See now that has a story all it's own. Needs a picture
-
See this again is how I get in trouble cause then I get crazy thoughts, wouldn't that scrap.of damascus be pretty as a gib. 3 hours later gib made. Or let's take my limited machining skills over to the mill and machine one out of brass. 6 hours later much cursing bingo . Hahaha but yes not hard to do at all thankfully I had one laying about. Ross

Do I now own this machine. Yet it sets eyelets. Yep the tool guy in me gets that glazed over look of oh new tool pretty fancy .....reality I might do an eyelet 3 times a year. So I'm guessing this machine was mainly for shoes back in the day? I'm gonna clean it up regardless maybe a quick spray of paint. It is foot pedal driven just not pictured.

All better. Do they usually just have 1. I have 2 metal handle Osborne's and both just have one, screw hits that so I assume you dont mess up the slide part. There is another fornthe blade too. So technically 2 . I prefer the all wood one for cutting straps myself. Pictured with the all metal osborne

I'll add it to the folding table lol! Very true Fred, I like bringing tools back to life,
-
Is a gib the c shaped partrhat goes in the slot ? The blade has one but not the slide part. It was missing. I think I may have a spare or 2
-
Now you've done it. I'll have to fix that. I already replaced a screw(was missing) and my father laughed at me it fit fine but the head was bigger than the inset hole. So I took it down to size and made it flush and pretty. I get way down rabbit holes fixing up old stuff R

This came as part of a shop buy out I did. Cleaned it up . Dont need another strap cutter but its prettier than the just metal handle ones. Thought some folks might like a look. Any idea on age?
-
Woburn mach Co. #2. Also from the buyout I just did. Always thought these looked neat . Needed a good bit of clean up. Functional regardless. Do they still make these or are they just oddities of bygone days?
-
Yikes at that price cant believe parts arent still available, I'm not sure all of the machines in my shop add up to that lol.
-
Sold pending funds. Thanks folks
-
I've always wondered what those were for Thanks for the info, makes perfect sense but I never would have thought about that. The above video is the only one I have found showing the Rossley table too. Best Ross

Looks great! Nice job and Your son will love it for years to come. Ross -
Looks similar for sure. Great looking wallets there too! Thanks for sharing
-
Both were from buy outside of leather tools/shops. Part of the package so to speak. I think I also have a leather tool buying problem
-
Two words. Road. TRIP!

So I now have 2 Rossley folding tables. There is very little Info on the web I can find about them. One video from Campbell Randall I saw. Not.much else. Are they sought after? Value? Use? Thinking wallets for folding the leather over for edges. Thoughts in general folks? Ross

I've got a hunk of deer antler I grab most of the time works great . That being said I have lots of other ways but that antler ...well that's the one lol
-
I need to get around more
-
Sounds much like my rossley folding table that at anytime holds measuring tools , misc pens and pencils, my eood carving tool bag etc etc .....I now have a second folding table so I need to see if I can sell one off cause shop space is at a premium and don't need another catch all !

Not sure in burnishing lace. But the confusing part to me is all the burnishers I've seen are wood primarily and seen a few plastic hand ones. So this being a steel bit made me scratch my head.
-
I gather these folks did some police stuff so that makes sense. Trying to figure out value if any for it.
-
We are leaning homemade. It was well built and made with skill but still may be homemade. The bits however I'm guessing were commercial but who knows. Ross

Lol that's a heck of a 2 am thought. Possible I guess. Seems like this may remain a mystery
