Discovered something new today Renia Aquilium. It's a water based contact cement made in Germany from what I see. I'm a little intrigued by it, but have not used it and curious if anyone here has? Especially in a glue machine? I have Potdevins that I use a thinned down latex based cement in, but am always looking for something new.

I pulled an Ace Hot Cutter model HC720wp out to clean up and use for a project. I've never used it before and spent a couple hours cleaning, oiling, adjusting, replacing belts and adjusting the reeves drive. Everything is A-ok mechanically, although it wont start by the on and off buttons....Works fine if I plug the under the machine plug into an extension cord though. Stopped working on it for the evening, had enough for today, lol. I am curious if anyone has a manual for this machine w/electronic schematics or a photo/two to share? I don't need a manual to figure out the issue, but there is one small thing missing on the front of the box. I don't kn…

All, I bought one of these used to restore and I think it's a Landis model 25 3-in-1 but I'm having a hard time sourcing blades. I can find blades for the model 25 5-in-1 but they appear to be different than this thing. Any help here? I'm just getting into bootmaking and want to use this to trim soles and skive lineman shanks and leather counters. Landis3in1.webp

I'm fairly new to leather work and doing it as a hobby. I'm slowly upgrading my Amazon tools and looking for recommendation or suggestions about machines or tools to put next on the list. While I would love to get a good sewing machine, powered skiver or clicker press, funds are limited and those type of machines are more of a 'win the lottery' type dream for me. But I'm looking to get something to speed up or allow more versatility. The things I have been building are; notepad covers and bags. I also have been doing so repairs / restorations for friends. The latter is my favourite, but I don't think I would even be able to recoup costs, so only family and friends. …

Hi there, Looking for advice as I prepare to rehab this recently acquired CS Osborn #85 splitter. Currently works fine, just want to clean it up and give it some TLC before mounting it in the shop. I will add a few more pics but most wondering if there is any watch outs or items to be aware of before I start tearing into this project? I will need to get a new main feed roller tension spring(not sure its official name)made since the current one is cracked. Also, anyone know the purpose and function of the small lever mounted just below the main feed roller control arm? Played around with it but don't seem to do anything that I can see.

I've had my 801` skiver for a while now and never given it enough work to worry about the vacuum system. Having said that it has been nagging at me in the recesses of my mind and I'm now thinking I might get off my arse and feed it enough work to warrant sorting it out. Trouble is I know nothing about it or vacuum systems in general and I'm hoping some of you guys can help me out. It's compressor driven and I have no idea how much compressor it needs to work. I have a 50litre one in my little garden shed but it's too noisy. (I have old guys either side of me). So I'm looking for the smallest silent compressor that will do the job and double as an airbrush compressor …

Not real sure what to make of these parts? They came with a Randall R32 that passed through my hands a little while back. Could be more parts that are loose that I didn't identify somewhere around in a box. The shaft is mounted in ball bearings and has a very fine shallow slot machined in it, but I doubt it's a keyway. Any thoughts? I had made a loose guess that maybe was some sort of combining attachment? Thought I better ask here before cutting them up for something else.
