whatdoyouthink.gif. This is my collection of Gomph tools. Most are over 100 years old and still look brand new,and yes i do use them for my leather work.Took awhile to get most of them. I still have a few to go but here they are.

The Leather box with the reddiamond tuck leather has the creasers(a little about the box at the end of the tool talk)The tools at the top right hand side are a set of 6 creasers that are called round edge creasers. they leave a very wide crease. the next two on top left and the two ont the bottom left are a set of double edge creasers. there are 4 to this set I am missing two of them #5 and #6. if you have them and want to help me complete the set plese contact me.the last set is a complete set of single line creasers that are are from #1 to #6. . I also have two swivel knifes with this box. now to this box. The box is conered 100% with leather inside and out. The inside of the box is covered with a diamond tuck red leather with solid brass tacks. I covered the outside of the box with 3/4oz calfs leather. The outside of the box on the edge is set with strip of gymp the was cut out with a Hand made scallop punch and solid brass tacks on it. the tools are held in place with a strip of walnut that I cut holes with my 3/4"foresner bit. for the tools and 5/8" for the swivel knifes. the front is got a layer of red diamond tuck with solid brass tacks with the outline cut out with another smaller handmade scallop punch. I have a clint motenson concho for the knob. I still need to put "Gary's Leather Tools" on the front and put a larger concho of the top of the front. hope you liked it. Gary

That is outstanding! Magnificent work. A good display and a good tool rack, while protecting your tools!
