Tool Talk: French Edger

How to use a French Edger.
A comprehensive instructional on making your leather pieces thinner with a French edger tool!
In this video, Shane explains the differences between a traditional skife and a super skiver compared to this leather tool. If you've used any of the tools mentioned above and still find it difficult to use, the French Edger might be the leather tool you needed to make your leather the correct thickness for your DIY project or your leather brand!
We can't wait to see what you'll make!

THAT INTRO!
THE MIMING!
sooooo good

[@lonsdaleleather]

So glad you enjoyed it! The directors instruction was "Waste as much time as possible. Really squeeze in as much as you can"

[@DavidE-yk4en]

Very helpful tool and tips. Got it a month ago, made skiving so much easier as I had to hand skiv with my knife before.

[@lonsdaleleather]

So glad you enjoyed it! The French edger definitely changes the skiving experience

Great video... a good follow up might be how to sharpen an edger. (hint)

[@lonsdaleleather]

Sharpening leather tools is definitely a useful skill! Let me get right on this!

[@GaryOBlenis-gm6ow]

Any video on cutting leather would be good . Also anything on different stitches would be interesting .

[@lonsdaleleather]

That would be awesome! That might or might not be the next video on the list

Best edger!

[@lonsdaleleather]

Shane or the tool? Either way, they're great!

[@brietazambrano]

Dom needs to work on his angles hahaha. Great info on the french edger and technique.

[@lonsdaleleather]

We heard that his angles are the best in the biz...we might be wrong...

[@jabbott4506]

Tabernac 🤣

[@lonsdaleleather]

Mans frustration needs to come out

[@lowspeak]

Wish I had gotten the 8mm instead of 12mm

[@lonsdaleleather]

The 12mm?! That would be so efficient!
