Here’s my attempt to make a DIY edge guide for the Chinese leather shoe patcher a.k.a CLSP. A few months ago, I downloaded a 3D print file for an edge guide and it served me well. Some have requested via DM for a DIY version. This can be made using veg tanned tooling leather, a bearing, washer, screw and some elbow grease. I’ve included links to where the materials can possibly be sourced below:
