Unlined edge thinning drum practice

< /p> Unlined edge thinning drumming practice. I don’t know why the leather edge drumming skill has become very popular recently. Adults and novices have joined in to discuss the practice and show off their skills. Since there are many people who play with thick leather in the manual circle, thinning the leather edge has always been a "high-end" skill, so the thinning and bulging of the edge without lining has become the most popular. I saw everyone having so much fun playing the drums, and I couldn't help but practice a little bit (TATs finger was sacrificed to the broadside shovel again). 1. Cut a slightly thick piece of leather (about 2.5mm thick, ensuring there is an obvious height difference after thinning). Press the front edge. Also press a border about 5mm wide on the back.

2. Use Curved Woodworking The carving knife digs a groove along the edge of the back, the depth About 1mm is fine.

3. Usage Use a wide shovel to smooth out the protruding parts on the outside of the groove.

4. Trimming , so that the thickness of the thinned part is about 1mm, and the height difference will be more obvious.

5. The wide shovel is still a bit too big. Use a flat head and a curved woodworking knife to continue trimming until the thickness is even. (Digression: You don’t have to be superstitious about professional leather tools to play with leather. In fact, many fine woodworking tools can handle leather very well and are cheap. I have saved several woodworking carving knives, which can be used for thinning and grooves in details. It can be used.)

6. Use a wooden stick for polishing to press the edge tightly from the front, and a beautiful bulging will appear. Then do whatever you have to do. Trim edges, punch holes, sew.

7. Suture How it will look in the future. Looks ok.
