I now have 2 folding tables. The one collects stuff on top.of it. But I can see its use in say thin leather wallets etc to fold over. Also curious on value of them All good thoughts. This guy was making holsters primarily was my understanding but logically.belts and straps make sense R

I did run leather on it and it doesnt cut it and does burnish on some level. When I get.to it I'll see if particles are about but none visible. It sat a long time. I also have two foot presses, and eyelet machine a rossley folding table and a 29-4 to clean up among a bunch of snaps rivets and misc hand tools to.go through also

If it was a DIY they spent some time.with it and had access to a milling machine welders and knew some stuff. The motor is an open type not an enclosed. Whichbkends thought to a DIY

Thers no leading edge on the cutters it's like a slot was milled in it is all.in multiple.spots. And it sure doesnt cut leather The other strange thing to me is the plastic coffe can lid that is put on there almost like to keep stuff off the motor ...clearly someone added it.

So here is a large embossing roller. Wondering what machine does it fit. Outside 3 inches, inside hole is 1-5/8 inches width 1-5/16 inches. I've never seen one but maybe for the randall embossed R-32? Good paperweight :)

Yes vertical seems odd to me too. The one pic you can see the back I havent tried it but it appears you can lossen the plate the motor.is on and then use a screw driver to move the plate with the threaded rod up or down. Maybe it isnt leather or kydex achine at all but it's like nothing I've ever seen in my casual wood, metal and leather shop experiences. The bit also has different widths like a wood burnisher too.

Here's some close up of the bit. It's a 1/3hp 3450rpm motor. The bit isnt a cutter. I've used routers and shapers and it looks like one of those but it's not. I had picked up a bit like this from another leather purchase years ago which made me wonder . I ran a piece of leather in it and it does burnish. They also did kydex stuff in this shop so maybe it has to do with that?

I like it. Clean work there and a nice compliment to the bladed. Ross

Ok folks I'm trying to figure this one out. It's basically a motor with a sleeve and a round bit. The bit is metal and reminds me of a burnisher . Cant find any name on the machine. Heavy steel. Maybe a homemade rig. Ot came put of a leather workers shop but no cluenifnit was for leather. Thanks for any thoughts

Well I've started to leave my magnifying visor on which helps a lot but makes me slower lol. Thanks Thanks chuck Lol. Well I still make stuff that looks like a kindergartener gotnloose in the shop. But like you mentioned keep going each attempt we learn and improve. It's amazing how far we can get when we try

Had a customer bring me a hand foged knife that needed a sheath. Deer skinned lined, border tooling and initials. Eixket and Craig skirting leather. Open to constructive criticism as always. Ross

I then had another client a few days later want a basic black one just not as wide. He had the previous one for 35 years. Couldn't believe it held up that long. Here's my attempt

Well I got asked to make a biker/trucker wallet style. And never tried before so here are the results. I lined the outer 2 slots with deer skin and the back side too. Did some basic basket weave and other stamping. My stitching got a bit off on the machine which had to do with some errors on my part. But overall the result was ok and I had a happy client. Open to thoughts Ross

Ok folks this machine needs a home make me an offer, trade maybe? I dont have space for it and it's been tarped outside. Would like to se eit moved along for use Let's talk Ross

Clean looking work. Ross

My pleasure Thanks

It was fun. Thanks

After seeing @Stewartpost and then @YinTx I noticed some Christmas gnomes in my shop. They were a fun but demanding group who asked for lacing and coloring. Your posts guys sure got me thinking and I sat down and enjoyed making these 3 up which will be gifted shortly to spread some cheer. Best part to me was I didnt try to be a perfectionist with them and just had some fun. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and may we all have a great New Year.

I do not know the official answer but Wicket and Craig has tooling, holster and carving listed as the same it appears http://wickett-craig.com/leathers/tooling-holster-carving/ Ross

These are now SOLD

Appreciate the thoughts Ferg. Yep it's a 2x3inch size so limited use I suspect. Thanks Ross

Is anyone familiar.with this Kobo TC-950 hot foil machine. I'm thinking of selling it but cant find a price or a used one for sale anywhere. Looks like untied global supply deals in them. I'm not familar and have never even used it. Had it here from a shop buy out years back. Thanks for any thoughts Ross

Yep I dropped you a message Ross

Very nice look and some nice clothes for that knife. I am curious does the belt loop stop where the snap loop on the handle is or does it go all the way back down. If it goes back down is there a second rivet on the inside to help hold it? Just wondering cause ifnjuat 1 rivet it might move. I'm assuming it doesnt stop at the snap loop cause it would flip around then. Keep making it just gets better theore you make Ross

Thanks much
