This is the method I have been using to burnish my edges for about the last year or so. I knew there was no way I was the only one using this technique. Very cool to see you guys collaborating. Looking forward to what you come up with next. Maybe a joint ASMR-style video?
Just made my fist leather project with bevelled edges, edge gum and a slicker bar. Looks so much better, even though I'm still learning, and using cheap ebay tools.
Pretty much what john dowe said, sharp objects finding your hands. I bleed the most often from hand stitching; gotta be careful where the pointy ends of the needles are and where you’re pushing them too. I’ve sliced my self only once while actually cutting leather, and it happened just as I thought, “It’s late and I’m too tire...crap, that’s going to bleed.” Every other injury has been from fumbling or bumping into a sharp tool. After almost 20 years of cutting foam, leather, and plastic, I’ve learned 3 important lessons, Look through the tool path before the cut. This way you can see if there are any obstacles (fingers or other stuff not needed sliced) in the way. Never ever push a tool harder than needed; two or more passes are better than one accident. Finally, use the right tool the right way, which includes safe handling, sharpening, and storage of tools. Despite all the sharp tools used in leather working, I think it’s relatively safe to do.

Everything about this channel is so cosy and warm

Two of my three favorite makers, especially because you're from Canadia...
Canada?
@@rockinHurley777 Indubidably, eh....

Thank you Ryan for simplifying the process and getting amazing results. We love all that you do! Well and Parker too ;-)

Love watching and learning....
Thank you so much for the tips!
I will not give up stratosleathergoods will continue to keep growing
You got this, Jose:)
@@whitandpark thank you 🙏
What number Edge Beveler did you use for this project?!
Is toconol the same as tragacanth?
It’s not the same, gum tragacanth is derived from tree sap I believe.
Is there a reason he beveled only the flesh side as opposed to both sides? Is this something you do with inner pockets only? Awesome video!
It's because we clicked the piece out with a clicker die. Which naturally gives the top side a natural bevel.
@@whitandpark Thank you!
I need two ruger old army holsters. How much is it
HI I love all you're videos. What size edge bevelled do you usually use. 1 2 or 3 mm. Many thanks
I have a doubt where I can buy good quality leather online like yours
Good information. Thanks 😊!!
Love it.
Hey,Parker why isn't he wearing a stock and barrel hat and t-shirt 😎
Excuse me sirs, can I ask what type of injury /injuries should a beginner be aware of?
Cutting your hand with sharp objects/knifes , disappointment and annoyance 😂 otherwise it's pretty safe
@@johndowe7003 thank you very much kind and wise stranger

@@adamfahrner1275 are there any leather work thimbles that can help?
I make custom slickers and would love to send you one. I have learned so much from your videos.
Hey do you have a web site
Wish i could get dye but California does not let me
Try fiebings leather colors. It's water based so it is CA legal and works great.
