Hello simontuntelder So, the perforators are now no longer so easy to find, usually they have those they also often use in their work. For old saddlers you find nothing, because they are all dead now also here in Switzerland. But there is still a safe somewhere, who used the machine a little and they would sell it, ...... just takes a little to ask. Costs ....? I think it would be so cost around 1000-1500 francs. Switzerland is generally an expensive country, but ............. it also deserves the workers a good wage. I would not exactly up to you to make it work properly, but ... they are usually in very good condition. The Lochpfeiffen this because if you can still get what is missing. I know of someone else who has a new man hole machine, ie ......)) that was never used. (( I once asked him what he wants for it ..... let's see what he replies. greeting Walter

Hello leather craftsman ...... Here I have some pictures of a belt-hole machine. The operation is so good to see. This is not an invention of Weaver .... ((-: but were n of Switzerland hergstellt long. Here by the company "Urdo" - "Urben and Co." The machines were widespread, worked very well and are easy to handlings. The Quality of this machine is top notch. The hole punch can be well replaced. So here are the pictures. Looks a bit different as the Weaver ..... ((((((-: greeting Walter

Hi Wolfe9 Yes, it is an old piece and guts certainly a piece for a collection. But such things also need space in my room and is really just now ..... ((-: But nice to see. Too bad that the content in the long time lost. Perfect, the list of content is still available. Greeting Walter

Hello leather craftsmen ....... Do you have something geehen ever .....?? You Findt it in Blanchard catalog. Yes, ......................it is a belt-tensioner for saddle makers, so that the tension the English saddle trees. Were stretched with 6 cm wide hemp belts the saddle tree. The part is around 100 years old, if not more. Very rare to see. Since I have learned the saddle making and have made ​​about 50 of them, I knew immediately what it is for and bought it immediately. I just got 10 of them newly produced, but the more modern, better model. The saddle trees of today are not the same as 100 years ago. Ah yes, the last picture of a small insight into my reserves greeting Walter

Hello leather craftsmen .............. Here is a splitting machine from Swiss production. The company, there is still, but the machine you can not get even sure 35 years. It was produced by the company Urben & Co. .... http://www.urdo.ch/index.html. This machine is the only Moell I know with which one can be very good wedge shape. This is the Rieme eingführt simply with the two rolls and split it, then turned back out again until it falls to the crank by itself, and the next belt can be introduced. Very einfch to use. Massive machine ÜR long operation. One can thus normally split, but it is not really practical to use, set the de thickness is too cumbersome. Consider here as a lot of fun. Ps: The company "Simon & Co. Biel" was only a distributor of these "Praktikus" sold Walter

Hello leather craftsmen Thank you for the praise, I need .... soon a new shirt for my biceps ..... (((-: Bruce: ..... many thanks, have a lot of joy to the splitter. Tor............. Well my English ..... -slang- ....)) -: My father was a farmer. I am the first saddler. We were in my family since 1872, always cavalrymen in the Army until 1972 when it was abolished. Because I grew up with with horses, I was Sattler. I will adjust evening more photos today, I still have one or the other splitting machine .... ((-: A big from Switzerland and a little of Meyer and Flammery in Paris. Slowly, slowly. greeting Walter ps: Tor, the little black machine is only 30 cm tall, the brown 38 cm in width. You see it in my hand. The black hole at the Scala was not labeled with numbers, so I made ​​this labeled. By the time you know your machine and knows exactly where it splits as thick.

The Plough is from Paffrath .... http://www.paffrath-remscheid.de/ a German Toolmakers of the still producing today. or all hole punches, etc. The Part is below .... To find ( in German Langwhich ) - "Niet- & Ösenwerkzeuge". Safety deposit box available that are still. The knife is from Toolmaker with the ...."L in the oval". I'm not quite sure, but the Nae man was ....."Langenhahn" .....and came from Suhl in Thuringia, ex DDR - East Germany. A toolmaker who worked since ca. 1910, and made very fine quality. So, the Knife is not the original of the Plough. greeting Walter

Swiss Army Leather Tools. Oh yes, because of the tools of the Swiss Army. They had a "Saddler Chest" with spare parts, belts, thread and tools in it, but there were few tools. Were interesting actually only the Half-Moon Knive. Which were of Swiss knife makers, the famous knife maker from Bern, "Backaus" and the famous pocket knife manufacturer "Wenger Delemont" ........ with the famous ancient officer swiss army knife. I have a rules here, in which he is depicted content of the Chest. Let's see whether it is possible the photography. greeting Walter

Yes, the military saddlery processes the "stuff-leather". Stuff to say here on German yes, it was normalized for the army. So it was called "eingebrannts leather" which was prepared according to a standard that is over 100 years old. That is, it was tanned in the pit, then warmed up in a room at 50-60 ° Celsius, and dipped in Paraffin or Lard-Steain or a mixture thereof. This was called "Burn" and it meant that the leather was completely greased through the whole thickness. Disability also process the skin in the stearic took it only seconds. Well, the Swiss Army has unfortunately not many leather items. Also with us draws the modern. The army of 800 000 in 1990 to `200` 000 was reduced today. Ah, in Switzerland, there are many on the left who want to lead the country into the EU the most, here is the almost bankrupt. Tanneries still exist, but the set of leathers the leather craftsmen in the United States less. If you want to know more, write me a message, I will reply in German. But good tanneries are .......... the following.

Hello leather craftsmen Here is a Machine is often referred to as one of Blanchard. She is not, she comes from a German manufacturer, whose address I do not know. 30 years ago I said a include representatives of the Blanchard, that they left the earlier making in Germany. These machines were sold in Switzerland in the years from about 1918 to 1942 and cost about 1924, 280 Swiss francs. Well, my dad got in 1933 only 80 francs a month salary. So, the machines cost a lot ................... This model is the very rare large model, it has a Mechanism with which you can also cleave angle. How to write this in english .......?? Wedge-shaped split off ....? The mechanism is not practical, the machine ..... but the best thing there is. I use everyday in the smaller model without the mechanism. greeting Walter

Hi Bruce. Thank you for the compliment. Hello Leather Craftsmen Here is a very small rest to fine machine with a hand crank. The manufacturer is unknown to me, but it is a pretty part. This not only drives the lower roll the leather, but also the smooth upper roller is driven. The device (left of the machine) to adjust ease of thick leather I have made myself, which is not original. I have only seen in 30 years as a part, no photo, no catalog Noting, ........... In Germany there are still some engineering works he has previously made ​​such things, but these companies do not own meh they once produced there. I hope they geällt you ..... ((-: greeting Walter Hi Bruce. And we do you like the machine at the end of the series of pictures here ..... (((((((-: greeting Walter

Hi Bruce ... Here are the Pictures from the special Plough. When the going very well when the Knive is absolutely sharp. And the belt is always perfectly straight, and the same width. I have a lot of joy this tool. Thank you very much. Walter

Hello leather craftsman Here, for the beginning of time as the leather splitter s model of Oborne looks, but at the but some details are different The 2-nd roll up (brass) and the crank down. This is the model that was common in Europe, and is now hard to find. So much fun, then more tomorrow. Walter

Tor............... Oh, I probably worded bad in English .... Spanish tools I can not show, I do not and I can not even take pictures. But I've worked in the teaching profession for saddlery with a Spanish Sattler together ..... Ramon commanded the. I have contacts in Spain, but I would have time to go to Spain on holiday. as I should have been years, but there have always moved. Well one else has a lot to do ......)) -: I've seen things Spanish, but also the Blanchard used, along with some typical spain tools. Unfortunately, I never took photos and it's been a long time. But the Spanish are the tools look like us here 200 years ago. Stopped somewhere in time. But I will now go into the workshop and photograph my Splitter. So for the first ....3-4 ...... ((-: Greetings Walter

Yes thank you. I will hire more photos in de next few days, over the weekend I have time. Topic splitter. And of course some tools to do so. Tools from Spain I übrigns almost never seen ...... But the American Osborne Gomp etc. that seem very different from those descended England. I mss but say that are of Gomph etc. really very fine and of good quality. And I'm going to set a job here that I have also done as a saddler. But it has nothing to do with leather ..... ((((-: It is a weapon, more precisely, a Submmachinegun - Villar-Perosa a Model of Italy from 1911 - 1915, with 2 barrels and 1,500 rounds per minute ........ per barrel. Well I know here "of topic", but I've read in the profiles that there are some who are quite happy to have Guns ....... (((-: When there is a genuine Swiss au naürlich so ...... they like something. So, to liven it may be a slightly different photo sher sometimes. greeting Walter

Hi Bruce ................ I have the part refinishet the knife very nice and polished woo, now it's 101% sharp. And I've tried it with thick leather of 4.5 mm and 2 mm thin leather and lo and behold it is simply a ................. Plough Gouge. And it just works great. We have all probably looked much too far away and not seen very obvious. Of course, you can use the device only a simple "cut" for making a hidden seam, but additonally different and better and handier tools by Blanchard. This works here as Plough but simple and amazingly good. One can well lead the attack left, and it cuts through the leather completely without problems. Also, it is not pinched or sheared off. I have it on the plastic plate that used the knife is dull, but 100 years ago, so they took to Limewood ( Basswood ? ) Poplarwood or what the purpose indeed almost filled so well. Greetings Walter

Hello Tor ............ I have been looking for years not to such machines, and I did not realize how cheap is to have something like that today. So it would be superior to whether I should replace my old eagle 5/8. The straight Sieck offer this Chinese amazes me, but it is also very pleasant for the price. Mus times I really worry about it. The old yes, the Eagles have already annoyed about a problem ....., generations of upholsterers ............ I mean ...... that you can omit the stitches never 100% correct in de machine. The triple feed are there better. greeting Walter

Hi Tor.............. Oh, did not know ...... it is now already copies of the Yuki's where the Yikis're already copies ..... ((-: I asked as soon as I saw the side of Sieck, wass are these machines are to be had for 2500 euros today, when the Maschine from Eagles still have cost 9000 € 10 years ago ...? Well hand sewing ................. High quality will unfortunately make almost exclusively by hand. The machines are so good, but I am better ....... ((((((((((-: Well, if you're used to, which is well out of hand. Greetings Walter

Hi Bruce................ Which manufacturer of the star in the hoof is, I do not know, I saw the sign only 2 times to the present. The other sign is here REJECT s saddlers partly as puff or simply referred to as shell. It has been a German manufacturer, but I do not know the name. These are the tools that were described in old catalogs as a German-made, just the alternative to the expensive tools Blanchard. I still have those catalogs here, but unfortunately these are no brands visible. The dealer kept the secret, they were afraid for their business ..... ((-: I go in about 2 months to twenty Wolfgang, who is in second or 3rd-generation tool maker, I will consult him on the subject. And if he can provide information about its competitors at the time, then I will Report here. Greetings Walter

HalloTor ... So you have more machines as I ...... I myself have only one sewing machine, one AQdkler class 5-8 is about 60 years old. I sew everything by hand. Only the sky în the coach-concealing I sew with the machine and of course the leather tops himself. But your Yuki is safe ne good machine that Yuki's here now have a good reputation. What is the cost to the Yuki 3-way transportation, because I might have a buyer for you. greeting Walter

Hi Bruce The Tassel is a German brand Tool. I do not know the name, but these tools were sold by various dealers Swiss. They have always described it in the Catalogs as a German brand, which was offered as an alternative to the expensive Tools Blanchard. Just as with the horse (or Rössler Melzer and Feller) and 3-4 other brands from Germany. Unfortunately, I no longer have this Catalog, he was of the firm "Lüscher and Stengelin Cuirs" in Bern. And the Company Buttler and Sons, I have tools. The company was established in the "Wallsall" the leather center from England. The company had 30 years yet, but tools they acted back then no more. They had their office a few hundred meters away from Dixon. And ganu so I must go have a Plough, which I really like. greeting Walter

Gate ..... I'm looking at a photo of a "Nähkloben" as it is called in Swiss German long which. The wood part or the sewing pincer. you used to sew the thing really ....? I've thrown away all those things, they are useless. What you sewing your work ....? I use the Swiss bdazu "Nährössli" ​​so the sewing horse. Thus, the part looks http://www.bernhardw.../eb690a48df.jpg ...... where I have all my harnesses sewn. greeting The new Dixon are my poorly made, the Barnsley I like, but only the very old. I had a very nice from England who was here once, should have bought it. Everything from Gunnmetal .... Well, someday I'll find one. For practical purposes, I think better get updated very often Plough as that of Blanchard and Related Models. They are also better than the models from England. Always provided that the knives are properly sharpened, that is, on the right side plane, and the inner side obliquely outwards Greetings Walter

Hello to the USA So I find the really good stuff, the ammunition belt with the teeth instead of the partons, really great idea. Noteworthy your sense of humor along with design and good work ....... It shows imagination and needs a good craftsman as well as an artist, only if it comes together gibts such things. Congratulations. Walter Roth

Hello Tor You have some good stuff, I like to see what others use for such tools. A Dixon Plough, the model I have none, I have not yet found the right, that is, I do not really like Dixon, a Barnsley could be better. Well, I would not for anything easy money ......)) -: And the rich Americans who always put their money at UBS, not with me ....... unfortunately .... ((-: "If time will tell," ...... or just Barnsley. Hope you understand the old saying in my english ..... (((-: I am amazed that you all Meyer and Flammery Plough have the wind made ​​of steel instead of brass. You will find very rare that we thought here always, were very expensive and rare only during World War 1 and 2 produced such as brass. Greetings Walter

Hi Volks Here is a company which is still producing some knives. http://www.carl-schwarte.de/Katalogstart.html Greetings Walter
