Just restarted leather as hobbyists and amazing how a little sharpening improve over the new tools I'm a BlackSmith Hobbyist and learning. This video was a great experience 👌 thanks
.....Or you can use a wood rasp, like I do. They come in all shapes, I like to use a rounded one. I can distress leather edges this way also. Practice on a piece of scrap leather first. 😎👍
Nice idea--would think starting with a flat blade would save a lot of time vs grinding a Philips flat... But I just warmed up end of toothbrush to bend & taped some sandpaper onto it & works nicely, too. Not as durable, though!
@HandandSew Good point! No, I didn't temper it again. I agree that would be correct, but it's a leather tool that won't be used 24/7 and I felt it wasn't essential. I will let you know in 6 months how it works and if it was a mistake :)
Hey Stuart, thanks for asking. Matting and scratching the leather is necessary in the process of gluing leather elements. Before gluing them, matt the place that will be in contact with the adhesive. You can do it in any way - with a knife, stylus, awl, a special tool such as leather rougher or any tool that has sharp edges and we have them at hand :) Thanks to this, the connection is more durable, strong and the glued elements are practically impossible to tear without damaging the skin.
You usually only need to rough up the finished/top grain side--improves the holding power/bond strength of the adhesive. A tool makes it easier to be precise, but sand paper or scratch awl works, too.

Awesome! Do you forging knives? 😊
great idea!!
when i started out in the craft, i made my own "japanese" skiving knife out of a stiff paint scraper from ACE hardware.

I will definitely be doing this
Great!
Good job I've been thinking on making one myself, even if it comes out too ruff in the beginning you can dial it back as you see fit.
Make yourself one and let me know how it turned out :) good luck!
Really good quality video keep it up
Thanks! 🙂
@@raw_leather no problem

@@MotoFr3ak2429 Why not! :) thanks!
где взять ржавую отвёртку?
Badass! Subbed
Thank you!
Did you re-temper the steel after bending it?

Please center and balance the grinder disc, it make mi sick watching it 😉
Heh;) good point! Next time I will;)
Excuse my ignorance, but why do you rough the leather up?

Which compound are you using at 3:10 ?
@Emil, it's Osmo Polyx-oil (Transparent)
Оно ж со временем просто заполируется о кожу 🤷🏼♂️
Можно насечки более глубокие сделать)
Сразу видно человеку делать нечего
:D Спасибо
Good idea but...
Garbage, it doesn’t even work. You cut from a frame of it doing nothing to another showing the leather roughed.
It works fine :)
I'm convinced enough that I'm ready to try it myself. If it doesn't work I'll let you know.
@@Struthio_Camelus Great!
Such a hater.
After 30 minutes it finished the job
