    Well Bruce, I have a chance to get a landis and he said he might have an american you could get hold of. I think maybe the landis might be the best for what I do and mostly use. I only split heavier bridle leather. So now after reading this I am really confused. Lol.. Maybe I'd better have him see if those american flaws are in the one he mentioned. I am suppose to meet his son to get one tomorrow so time is a factor as far as information on these.

    Paul, I hope someone can anwser you here. I'm here asking for info myself.

    redding how about selling it to me then?? I don't need it JUST to split. I know I can just buy the thinned down leather but have alot of thicker bridle leather already. I want to split the leather, attach some small metal studs {2 pronged type} and glue it back together for horse tack, etc. I have other projects I need this for too. Thanks for the reply redding.

    Well Luke, I found one, but it's in Oregon. I'm abit nervous about paying someone like that as I normally pay with paypal and don't worry too much. Do you think I would be safe using just my credit card for this? It's a Landis P-30 in good condition. Is that a good model? The ones I have been seeing in person aren't this model. Thanks, all help is appreciated.

    Thanks twinoaks.

    Greg I just checked it out. That's just what I need. Now if my horse trailer would hurry and sell. That's one reason I'm selling it, I need the money for more productive things. I'm in Ohio. I wonder what the shipping would be?

    Living where I can drive there and pick things out in person I have an advantage. But as suggested, call them and let them know. They're very good about making things right with you. I have bought alot of leather from them and had no problems. I use alot of the english bridle leather. It's very nice.

    I am looking for a leather splitter like I saw in the weaver catalog. It splits 3oz.-14oz. leather. It's 8" wide blade splits the thickness of leather. You can dial it in where you want it and has a hand crank. It pretty pricey there. Is there any place else I could find one? Thanks. Terry

    Thankyou Mike & Don.

    I just love doing leather work & it's great to find this place. Seems like heaven to me.

    Don you're in Germany? I am mostly German and my Grandmother came from Stutgart .

    I hope I can find the one main thing I need badly to make my wok really nice. One of the skiving machines, like the landis. I need to be able to split a thick piece {horse bridle, etc.}, add some short-pronger doodads, then glue it back together and sew the sides. Know what I mean? My problem is all the mouths I feed here. I never have enough money to get this. I have collected sewing machines and know how long this can take, to get things on my none budget.

    One of my machines is the singer 241-12. I Love it for many things.

    Hello.

    I'm from Ohio and started doing leather work a few years ago. I have been a silversmith for some time before that. After I got back into horses I decided it'd be easier to be able to repair my own things and it just blossomed from there.

    I make dog collars {spike, regular, martingale, etc.}, horse tack, about whatever someone comes up with they want or I need. I recently made a wallet and am on the verge of crafting a few to sell.

    Doing all this is how I feed my animals, but all in all it's just fun! I'm thrilled to find this group. I haven't been able to find leather people anywhere.

    I look forward to sharing and picking up some tips. I also would like to have a different sewing machine. I saw in one of the posts about someone getting a Neely saddery machine. I too got one and now want to sell it and get something with a walking foot and maybe reverse, but wouldn't have to have. Anyone in Ohio and wanna trade?
