Wondering if anyone has ordered the cantilever manual press from WorkonLeather store (over Etsy)? I’m in need of a press. Tried a 4 ton press, but ended up returning it, because it was way too heavy for me (I need to maximize my small workspace, so need something I can move around). I also have a very limited budget t this time. Does anyone have a manual press? And do they work for stamping as well as for cutting? Not looking for huge production here, maybe about 50-60 stamps (and same for cuts) /year. My hands are getting arthritic and tooling is becoming increasingly hard, so I need to stamp images that are too complicated to tool. Link below, so you can see what…

The Atom Se25 that I have in my shop here is starting to feel a little weak.....But not a good time to send it off for a rebuild. (I can't afford the down time). It's been leaking around the top seal a little and seems to have less power to cut than it used to.... A guy not excessively far away has a Sandt Hydraulik" 20 Ton clicker for sale. Looks pretty sharp. Trouble is, I've never used a Sandt clicker. I'm guessing they might be German made? I'm curious if they're still made or old machinery that's rebuilt over and over? How do they compare to Atoms? I've only owned Atoms (Se25 and 999). Ok, briefly owned a Reece at the dawn of ages..... Wha…

Just looking for any feedback on the machine. I know it is small with a 5" cutting area. Any input would be great. Thanks.

Have been messing with leather for a few years. Mostly knife sheaths, muzzleloader bags / accessories, phone cases, & wallets. Lately I have had a lot of requests from friends for wallets. The time involved cutting them by hand is kind of taking the fun out of things. It's very tedious to say the least. Just wondering if anyone out there has tried any of the cheap dies and what their experience was? I understand that you get what you pay for. I'm not running a business, just looking for a low cost option to save some time. Thanks in advance, this is my first post on the forum. I have tried searching here and on other sites.

I’ve been learning to make replica Nikes/Jordans using the lasting board and tack method but have become more interested in speeding up the process and notice that most shoes these days are manufactured using the Strobel method. I can’t seem to find a lot of information on them or heck where to even buy them beyond Alliexpress. many thanks!
