hello lois. I´m na amateur in this área; but i think the difference of hot stamping to embossing without heat is that for leather with the final treatment the embossing doesnt grab and with the heat it stays. for example the vegetable tanned leather the embossing with na arbor press its easy but i´ve tried with a treated piece of leather and the embossing only stays for a few hours. hope that you understand because my english is not the best. If i am wrong i hope that some one correct´s me thanks

any doubt just ask

I `m looking better and i think the embossing plate is steel and the metal part where the cartridge heaters enter is iron.

the cartridge heaters look like that itch. they are 1,5cm diametre and 8 cm lenght. The wires also look alike. The embossing plate is not brass it is iron or steel i dont know what is because i had send the piece made and i explained for what was the purpose, but the embossing plate in contact with water stay with superficial rust so i imagine it is iron

why pay 1500/2000 euros when you can do it for 200 euros at home

this is test of the embossing of this machine

This machine is running with 2 resistance of 300wats each; that is very good because it heats faster. In this moment i´m doing only embossing but i already experimented with foil and does a good job; you only have to be aware of the time.

just finished bulding this hot stamping machine Works beautifully.

thank you for all your comments

but using the pricking iron to make the holes till the other side makes any difference on the stiching?

yes; the first picture is the front of the piece and the second photo is the back of the piece. I´m using a pricking iron to make the stiching holes.

Good night. I have a doubt; when you do the saddle stich it stays only in front and not at the back of the piece? i´ve seen several videos and did the same and the result is the photos that i atached. Can someone tell me if what i´m doing is the right way? Thank you

Good morning. I think the same ferg.I when I saw a lot of videos of Italian craftsmen trimming with the knife, it looks for me ergonomically correct and very pretty as piece. Despite this is the beginning of my career in this area, i have spoken to many people that tell me that the tools are those that fit our hand, they can be tools that were not designed for this purpose. I think it is extremely educator and very interesting talk with artisans of the area, talk with them, share ideas, which makes me become extremely motivated. About your answer. portugal has changed a lot in 57 years, despite i have only 30. I'm not from Lisbon, but from Porto, the land of port wine, which in my opinion is one of the world's most beautiful places because still have that medieval aspect of a city in the downtown , with the bridges designed by eiffel, the port wine cellars, the marginal contact of the River with the sea, I think the city simply fantastic because the people say what they think without problems, very pure. it is less cosmopolitan city that Lisbon. But if you want my opinion, Lisbon still almost certainly have the same charm of the 57 years. The fantastic in portugal is that in 800klm of sea you have a lot of places to discover. You have to come back to portugal but to know other places;) you won´t be disapointed. I have to apologise for my English:)

I found this on brasil. Maybe would be most cooperative to US buyers. It is the same that you show to me. As the language in Brazil is the Portuguese this time I understood everything, but I think for my case should be more complicated with the costs of transport. What they say is: full set, blade, Spike driver and cable with clip blade. Material: Brass http://www.livrariapesquisa.com.br/?link=produto&produto=1454&categoria=&subCategoria=94678

I am sorry. I thought you were talking about the German website. This also pleases me. I´m going to send them an email to ask the price, if they send anything i let you know.

I´m in portugal. But if i have a response of them , what i can do is buy one more and send it to your adress if you want offcourse.

Me too. I asked if they had the catalogue in English because the German is not my best lol. But so far nothing and have sent on Thursday. Must sell so much to not even respond to emails Anyway...

I don´t know Doug. So I started to send emails this morning and so far got no response. But for what I've seen, I think the best option is the Blanchard Vergez since it is the most known. For what I've been watching the prices differ in a few euros, but have yet to do match which is the cheapest with fees and transportation. This weekend I'm going to deal with this and when i know anything I put here the comment.
