Holy Molley Rusty, you look so darn young in this video! The store is sure taking a tole on your age, but we all appreciate all you do for all of us Leather Crafters!!!

If the rough side edge won't work for you, just turn it around and push the edger from the other end. Leather has a built-in nap that cuts one way better than the other.

The tip about using crayons was brilliant. We use oxblood, greys, and colored waterstains on our belts, not just the standard browns and blacks.

Can the same process be used on alligator skin?

[@SpringfieldLeather]

The processes in this video should all work for alligator skin, with the exception of beveling the edges. Thanks for your question!

Thumbs up for the doggie!

[@chrisbyars4422]

OhMostBobulousOne Yet the cat got skinned, so I think the cat was stupid, not the dog lol

[@coridiaz1245]

Does anyone know what grit you would use to sand down the edges to even out layers? Thank you.

[@SpringfieldLeather]

Hello Aurora! We recommend using a few different grits. Start with a coarse paper (80-150), use a medium grit in the middle (around 220 or higher), and end with a much finer paper (around 800).

[@rickdowe7865]

I use Emery cloth seem to get a better finish product, just another idea

[@alexs7758]
