  1. Ah... Thought I had a quick reply to my need for a clicker press for a while then!! The Avatar - thanks for your comment. I designed it myself - the scary thing was, my mother got what it meant immediately... I was after something unique to me - which also tied in the leatherwork side of what I do. So, 1. Its a steer/cow head 2. Such a motif is common in leatherwork 3. The face is made from the letters of my surname (apart from the steer-horns) - so is unique to me I have it on my polo & sweat shirts when I trade at Bisley & other shows, plus I have a big sign with it on & use the logo on any paperwork, business cards, etc....and have quite a few different leather stamps of varying sizes to emboss the things I make ...may even paint it on my clicker press if I ever find one
  2. HI Thanks for that... Yes, they have some very similar, but as with a lot of old-style engineering companies the website isnt very conclusive as to the full product line I've e-mailed them the drawing above & will keep my fingers crossed Appreciate the input Jon
  3. Hi Looking to get a clicker press of some type Modern, like the Lucris, or old such as made by BUSM Co. Not really bothered - but I don't have access to a proper workshop at present, and no 3-phase electricity - so only after a manually operated press ...been struggling with a book press with not much success & don't have enough funds to buy a new Lucris, which is a pity I'm located just outside Edinburgh but would travel to collect the right press...

  4. Hi Appreciate ANY assistance/advice which anyone can give - no luck yet - apart from BAD... Anyhoo - as I was confused for 21 years looking for a "staple" - I thought it best to post an image of what I am after... NOTE - these are FLAT... May even have to get a 2 part cutting die made by laser cutter or such!!! BIGGEST bane of my leatherwork life = sourcing the CORRECT metalwork fittings....
  5. Hi I have been working on a knife scabbard project for about 21 years (US M6 scabbard - as used in WW2) Problem is, or was, I needed a SPECIFIC shape of what I thought was a staple (thought this as the shape is like a diamond/coffin-lid shape...will try to find a pic) Last week I find out that what I'd been looking for was called a "Spot Rivet" - namely, the version made by Stimpson & given the product code P455. 21 year search over I thought... Almost! They are "out of stock" & - here's where it gets interesting - they need me to place an order of 100,000 rivets to make up a new batch Soooo, I just thought I'd ask.... "Anyone got any of these that I can buy??" I'd be happy to buy 1,000 - even 10,000 Please....
