bruce johnson Report post Posted May 31, 2013 Twice in a week for fresh tools may be a personal best, but nursing a bad tooth/teeth has kept me from working in the shop much. It has allowed me to catch up on tools we have had ready to go for while – just hadn’t got to them yet for pictures and descriptions. Today there is another big run of 150 or more tools scattered throughout the site. Slickers – Best glass slicker I have ever held – CS Osborne Newark marked with beautiful wood. Also two Dixon edge irons – the ones you heat and run down a lightly waxed edge to give that finally pizazz of Old World craftsmanship. The European masters on Facebook leather groups talk them up highly. Hammers – A couple of the best saddler’s hammers I have had a hand on – CS Osborne and Blanchard, along with a really nice Marples tack hammer. Pliers – A few more here, including a cute tack pulling pliers with channels in the jaws to grab the heads without deforming them much like what you may be using now – recycle those tacks and reuse them. Channelers and Stitch Groovers got filled out a bit more Creasers – Double lines, single lines, and large round/layer creasers too. Highlight here is a Gomph #6 large round creaser with a super handle. Showpiece quality. Miscellaneous – One the “Rein Rounder, Miscellaneous “ page there are some really cool and eclectic additions! A huge scalloping wheel carriage that is CS Osborne Newark marked, dividers, old set of spot setters, collar palms, and conversation pieces/weaponry/Using tools such as collar/drawing awls, washer cutters and a straining fork.

kodiakthejuggler Report post Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Got a bit of an issue with your link there, Bruce... And I especially liked the description for the straining fork #2787... Edited May 31, 2013 by kodiakthejuggler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted May 31, 2013 Thanks for letting me know - the link should be fixed now. Yeah, I believe several leather tools could fall into the category of self-defense aids. Always thought a draw gauge might handy in close combat too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
