However some were gear driven and some had a rubber tire running on the hand wheel. On 11/7/2022 at 7:37 PM, shoepatcher said: C, Interested to see how you progress goes on this machine.

HS I have a picture of the stand emblem from different machine (worn of paint but a lot better than on my stand) and I think I will try to replicate it as good as possible but I´m no artist with paint so not sure how it will turn out.

Yep, gold will look good, I can see it now. You'll be fine, take your time, no rush , use Q tips ( ear buds) instead of brushes on the lettering and other fiddly bits , less mess, no stray bristles to mess up your hard work.

Members Constabulary Posted November 9, 2022 Author Members Report Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) I just recalled an old thread where I have posted pictures of another GÖRICKE patcher that once sold on Ebay: https://leatherworker.net/forum/topic/61501-shoepatcher-on-steriods/?do=findComment&comment=403149 I have to take a closer looks at the writing on my machine. Unfortunately very hard to read... EDIT: with some black light and editig... Writing say "ORIGINAL DÜRKOPP SCHUHMACHER MASCHINE" Maybe I can find a close enough font for making a stencil to reproduce that writing.

Members Constabulary Posted November 10, 2022 Author Members Report Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) A little side project - this press came with the Dürkopp patcher. First two pics are from the classified and show the condition "as found". Holds tools with M6 thread on top and 12mm base on the bottom. Little fund raiser I think... Maybe I´l make a wooden base for it.
