Having attractive smooth edges on your leather work projects is more than likely one of your main goals. As LeatherHeads, we all want that super clean edge.

It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the amount of information out there on different edge finishing techniques. One of the things that isn’t talked about much is using the correct size edger for the material you are working with.

This video is focused on using the best edger size for your leather work projects.  Simply using the wrong size edger can be the difference between a good looking edge and an edge that just doesn’t look right.  

Quick Tips to Easily Edge Leather Straps and Strips

In this video, I show you some tricks I have learned to easily edge leather straps and strips.  Strips of leather that are wider don’t seem to be as challenging, but those that are narrow can be a problem.  Sometimes even dangerous.

Having a sharp edger is the first step in getting the quality edges that you want to see in your work.  But there are some things that you can do to make your job a lot easier.

The edger that I am using in this video is the #3 Ron’s Edger.  I upgraded my old set of Osbourne edgers (which I used for many years) last year and I love them.  If you are interested in trying some, give Aaron at Maker’s Leather Supply a call.
