I am selling my trusty industrial Clicker Press which has served me well. I am located in Grass Valley, CA, and I got it a year ago, and it's the machine that I've needed this whole time. It's a complete game-changer for my business. Unfortunately, I have to now move and downsize as we are being kicked out of our space, so I reluctantly have to let it move on. This machine is in working condition and is invaluable for leather production! The cutting bed is 24" x 12", and the swivel head is 12" x 12". This machine is a 10 Ton Clicker and its cutting power and depth can be adjusted for just about any die height. It has new capacitors in it and runs powerfully. It is a single-phase and will plug into a 30Amp 220-volt socket. it also comes with a 20 to 30 ft 220v heavy-duty extension cord. This machine will become available for pickup on April 25th as my business is transitioning spaces, and must be gone by the 30th. You are welcome to come to see it beforehand. BRAND NEW this clicker would be over $6k to order. I'm asking $3,500.00 or the best offer. Bear in mind, this machine is very heavy, nearly 1000 lbs. You would need to show up with a lift gate and a pallet jack to move it. I would also recommend coming with at least two other strong bodies to help out and do it well. This machine is made by a company that can be reached for technical support, with whom I have regular contact. The manual is also included. Please contact me if interested.

I love a European pricking chisel, especially among them J.Dixon. I'm trying to collect them. I want to buy or exchange what I have to own it. Please tell me if you want to sell them.

Hey guys, I am making a 1" thick x 12" diameter veg. tan (sole leather) wheel with a 3/4 ID. for a knife co. they use it to knock off burrs after sharpening. I glued up 4 layers with Master's cement. My issue is that wheel is not very true or flat on the OD, I guess i didn't mate some of the edges that well. So, in some areas there is about 1/16th or less off on the edge. What would be a good way to flatten or even out the area? thanks! Frank

I have a group of tools I am looking to sell as one lot. 19 pieces total. $50+ shipping. These are brand new tools. I may have used a couple of them once. They are in great condition and ready for use! Email me Rachael@heavyleathernyc.com I can send more photos if you need. Another photo....

I recently purchased this small Rose round knife. Was looking for this size 3 1/4 " to 3 1/2" blade. Got it fairly cheap as it appears someone was using it to pry things open. I have a local sharpener who I figure can help me with the blade damage. I am looking to remove the handle to replace the ferrule and also to tidy the handle up. However I cannot find how it connects to the handle. There is no pin that I can see. Can someone with experience with Roses give me some idea of how to get it off?

Hello. My name is Kira and I have just inherited a lot of old (discontinued) tooling leather punches, stamps, leather and leather dyes. Would you by chance know anybody that might be interested in buying these tools from me? I have included a picture of the metal tools, which all are in good shape. I live in the San Diego area, Escondido. If you would like to contact me please call me (Kira) at 760-522-5946. Thank you for your time. I'm asking $500 for everything, including leather and all types of dyes. Kira R. Cook

I started making a skiving knife today. If I'm going to be making knives, I have to work with leather and a good skiving knife is a critical tool to have. I could have just as easily bought one but this is much more fun. I have a large piece of bandsaw blade from an old wood sawmill. I got it cut to shape and ground out. Then started the tedious task of sanding all the rust off. I got the handles roughed out and the pin holes drilled in the handle and in the blank. Then go it sanded to 800 grit. I don't know if I want to go much further. I don't have a buffer. Its on the list though.

Sorry for the flood of entries everyone. I am new to this website as of today. I have been tooling leather for 12 years now, and I have even more projects to post, but this is the last one I will post today. I thank everyone for the kind replies.
