Skiving edges with a dull French edge beveler is a nightmare. It's hard on your hands, and it can ruin your leather. Simple sharpening techniques can make your French edge beveler a lot easier to use.
Here's what you'll need:
Green polishing compound
Leather strop
Veg-tanned leather scrap
Cutting mat
Metal ruler
Cutter
Sandpaper (forgot to include this in the video)
Leather glue (I use water-based adhesive in the video)
Glue spreader - optional (You can use an applicator)
Metal roller - optional (You can use your fingers or a hammer)
