Contributing Member Regis Posted June 29, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) I got a few of the brass handbag frames that Seigle had in their sale paper. I "thought" they would have some kind of gripper teeth. But, each side is just a smooth channel for the leather. Would someone tell me how the leather is pressed in? e.g. Squeeze lowrer edges together on leather? Or, just flatten from one side (inside or outside?)? Does glue (barges) help any? Any tips appreciated. Regis Edited June 29, 2009 by Regis Quote God, Family, and Country (although liberals are attempting to destroy these in the USA)

Contributing Member Regis Posted July 6, 2009 Author Contributing Member Report Posted July 6, 2009 James, I have their catalog and never saw that before. Their frames are in 2 different places (33 & 199) and I just missed it.

Members tonyc1 Posted July 6, 2009 Members Report Posted July 6, 2009 I think it is only about 15 - 20 years since I read that the occupation "Handbag Framer" was taken off the list of diff. occupations listed by the Labour and Industry crowd! I guess it was a busy job once! Tony. Quote
