Author: Mingjia Handmade Leather Goods Weibo: https://weibo. com/u/1118860344 Edge sealing and edge ironing are delicate and essential parts in making leather goods, but how to achieve a round and full edge oil effect has troubled many leather lovers. Therefore, I will share the methods used by Mingjia here, hoping to be helpful to leather friends. Main materials: leather, hand-stitched thread, pure cotton cloth, ironable edge oil. Required tools: leather knife, edge trimmer, 100-200 mesh sandpaper, perm (F3.5, G2, S0.5), Steps for making edge oil box, sword-shaped wax knife, diamond chopper, and wax block:

First of all, when cutting the skin, make a smooth cut. If the cut surface is uneven, it means more time will be wasted on polishing.

Cut flat After cutting, modify the chamfer.

Then select 100 - Polish with 200-grit sandpaper from the outer edge inward to make the chamfer arc transition natural. This kind of polishing makes the edge form a shallow arc, and the plasticity of the cut surface is done in the early stage. Polish the cut surface with a little fine velvet (cortical fiber) so that the oil on it is tighter and less likely to fall off.

After polishing , first choose F3.5 (3mm) to iron and chop the positioning line.

The positioning line completes the effect.

Then use G2 (2mm) irons round and full decorative lines, and uses arc pressers on both sides to achieve a shaping effect on the entire arc.

Selected here With the combination of F3.5 (3mm) + G2 (2mm), the target is on the positioning line when cutting. PS: Another option is to use F4 (3.5mm) to iron and cut the positioning line, and use G2 (2mm) to iron the round and full decorative line. When cutting with this combination, it should be cut in the middle of the positioning line and the decorative line, close to the positioning line. On one side of the line, you can see two lines: the positioning line and the decorative line. (Not demonstrated)
