I had to go there more than an hour from here to get it done. Tired of that I decided to buy my own leather skiver which I have at my hand anytime.

[@ChrisHewittMedia]

Great videos. I am looking to purchase a die (#30) for general upholstery fabric. Would the button die set you are using be suitable for vinyl and soft automotive leather? My old boss tells me to just buy a heavy and double up the fabric. Any advice would be great, thanks.

[@Cechaflo]

Most of these dies are for thin materials. If you would use leather it is advisable to skive the piece to reduce the thickness (6 to 7 mm approx.) If you would use vinyl take off the backing cloth in the back.

[@Breal191]

Que es esa maquila verde? Que se puede utilizar en vez de eso? Parace que apolasta el material.

[@Cechaflo]

La máquina color verde es una 'rebajadora de piel/cuero' que sirve para adelgazar el cuero. Otra manera sería manual con un cuchillo desbastador.

[@NGinuity]

I have the C.S. Osborne version of that press but mainly do 3/4 inch buttons. It works great. I wish I had a powered leather skivver like that. It really takes the work out of it. Still doing it by hand...haha. Are those 1 inch?

[@Cechaflo]

The press I have is similar to yours. The wrapped in leather buttons outcome is of 1inch. The leather skiver certainly helps a lot.

[@justinenchengula7476]

how much this button machine?

[@Cechaflo]

The button machine cost approx. 100 USD The die cost 30 USD

Hi. What is the diameter of that cutter at 02:08?

[@Cechaflo]

The cutter is 4.5 cm wide (1 3/4" approx)

[@UFOENGINE]

@@Cechaflo Thanks for the reply. This particularly you used to make 36 sized button in the video, right?

[@Cechaflo]

@@UFOENGINE I do not know which number it is, but the diameter is 7/8"
