1. Cutting skin
A thinning knife is not a necessary tool, you can consider it again when you want to improve your craftsmanship. There are various methods for thinning, and there are also experts who use utility knives. I am used to using the round knife on the left with a groove digger or woodworkingV-shaped engraving knife. Although the beautiful and long-lasting steel is not very good, it is better than sharpening. You don’t need to use a grinding stone, just use a little bit of leather to sharpen the knife.Just rub the ointment on twice and it'll be fine.
Specially for people who want to use a leather cutting knife but don't know how to sharpen it. The new blade is extremely sharp, but the retention is poor. Poor, basically the sharpness is not enough to open a bag, so although the price itself is not expensive, the subsequent investment is not small. One of the advantages of a leather cutting knife over a utility knife is when cutting thick leather, and the other is for showing off your skills after you become proficient.
The steel ruler is used with a utility knife for straight cutting.
The main function of the right-angle ruler is to ensure that the cutting materials are at right angles, so as to prevent novice workers from finding that the two sides are not vertical after finishing the materials. Some of the corners of the thickened ruler are too sharp and may scratch the leather surface when moving on it. It is recommended to simply polish it with sandpaper after buying it to avoid damaging the leather surface.
Just buy any ordinary cone, it is used for marking and marking vegetable tanned leather. It is said that Taobao is full of all kinds of strange things, including 50-cent awls. . .
If you buy any one, they say it protects the blade, but I think it actually protects the blade. Desktop, if there is glass on the desktop, you don’t need to buy this. Generally, an A4 is enough. If you need to make a large bag, you can also buy an A3. 2. Leather treatment
Chenghes bed surface is still very easy to use. It can be used to seal the bed surface or edges. Apply it on Use a sanding stick to smooth it out a few times.
The main function is to nourish the leather and has a certain anti-fouling effect on the original vegetable tanned leather.
It is used for oiling and bed surface. I think a high-density sponge can be cut into small pieces and used for a long time. . . Seems to be useful tooFor absorbent cotton, the budget can be reduced a bit. 3. Paste
If you are a beginner and don’t do proper pasting, one bottle of ordinary Guyi White Glue will last you a long time. You don’t need to consider other glues for the time being. As for the film, Yes, I have never used it, but it is quite cheap, so it doesn’t matter if I buy it. Yellow glue dries relatively quickly and is not easy for novices to master. I often get it all over the leather surface and edges, which affects the effect of the finished product.
Ultra-thin double-sided tape can replace white glue to a certain extent when used in a small area, but if it sticks, it needs to be cut. The location of the thread will cause glue to stick to the cutting and needle threads. Of course, the most important thing is that it works wonders when attaching zippers when installing them. In the past, I couldn't stick the lining and leather of the zipper well (white glue couldn't stick, and yellow glue was easy to overflow and difficult to clean), which caused the sewn zipper to be crooked, so I didn't like making zipper models. Since I used double-sided tape, it has become very easy to install the zipper.
It is used to compact the pasting part after pasting. When using it, pay attention to prevent glue from overflowing and sticking to the roller during the compaction process and staining the leather surface. There are also many people who use flat-blade leather-edge pliers. The principle is the same. It depends on personal habits.
are mainly used to set the shape after pasting. Especially the white glue dries slowly and still needs to be fixed. There is also the kind that has a piece of leather on it to protect the leather. It is a little more expensive. I think an ordinary binder clip will do. When clipping it by yourself, just put two pieces of leather on it.
It is very useful for applying oil, glue and edge sealing liquid. It can replace cotton swabs.
