What is the Best Edger Size for Your Leather Work?

[@terrybeeson8888]

Another informative video. I try to guide beginners like me to your videos because you get down to the basic stuff without a lot of fluff. So many take an hour to go over something that should take 10 minutes. Thanks for being the 10 minute type!

Great video. Wondering about the right edger size. This really cleared it up for me. Thanks, so much.

I appreciate your tutorials. I am just starting out and will be watching your other ones as i go on. Thanks.

[@NateBartlett]

Thank you. I'm just beginning, still in the research phase and trying to spend my money wisely on my first few tools. I needed to know what size beveler I should buy for my first one, and this video was extremely helpful.

[@mishellbrossier1605]

Thank you! I've watched a lot of videos and this was absolutely the most helpful!

[@MysticHaya]

it would be helpful if u use edge cutting size in mm instead of numbers as every company have different sizes for different numbers

[@timsanders4621]

Man, I so appreciate the information you share.

[@JoshRShupe]

I’m so glad you made this video thank you so much

[@flutievids]

Thanks for all your videos Don. I always look forward to them. Always find some great tips, especially your video on machine stitching. Thanks again.

[@tonynet2709]

Answered some questions I've been having. Thanks!

I’ve ruined too many projects from having the edger jump. For some reason I find edging to be one of the hardest parts of the job. I suspect my edgers aren’t sharp. I will try some of your tips.

[@Handles-R-Lame]

Ur not alone, ive gotten a few nasty cuts from edging myself.. but ive gotten better without having to purchase an expensive edger, i still use my tandy edger personally.. Few tips id recommend is: firstly take some high grit sandpaper on a needle and sharpen the inner edge of the tool, then polish it on the strop with some compound. Secondly, go slow and take ur time while keeping ur angle at near 45 degree, while putting pressure downwards to the table. And lastly, keep a few bandages on stand by because getting poked by an edger hurts like a mofo! Maybe even some neosporin too!!

Don Please show edging a project that is lined. Such as 8-9 oz on the front but lined with a 2-3 oz.

[@lwoodball3676]

You are my go-to place for leatherwork technique. If I'm edging a belt of 7-9 oz. lined with 2-3 oz. do I want to round to the centre, which cuts off a lot more of the lining than seems to look right. Thanks very much.

[@Handles-R-Lame]

I would personally use a smaller edger for the inside then a slightly larger size for the outside of the belt. Then ur sanding and burnishing should round it altogether for you. I wouldnt edge to center personally when using a liner imho

[@th.burggraf7814]

Thanks for all your good advice. Very much appreciated. 👌🏻👍🏻

[@edwardhunts]

Those C.S Osborne edgers may have been around $20 when you bought them, but everywhere I can find them they're closer to $50 now

[@Handles-R-Lame]

Lolol right. They are not cheap no more but they are cheaper then a Palo Santo, Rons or Barry King.

[@orion7741]

a quick and simple internet search brought up the common C.S. Osborne edgers and the vast majority of them are priced between 27-35 dollars. but they have always been around that price(at least for the last 25 years or so....) their prices do not change much over the years.

[@edwardhunts]

@@orion7741 other than on ebay, I can't find them for less than $45. Would you mind giving me your search terms?

[@12ernie]

Great video! So what size would you use on 1 1/2 “ western belt, a #4 ?

[@markb3129]

Great info.✌

[@Tammy-un3ql]

👍👍👍👍

[@LizDavis2009]

When I make certain types of holsters, I use 4 layers of 4-5 oz leather. I always use a #5 Ron’s edger, but the edges don’t seem to round off nicely. What size edger would you recommend for this project Don? TIA!!
