Members cgleather Posted September 12, 2009 Author Members Report Posted September 12, 2009 Great looking for sure....but what keeps the knife from sliding out of it? They are going to hang on a board mounted to the wall by my bench. They will not be traveling in these so I figured they didn't need to be secured in. Quote
Members cgleather Posted September 12, 2009 Author Members Report Posted September 12, 2009 (edited) Great job, nice clean lines. I do have a question though, what do you have behind it in the background? Ross It is a embossing carriage that I bought from a friend. It was made by Blanchard, I think English made. It has stitch marking wheels for 9, 10, 12, and 14 stitches per inch. Someone has enlarged the holes of some Osborne embosing wheels so they fit it. They are all stored in the brass ball at the top. I took some picks for a closer look. (:Does look alot like a tap handle Storm . Edited September 12, 2009 by cgleather Quote
Members Storm Posted September 12, 2009 Members Report Posted September 12, 2009 That has got to be one of the most awesome pieces of leather equipment I have ever seen. And I'll bet it cost a touch more than beer tap pull! Beauty and function all in one! It is a embossing carriage that I bought from a friend. It was made by Blanchard, I think English made.

Members TTcustom Posted September 12, 2009 Members Report Posted September 12, 2009 Thanks for the heads up, I had to come check it out. Those ol' boys from Globe sure have been good to you, really a cool old tool!

A lovely tool, both to look at & in concept. Too expensive for my modest needs/budget though. Lucky you, finding a good used one Quote Simple Leathercrafting
raysouth Posted December 22, 2014 Report Posted December 22, 2014 Very nice way to hold and display the knife. Great workmanship and a pleasure to see. Merry Christmas and a great New Year. God Bless. Ray Quote
