Hi Tor Hi Bruce So the with sports I hear rather than. I'm quite robust, nothing there with athletic. Only I did keep quite. I was also in the force of our Defense Minister "Ueli Maurer". that means in his company, the Cyclists Company II/6. ( Rdf-K II/6 ) The very best Force. However for me myself amazing army me there... sent..............??? Well, that's one of the big problems. Also with absence of some good craftsmen today. It relies on many companies which the material supply you need to work. There is some missing me, ...wenn which continues, the craft becomes extinct because the material is no longer. Yes, unfortunately I was not there at the time when he visited the old toolmaker, because you would have to keep necessarily the pattern and the pictures of the workshop. Now I know only nocvh one in Germany, and I'll visit sometime soon. We hope that there is still something interesting to report. His wife told me once on the phone, that manufacture of saddlery tools was oh-so gone back. Afor have overslept the time also, they should have done a nice page of interest. These artisans supplied 100 years only the dealer of the tool, but never directly to the rich. No one knows the manufacturer and this is a very big mistake today. A tool brand is not enough, on each tool is also a name, but this was not common in Europe. So wait another month, I'll photograph the workshop there and report. Gruss Walter

Hi Tor.................... As for what sort I am weak, only what I myself made that I know well. I was paragliding, cave-diving have made........often in central franckrich in Emmrgence de Ressel, Fontdel Truffe, Trou Madama etc. ...... Then I dived trimix to 105 meters deep and of course I went riding and had also driven coaches. ...... (((-: and otherwise still a few other things. The side with the knives is good, I mus times investigate further. The Markzeihen mt "L in the Oval" is a tool maker from Germany. Was in Suhl and has produced from about 1910 to 2005 in several generations, he died a few years ago. When is something I'm not sure .... I think whose name was "Langenhahn". He really put forth a good Tools, ...............better as blanchard. A colleague of mine has bought with him his last "Plough Gouges." Greeting Walter

The sale here ....... (((-:Unfortunately not ....)) -: But it may be, I still know where ..... 2-3 has. If I get it, I'll give it you. Ray would also still like one. But the old man is very far away, it takes time until I can go over there. greeting Walter

Hi there. Here is an incomplete tool. But it shows us that even nicer tools from other Frmen, .... like Blanchard were ergestellt. There is a part of the company "Pride in Paris" with an ebony handle in the inlaid crest. greeting Walter

Hi there. Here are some less ineresantes, but also be dasmuss times .... ((-: It's about the topic pliers. Here is a selection of pliers klene I have often needed. sprengerae at Tern polls of coaches they are beneficial, but also including saddle-making in de English Söteln yes you have to put on the seat, and this is used mostly de pliers with a cam in it. The Blanchard are good and I hbe used it very much. But Aich The round-nose pliers to ds at Rngen leather strap and beautiful to pull together when sewing, or the big flat pliers to push to sew esch run. The clamp is a very big wide belts-spun pliers. The used of upholsterers often, but also the coach saddlery. Untr the seat cushion and seat belts were always put into the frame. Could tighten belts with pliers or with the straps trees of wood. The Sample is a very complex and old model. greeting Walter

Hi Ray ...Hi Ray ... The tool you mean. It is believed to have been made ​​only for Switzerland because here we have distributed the leather work of the army under the saddlers. For certain work, it was probably very helpful, but you have the blade ...... very ..... ... be very sharp, otherwise it is not good to use. I will, if I find one off operations, set it here in case someone wants to buy it, but it is very uncertain whether I ever find such a thing. They usually cost very little, the most saddlery can not grind the knife. Greeting Walter

Hi Tor The tools 4 - 5 - 6 or 6307 - 6307-6308 are normal parts known. The French-Edger are just always been like that in Blanchard, but they are of better Gomph to work. Was just the European form. The so-called "Abebner", yes the place is no longer in the program by Blanchard, another tool that has been abandoned. But the model as shown by me is simply the older version, without changing - blade. The models are even better for working, but they are not as easy to grind. The model is the way of "Rössler", so "Melzer and Feller" in Thuringia. The time has also worked with ebony buttons. the tool So from the years before 1914, because after the war was ebony hardly find in Germany without its colonies and with the great inflation of the 20's years. The tool in the picture 6203 is a grooved roller or "Molette", most of which were produced by "Rossler". They did not serve to mark out the seam, but only for a quick simple decoration. On the bell belt or leather covers, on top of the collars for Work of the harnesses, you could see that often. Well found, I have these tools by old saddlers, often in such that they themselves have used and the previous owner had already taken their workshops. I often had this for hours mourning the stories of widows endure by the saddlers .... (((-: greeting Walter

Hello leather craftsman .... Here's what's "Rieffel" or Creasser in English. Blanchard, German bone-baking, and one from the USA, I have series of Bruce Johnson, .... right on the very edge. The scwarze tool from Indian ebony I made myself, I use it for splicing of slings. Top center sees a "Osborne channeler" ... next to the pendant by Blanchard. Frensch-Edger by Blanchard, they are much larger as that of Gomph. Then some "Abebner" used to purchase next to a seam to cut away the leather. By Blanchard and "Rossler" from Germany. greeting Walter

Hello leather craftsman .... Here is a special tool. It was used in the leather knew bevel "45 °". Auda file until today I saw only the one time, and I immediately bought habs .... ((-: Was an old saddler and he has never used it. greeting Walter

Hello leather craftsman .... Here are a few bones. Bone Folder to say here also. The bones were previously used to, too beautiful to fold plans, ie in engineering and planning firms, they are used to do so today. The one still bears the mark of Blanchard. Beautifully as he previously formed. Then a tool for cutting leather cords and make the holes around. 4 different types of U-Gauges how to make suitcase used to fold the leather. And in the middle of two tools that were used only in Switzerland. One sees clearly what ....... abzuschärfen around edges, a labor-french-edgern you can also do well with wide. greeting Walter

Hello leather craftsman .... Here I have time to watch a few awls. When preparing as Satter also collars, you need some of those things. The here I have almost all equipped with new grips. I made ​​it myself "Turkish boxwood" on a wood lathe. Beautiful handles are unfortunately hard to find, and the beautiful from the U.S. I did not know then. Well, have not the classic European form. Then some hammers consisted of my, even nowadays are hard to find, and when, gibts sure a collector of a high price must be paid to the offer. So, I hope you like them. The long thin awls are called hair remover like they used too upholsterer. The Awl the ussieht like a dagger, which one makes also use the collar to the front to prick holes through which you can then pulls the belt through which you attached the wood on the collar. These pieces of wood that are visible on the screen, which are small sewing-shears, with which you slide loops sewn on belts etc. Then a few so-called "Geissfuss" or - "V-tools" as they are called here. "Geiss" is a Goat in Switzerland. greeting Walter

Hi Tor Also, die neuen Adler Maschinen sind sicher super, aber vermutlich fast unbezahlbar.....((-: Aber Danke für die Infos. Deutsche Version, ....................Prägeplatten selber gemacht. Aso nun noch zu herstellung von Prägeplatten für einzelobjekte. Ich habe die einmal mit Araldit-schwarz gemacht. Aradit ist ein 2-Komponenten Klebstoff. Ich habe dmals das Original Lederteil auf eine ganz gerade Unterlage gekebt, das Leder mit Grafitpuder bestreut .....und den Araldit darauf gegossen. Etwa 3 cm dick. Ihn dann aushärten lassen, und wegen des Puders konnte man ihn nun einfach vom Leder abnehmen. Und schon hatte ich eine Prägeplatte......... Ich klebte diese Platte auf eine Stahlplatte damit sie gut gelagert ist und ohne luft dazwischen, dann das nass Leder drauf, einen dicken Filz darüber, nochmals eine Stahlplatte darauf, und nun legte ich das ganze unter die Presse. Allerdings ist dazu deine Stanze nicht brauchbar, denn der Druck sollte einige Zeit bestehen bleiben, damit sich das Leder an die Form anpasst. English............. Embossing plates made himself. Aso now still manufacture of dies for individual objects. I once made with Araldite black. Aradit is a 2-component adhesive. I have the original leather then glued part in a very level surface, sprinkled the leather with graphite powder ..... and poured the Araldite it. About 3 cm thick. Then let it harden, and because of the powder could now easily remove it from the leather. And I already had an embossing plate ......... I pasted this plate to a steel plate so that it is stored well and no air in between, then the wet leather on it, a thick felt about once a steel plate on it, and now I put the whole of the press. However, it is not useful to your punch, because the pressure should remain some time, so that the leather conforms . Greeting Walter

Hi gate I'm going next week, the copper electrodes photographs I have taken as negative. It is so. today you can mill with the modern technology of CNC controls, these panels as unique as such, even in 3-D, so on a plate on the inside has a slight radius. Earlier, 100 years ago had to do that in steel as a single piece of hand engraving, ie, the gross wells were milled, and then engraved by hand after. This made these plates very expensive. When I left to make this Platen, since I have the pattern zuest be used to mill a plate Kuper. Because of the radius, the plates are not just yes, you could do it pretty well, just napped the many small pyramid-shaped which can be seen in the positve as wells that would, if one makes the disk directly to engrave hard as wells . So I first made a "copper-negative", which I used as an electrode "erode" for the "Steel positives", ie the actual embossing tool. https://www.google.ch/search?q=erodieren&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=pY4rUuyGCcGJ7AbOxoGYAw&sqi=2&ved=0CEIQsAQ&biw=1096&bih=572 Deutsche Version / German Langwhitch. Hallo Tor Ich werde dir nächste Woche die Kupferelektroden Fotografieren, die ich als negativ gemacht habe um die Stahlplatten zu erodeiren. Es ist so. heute kann man mit der modernen Technik der CNC Steuerungen, diese Platten als Unikat direkt fräsen, auch in 3-D, also auf eine Platte die innen einen leichten Radius hat. Früher, vor 100 Jahren, musste man das in Stahl als Einzelstück von Hand gravieren, das heisst, die groben Vertiefungen wurden gefräst, und dann von Hand nach gestochen. Das machte diese Platten sehr teuer. Als ich diese Platen machen liess, da habe ich die Muster zuerst auf eine Kupferplatte fräsen lassen. Wegen des Radius, die Platten sind ja nicht gerade, konnte man das recht gut machen, die vielen kleinen pyramiden-förmigen rauten die im Positiv als Vertiefungen zu sehen sind, die wären, wenn man die Platte direkt macht, als Vertiefungen schwer zu gravieren. Also machte ich zuerst ein "Kupfer-negativ", und das benutzte ich als Elektrode zum "erodieren" des "Stahlpositives", also des eigentlichen Prägewerkzeuges.

Hi Thor Did not see your post, just had a little time. I'll answer you tomorrow. Quick ............. you only the LABELS ... http://www.boglegreenwell.com/belts.php http://www.boglegreenwell.com/product_images/BOGLE-GREENWELL% 20MACHINERY% 20025.jpg The rest tomorrow. Greeting Walter

Hello Ledehandwerker .... Here is something about tool. Starting with the "Priks" as they say here in Switzerland, or in French - "Griffe à molette" .......... or English - "PrickingWheels" The sizes of the wheels go down there 4-24 stitches per inch. Where 24 is almost unnähbar. In between, one can see "Priks" with so-called "blind Wheels" a certain fondness saddlery equal to the seam wanted to push something in leather with iron wheels. Then the English "Prik" with the white button on top which was made from ox-bone on the reef. A very rare specimen. Ic had in the 30 years seen only once, except of course my part here .... (((-: Full linkis are still 3 tools with which the saddler stirrer most marked for a rough total on a simp decoration like bells belts for cows. Let it be just easier to sell with a bit of decoration .... ((-: More tomorrow, mene rough waiting, we go to the "Pig Roast" As they say here in the fall when the farmers slaughter the pigs and then they cook pig-roasting sausages, blood sausages and meat with sauerkraut boiler. etc. greeting Walter

Hi Tor Interesting links. This workshop presses were too big and too expensive damal. But it can be done well, of course. But it takes a very smooth straight top and bottom plate else makes you the tools broken. The company with the plastic Emboser Wheels, interesting. The technology has been known for a long time, only the steel rollers out there, usually very high in price. But interesting ................. greeting Walter

Hi Ray ...... Thanks for the praise. One does what one can. I always assumed each order so that was also difficult. That was the time this variety in the craft. And I love it when you have something on the table after work and it is well made and of fine quality. I have always taken care of everything that had to do with saddlery, all interested me and I've often made work ........... and that no money earned ...... ((-: But there were still things I would like to do, as a braided rawhide bridle as in the United States ....... (((-: I only wanted to be a goldsmith, but there was almost no a good job of apprentices trained man .................. and yet really genuine jewelery from A - Z produced. But I would still prefer to become a gunsmith, but also because there was no training courses to learn the job. Art - blacksmith would have been something ...... the same as with the above two appointed. But as a saddlery I found something and I liked it. Here in Switzerland you do so, a professional training which usually lasts 4 years. greeting Walter

Hi Tor This is hard to describe , I'll make the leather especially . It is a " smooth leather " , so a little oiled leather with a smooth surface as possible , and it must be very boardy ...... from the best zone of the skin. Earlier I also used leather tool , so with the hot " stearin " through- greased leather from Swiss Army .... = leather stuff as they say here . Unfortunately, the European Union has banned the colors you need to make this very hard greased leather to color , so I changed to " smooth leather " . 100 years ago, you use the same leather like I did today , so vegatbil tanned leather, " butt " as the swiss says the leather which comes from the top back portion of beef . Time to make it , it does not take much ...... 5 minutes. The engraver made of these plates , I knew certainly 30 years , he's last year with 59 years in the middle of working on the bench and fell over dead ............. He was a respected and very good professional man , well, he will miss you. In Momment I do not have the workshop I could recommend . But I could ask who can do it now ? ... ? These plates way, I first milled in a copper negative , then get spark eroded to a steel -positive. I myself did it by hand with a graver engraver " reproduced" To do a touchup to give the edges still a better contour. But I have already made with synthetic chemical molding of originals. Those were chair seats from the time of 1900. The original leather with the decoration you need a perfectly straight stick metal plate and make a frame around it, powder them with the leather and fully Gravitpuder giesen with..... "Araldite Black" . Then harden and separate from the leather , which is possible now because of the powder , and you've got an embossing plate . At the plate , the wet leather put a felt over it and put a steel plate on top and down below the press where it stops for a day. The Araldite is indeed a well-known adhesive , and the black is for metals. These plates tolerated but only a little pressure , do not remember it exactly , so think 3-4 tonnes. today is the engraving plates such as I have , however, become easier because the controllers of machine tools are much better than 20 years ago , 3-D engraving is easy to do today . greeting Walter

Hello Tor ............. Thank you ............ yes I still have 1-2 more splinters, but I put a later time in the forum. Well, the old saddler of which I have these small, which would surely delight if he could praise all of you hear .... ((-: But now the box loops. Yes, those are the one which used to en English harnesses. Unfortunately I did not have digital photos of my own work, but I put a link on which you can see with my work loops. http://www.moench-ge.../gala-geschirre The "Albrecht Moench" is a relatively good harness saddlery. I supply it for about 23 years with the loops. So now here how such images creates a loop and a few examples of the 25 stamping plates that I have. The press I myself have done, because I wanted to have a small press time, one that I could put on the bench. I press with 8-15 tons of pressure, depending on the size of the loop. So, now it looks to you but to myself. Oh yeah another thing. There are some loops make the box, but so far the only one which produces binch-sit the old fathers. Most are very soft and have little standing, the embossing plates are very thin and do not tolerate large pressure. Then it is extremely important that the dies have a radius, it may not be straight. Just squeezed a drop loops in use, that is, they bulge inside which looks very ugly. The leather is naturally minted wet, and the degree of moisture is probably the thing in this work is the really big problem. It takes a lot of experience to the leather just right, but not to make them wet. The loops remain to get used to in the form of one day in the supplied bolt-on Tools. Greeting Walter

Hi there. May be bruce, yes thank you, thought ds s intressat. The colors were so remaining in the original, I have only a little retouched. So here's a picture of my other grandfather. He was a farmer. A real Toggenburg, it's almost like a part of the "Appenzell", the costume is almost the same as in the Appentzellern. The pants were way out of yellow goatskin, but when the image entand you had the colors by hand painting the picture with the yellow was the color but not good. For a change from the many splitter. 2 Splitter I have, but I'll show you later. Next, I show you how manenglische "loops box" produces. Maybe it here anyway gibtn one or the other is interested in harnesses. I which you previously used the mene Shlaufen as 100 years ago on the fine English coach harness. Also on the buggy harness saw it. But first the image. greeting Walter Roth

Hello leather craftsmen ......... Here I have one very similar to what a splitter also knows of Osborne ago. But the French model untercheidet have some other details. The means for detecting the leather thickness is not provided with those forceps as at Osborne, but by a lever, the ...... here with a wooden handle is But usually you can see a rope on the site of the wooden handle which is pulled through a hole in the bench and at the end we fixed something like a stirrup, and then served with the foot, or pressed down. In addition, there is a device with which you could split the leather to the side edge angle. Here on the machine is still the mark of Meyer and Flammery to see the competitor by Blanchard, with whom he fought out a legal riding in the 20ies years. It was about the use of the greyhound as a trademark. Mayer lost the dispute to court. So much time entertainment. greeting Walter Roth

Macca ....... Well, I also apologize to you. So Sorry. My english ....)) -: I should probably learn but once properly. I have probably too much "vanity" focused on my word. Well, in certain things I am probably. I never see these images here in Switzerland, to my colleagues here do not tolerate well. That's why I enjoy posting here much because in Switzerland is not possible. The few here are jealous and have always been afraid of the other competitors. Well, then I will gladly go ahead and show you how the life of a saddler in Switzerland looks. And I hope here in the blog yet to find very many suggestions. Leather braiding, so the things I like very much and always there is something which is almost done here. greeting Walter

Macca. No, ....... that's probably quite a misinterpretation. 　 Macca, I assume you meant this word .... (VANITIES) in German „Eitelkeiten". The pictures show where my relationship with the Saddlery and leather craft comes. We always had horses in the family and I have therefore also such images. And I think it's interesting sometimes to see something that has to do directly with not only the "a" theme. I learned my profession in many long years, and I hope that the things that I show here are one or the other of use. Who likes his profession, which would also share with other such. I do not envy sought here in this blog, anyway. OK ............... greeting Walter

Hello simontuntelder So here's something about Saddler Chest of the Swiss Army. Of course it had earlier also in the saddlery with horse-drawn artillery, or cavalry. Who were better equipped, unfortunately I have found to no regulations. But here purely to subject some impressions. Such cases will be no more, they were dismantled by the army during decommission into individual parts and sold the contents of the crates for some part, only a few years ago. The things come from my colleagues who learned the profession with me, he was in his army saddlery. On the Reglment is in the upper left corner ....... "satellite Zwicker," So saddlery ud the name .... Zwicker. I went to the cyclists, I was in the booth of our present Komagnie Council for defense, Federal Councillor Ueli Maurer. greeting Walter

Hello leather craftsmen Here is something for a change. That was my grandfather in 1911. He was a cavalry officer in the army. Greeting Walter
