Outside Portion Of Walking Foot Won't Move.
oldtimer replied to Dawn N's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
The outside foot only moves up and down, not forward and backwards. If it doesn´t move up and down there is a problem. -

There is an article on Paniolo saddles in the latest copy of The saddlers and leathercrafters journal, written by Pete Gorrell

The first version made of iron and steel parts were good machines. The "upgraded" version mede of aluminum and zink inner parts is almost worthless, a piece of shit! I have had both models.but sold them and bought a real good Adler 205.

(I don´t think there will appear any bubbles from the rawhide, as it does not contain any air like leather does.) Soak it in wateruntil it is pliable, then stretch it and let it dry. Get a can of Vaquero rawhide cream and work it into the rawhide when almost dry.

I would call it a miracle if I can find one copy, Frank! Knut

Potato starch will help. Let it absorb the excessive oil and brush it away

I would definetly choose an old steel draw gauge. I have had an aluminum draw gauge and the threads in the metal wore out after a while.

A tool to make lacing holes

It is a clickers knife, (shoe makers tool) according to the Dictionary of leatherworking tools / Knut

You could also use a tree from Bowden: Old Time Slick fork, which will make a period correct saddle.

Timberline saddle trees Inc. has a tree they call Meana. They can make anything you want!

I think the stroke of the bicycle bolt is too short. The jaws of the stitching pony won´t open enough to be useful. The wooden version looks better. / Knut

Tor. MAFAL = Maskinfabriken Lindqvist, Munka Ljungby ( en ort utanför Ängelholm i Skåne) Bara jag får tid ska jag försöka snygga till den, ta bort rost, blästra och lacka , sen kan jag sälja den eller byta. Problemet är att frakt till Norge kommer nog att bli dyr - den är tung! Vi får se vad som händer, Tor, men du står först i kön när den ska bort!

Thor. here are some pics of the splitter. / Knut

Hi From A Swedish Lurker

Hej! Snyggt jobb! var håller du hus? / Knut -
H Thor. I read on the bottle of the "magic solution" and it contains citric acid and phosporus acid ( citron -och fosforsyra) . The rust just disappeared in half a minute. The splitter is Swedish made . I already have one that is exactly the same, so I guess I´ll sandblast this one and give it a new paintjoband try to sell it. /Knut

Thor, look what I found last weekend: a plough gauge almost identical to yours, plus a german? made round knife. I guess they are made by the same maker as the handles are identical ( I had to shorten the round knife handle to remove a crack, and to make it fit my hand better) The round bar on the plough gauge was corroded so the brass outer layer was destroyed. This morning I turned a new solid brass bar so it is now like new. The round knife was very rusty but I brought it to my friend, the gold smith, and he had a "miracle solution" that removed the rust completely in a couple of seconds. The knife is now sharpened and ready for duty. I paid ~80$ for the lot / Knut PS Tha lady also gave me a hand crank splitter for free! Not in the best condition, but... it can get a new life
