British Pathe is a really good site, put any keyword in the search box (these 2 were from the word "tannery"), some of the films date back to pre WW1 a lot of the films are about british empire countries, and breakaway colonies

This one is off topic, but worth a look, it's how they used to make scrubbing brushes

this site is a real time waster, you can drift for hours from one subject to another, I defy anybody to not find something interesting!

Really great site Mike,

I wasted a good half hour already, found a few shoe making and soccer ball films like this one - http://www.britishpa...cord.php?id=552 - complete with clickers and hand stitching.

Hej. Jag kom hem från Tärnsjö igår kväll. Ska ha kurs på sadelmakeriskolan i höst, tre veckor, så vi klarade ut tider o logistiken igår. Det är ganske intressant att spankulera runt i garveriet i se hur det går till att göra läder.

The old guy stretching the pieces was obviously not in his usual working position, using the stretching pliers is hard work, especially for a 70 yr old. I had the chance of getting a lot of press knives etc. to do with football, rugby and other sports from an old sports shop and factory some years back the old guy was at the point of accepting that he would never use the stuff again, (he had just retailed stuff for years) and he would be better off selling it all to me! after leaving it a few weeks, I went back to finish haggling with him over a price, and found he had died, and his son had taken all his tools, the press, and press knives sewing machines, the lot to the scrap yard, I was gutted

I haven't gotten through them all, yet, but ones I did watch are fascinating, not just from a technical standpoint, but also the cultural/economic aspects of it. Sure glad I'm not a tannery worker, though. Ugh.
