Tools shown for burnishing edge

Pre assembly of part which require burnishing on the edge (facing up position).

*Note:- use a chop stick to help hold work piece in position to make it easier to do burnishing work. This is especially beneficial for soft or thin leather material.  

** Have an idea to use aluminum bracket for this process and work in progress.

The sole purpose of adding a simple strap was to make it easier to retrieve this coin purse from a bag. It allow user to quickly distinguish and pull it out. As the coin inside is quite heavy when fully loaded.

Both strap end are just a simple knot terminated for ease
to replace them when required.
